Despite starring in 2006’s The Omen, Julia Stiles still has not seen The First Omen (2024). Stiles was the leading female star of the 2006 remake, which attempted to share Damien Thorn’s story with a more modern audience. It was a financial success, earning $120 million on a $25 million budget, though it earned divisive responses from critics. Its prequel, The First Omen, earned far more love from critics, though it still struggled at the box office. Stiles did not appear in the prequel, as Rachel Hurd-Wood instead took the role of Katherine.
In an interview with Screen Rant‘s Grant Hermanns, Stiles explained that she has little interest in the prequel. While she was partly delayed by the production of her upcoming romance, Wish You Were Here (2025), she also generally dislikes watching horror movies. She might have been willing to star in a horror remake, but watching it is something else entirely. Check out her explanation below:
I have not had a chance to see it. I’ve had my head buried in the Wish You Were Here sand for over a year. I haven’t been able to consume much of other entertainment, because I’ve been so visualizing this movie and executing it in my head, from filming it to editing it to adding music, you know ,that I haven’t had much room or bandwidth. But I will check it out. I’m also scared of horror movies, to be honest. [Chuckles]
