A joke for the Christian Right that was horrified at the blasphemies contained in The Da Vinci Code: Check out The Omen. It follows your book much better!
Final Grade: B (...or exactly what you rated the original)
The Upside: Symbolic, subtle, creepy, and very true to the original.
The Downside: Very true to the original. Is the movie really necessary?
On the Side: Rachel Weisz turned down the role of Mrs. Thorn due to pregnancy. Although Laura Linney, Alicia Witt, and Hope Davis were all considered, after a recommendation from Mia Farrow, Julia Stiles finally got the part.
