That's interesting.
In Japan, release date is 6-10-06.

I won't be seeing the remake as a matter of principle. The original was a classic. Why remake Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, Monty Python and the Holy Grail? Unthinkable!!!!

Don't worry. I think nobody does remake "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". That's Monty Python's original. Nobody can remake it.

Kenji, you are a man of true taste!

I just saw this remake last night. I'll say that it was better then I expected it to be. I am a fan of the original with Gregory Peck, but I think the Liev Schrieber did a pretty good job.
I've only seen the original once, so the only parts I really remembered were the cemetary/jackal scene and the climax in the church which were all pretty much the same in this one as the original. Everyone says the journalist beheading scene in the original was classic, but I'm having a hard time remembering it....guess I'll just have to buy it on DVD now.
Overall I was entertained by THE OMEN remake and I did jump a few times so in the end I was happy. The only thing I didn't like was the kid who played Damien. IMO he looked more bored then evil. I mean hell, you're the son of Satan...act like it!!!

You liked it? Good for you.
But I won't see remake. I also haven't seen remade "Amityville Horror" and "The Fog". To me, "THE OMEN" is Gregory Peck's version. Who'd like to see remake "The Exorcist"? No! Nobody can puke like Linda Blair. Who'd like to see remake "Helloween"? No! Nobody can scream like Jamie Lee Curtis.
