From Rue Morgue magazine, here's David Seltzer, scriptwriter of the original verion of The Omen, the remake of which opens today in America but not here:
"They credited another writer who tampered with about eleven pages, did no more than that, so they basically Xeroxed my script and did it over again."
The Writer's Guild of America has apparently given Seltzer sole screen credit, despite the fact that he was not even approached to work on it.
The only reason I could think of to see this remake is if you saw it on that 6/6/6 opening date. As it's delayed over here, there's no reason to see it. The original sucked donkey dick to begin with, and Seltzer claims they've dumbed it down, so let's all drink to a new low in creative bankruptcy.
