The First Omen Director Interview: Making a Horror Movie with Disney
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 06. 2024
- Every first feature is a massive challenge and monumental achievement, but a feature directorial debut doesn’t get much bigger than making a new The Omen movie with a company like 20th Century Studios at your back. After directing episodes of Channel Zero, Legion, Briarpatch and Brand New Cherry Flavor, that’s the opportunity first-time feature filmmaker Arkasha Stevenson scored.
The First Omen is a prequel to the 1976 Richard Donner-directed classic. It introduces Nell Tiger Free as Margaret, a young American novitiate who goes to Rome to work at an orphanage before taking the veil. She’s thrilled to start heading down this new path, convinced it’s her destiny, but soon comes to realize she’s right smack in the middle of an extremely dark and sinister conspiracy, one that causes her to question her faith.
In celebration of The First Omen’s April 5th release, Stevenson joined me for an extended interview to recap her journey from studying photojournalism to contributing to one of the most legendary horror film franchises of all time.

Just saw this movie tonight. I'm definitely following this director from now on.
Arkasha Stevenson is AMAZING! Definitely a director on the rise to greatness. Spectacular interview! Thank you! 🙏
She did an exceptional job directing this. Loved the film.
Omg, Arkasha Stevenson seems like the best person ever and so far all the stuff she’s made has been epic. Will be exciting to watch her career flourish!
Just saw the film- one of the best horrors I've seen in some time, and her direction was perfect. The suspense and atmosphere were top notch, and all her directorial choices served the story perfectly. Very mature, effective filmmaking. I'm officially a fan, and will be looking forward to whatever she does next.
Having seen the movie and really liking it, I thought it was very eel made, probably one of the best horror prequels I think I’ve ever seen in fact, this interview was my first time being introduced to Arkasha and I must say she comes across as a lovely person, very sweet and ultra talented. Can’t wait to see more of her work and hopefully a sequel to The First Omen
there was a scene,I think she did a tribute to Possession 1981❤
Arkasha you have made an amazing first feature that took me back to the terror and dread I felt as a child watching the first donner Omen movie. Your film is beautiful, gnarly, unhygienic and terrifying. I can pay you no higher compliment ❤️
Arkasha's very sweet and unassuming in interviews but such an amazing talent. Can't wait to see what's next from her.
She is hot.
Job well done on making the movie, and she's definitely one to keep an eye on. Great chat as usual 👏🏼👏🏼🤘🏼
As a devout 'Omen' fan...this was an exceptional movie. Absolutely outstanding. Thank you for a brilliant interview also...great questions.
Ladies and gentlemens this is one of the best prequels ever made
Care Bears always freaked me out as well as kid…. but this was back in the 80’s like the LAND WITHOUT FEELINGS!
Since she mentions "Wild At Heart" as an inspiration to be a filmmaker at least she has great taste! Awesome interview.
How was this her first movie. So stylish, so creepy & so good!
Amazing flick, can’t wait to own
I watched the FIRST Omen in yesterday and he gave me a lot of 🎥Rosemary's Baby vibes... Like it was almost paying homage to that movie.
Thank you so much for making me aware of Channel Zero! It looks awesome! 😎
A really creative horror anthology series. Loved it
Now i’m thinking there should be a spin off from “The Omen” franchise. a series called “The Chronicles of Buganhagen” it would show him as a young man just starting out in the priesthood then eventually he would notice and become experienced with demon possession and exorcism and later become an exorcist. He always seemed like a mysterious interesting charecter to me. I’d like to see a series about him.

LOVED THIS MOVIE
Damn good movie!
Where is the next part of the interview? Perri mentioned a part 2.
Where is the next part of the interview?
She did a great job...no cap
So where is the spoiler portion of the interview?
This film deserves so much love, because it seems like the 20CS marketing department has royally FU with it.
Anyways, I saw _Immaculate_ and TFO as a double feature this past Sunday. I really enjoy both films, but kind of pissed at the climax of TFO, through no fault of the creative team, because the possibe ending was set in stone due to it being a prequel.
People forget that Disney makes movies like Pulp Fiction and Poor Things
she's gorgeous!
Braveheart/ Carebears ... and still rated R. I'm so watching that on mushrooms 😹🍄😹🍄
❤🎭📽️10/10
She reminds me of carey mulligan
Where is the spoiler portion!!!??? Ahhh
10/10
🌞🌝🌅👁️👁️
Movie was absolutely Fantastic! She should be proud!
I can’t believe there was another baby!
The first Omen director was Richard Donner,wtf.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or just utter stupidity. They're not talking about the literal first Omen movie, but a new one called The First Omen. Duh?
@EmlynBoyle yeah agreed. This person sounds dumb. The movie is called First Omen. Richard did The Omen
This was the most predictable horror i have ever seen
Listening to this woman speak please for the love of horror, keep her away from more horror movies
Stop making shit Omen movies. There is nothing redeeming about this person's directing abilities.
Jealousy's a terrible thing.
Clearly hasn't seen the movie but comments like a GIANT twat anyway 😂
Did you see the movie. It is very good.
@@michaelivan9066 I did, hence my post.
@@EmlynBoyle If it makes you feel any better, I'd rather watch The First Omen again over, you know, your stop motion stuff.
