What I want to know, is will the cast and crew be struck by constant tragedy as in the last making?
I;ve got this information from various websites and a documentary that was on before Christmas last year.
On the very first day of filming a crew member was involved in a head on collision with one of the film comapnies station wagons.
On a flight from London to Los Angeles, Gregory Peck's plane was struck by lightening. A few days later the Omen screenwriter David Seltzer took the same flight. HIS plane was also hit by lightening.
Richard Donner narrowly escaped being crushed when a speeding car crashed into the passenger door of the car he was exiting (which was driven by the prducer Harvey Bernhard.)
in the "Devil Dog" scene, in the Italian graveyard where the Hounds of Hell attack Peck and photographer David Warner, one of the dogs tore through the padding and metal suit protecting the stuntman, who required stitches.
The day the film crew finished filming in the tiger compound (a scene that was never used) one of the zoohands was attacked by a tiger and killed.
The film makers posponed a shot featuring a plane so that the owner could take a full charter. The smae day the plane took off, hit a flock of birds, losts its engines and went down onto the end of the ringway and into the street, crashing into a car and killing the people inside... the pilots wife and two of his children. Everyone onboard also died.
Richardson (special FX supervisor behind the beheading scene) was involved in a car crash in Holland with his assistant, who was cut in half. Exclusive interviews with Richardson recall the first thing he saw when he looked out of the windscreen, a sign reading:
"666KM to OMMEN."
