Directed by Arkasha Stevenson, the film is inspired by David Seltzer's characters, with a story by Ben Jacoby and a screenplay by Tim Smith, Arkasha Stevenson, and Keith Thomas. David S. Goyer and Keith Levine produce, with Tim Smith, Whitney Brown, and Gracie Wheelan as executive producers.

Three sequels to The Omen have been made, with the latest remake starring Liev Schreiber and Julia Stiles, released in 2006, portraying the roles of Robert and Katherine. 20th Century Studios is likely aiming for the possibility of producing additional installments, considering the cost-effectiveness of horror films, which often have lower budgets and can attract broad audiences.
