Remember the classic film 'Omen'? We're doing the sequel 'Damien'. Very very exciting script http://t.co/AIvXxId5MI

Produced by Fox TV Studios, the six-episode 'Damien' follows the adult life of Damien Thorn (James), the mysterious child from the 1976 film who has grown up, seemingly unaware of the satanic forces around him. Haunted by his past, Damien must now come to terms with his true destiny - that he is the Antichrist, the most feared man throughout the ages. 'Damien', slated to premiere in 2015, is written and executive produced by Glen Mazzara via his 44 Strong Productions.
