We talked to Keith Levine about The First Omen, Hellraiser, and The Blob.
The First Omen is heading into theaters this week, and the film takes place before the events of The Omen . In honor of the movie's release, ComicBook.com had the chance to chat with producer Keith Levine. In addition to chatting about the new prequel, Levine also offered some updates about other upcoming projects from Phantom Four, the production company founded by David S. Goyer.
"Well, I personally am very excited about – because another one of these 'my parents are out movies' that I'm watching at a young age is The Blob - which we're doing at Warner Brothers, also with David Bruckner ... The Chuck Russell movie just, as a kid, it f*cked me up big time," Levine shared. "There's this movie theater scene towards the end of it where these kids sneak out and they go to the movies and then they get killed by the blob ... I think that was the first time I had seen kids my age die. I was watching all these horror movies. It was always about teenagers and older people, and I think I was like, 'It never felt like me,' but that movie, just because of that scene, really, really, really terrorized me.
"The Internet is eating our entertainment world in so many different ways, so having a vision of something that's come before us, a piece of IP that people recognize is more and more becoming the norm for movies. It's always been the case. It's just getting harder and harder and harder to get original content made," Bruckner shared with ComicBook.com in 2022 about balancing original stories vs. revivals.
