The first official teaser for A&E’s upcoming horror drama “Damien” has arrived and can be seen below. The show is being written and executively produced by Glen Mazzara (“The Walking Dead”).
The synopsis for “Damien” reads:
The ten-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.
The series is a direct sequel to the 1976 film The Omen, which starred Gregory Peck.
The trailer features some really cool moments, such as the trembling piano keys and the flashes of ghosts and memories from the original film. Also, play very close attention to the painting of the Thorn’s…
I’m a big fan of The Omen, so I’m very intrigued to see where this is going. Plus, the footage in the trailer below looks very atmospheric and dark, which is what is needed for a story about the Antichrist. It really seems like TV is the best place for horror right now.
