‘The First Omen’ Trailer Promises Satanic Thrills as It Explores the Franchise’s Origins | Video

“The First Omen” is nearly here — and 20th Century Studios just released a creepy new trailer, which you can watch above.

A prequel to the 1976 Richard Donner-directed classic, “The First Omen” stars Nell Tiger Free (“Servant,” “Game of Thrones”) as an American in Rome who is working at an orphanage before becoming a full-on nun. It’s there that she uncovers a sinister plot to birth the antichrist. The film also stars Sônia Braga, Ralph Ineson, Bill Nighy, Tawfeek Barhom and Charles Dance, while Arkasha Stevenson directs.

The original “Omen,” which starred Gregory Peck and Lee Remick, is largely regarded as one of the greatest horror films of all time and spawned a surprisingly robust franchise.
