Damian's life between Omen II and Omen III


It would have been interesting to know what Damian was like during this time. How he was in high school for example.

I would imagine that he knew his role was to just keep himself out of trouble and get as much education (political, religious etc.) as possible.

I would picture Damien's highschool life as being a top football player, an honor student and possibly a teenage womanizer. When he graduated, no doubt, he would of probably made valedictorian.

reply

I don't think so. He was told not to stand out when he answered all those history questions so quickly. So even though he can be a star and top student he was told to hold back. It is likely he would have blended in.

It mirrors also the secret life of Jesus-Christ in the bible, as nothing is said of his life between when he was 12 at the Temple and when he started his journey at 30 years old.

Sadly, he spent his time taking lessons on how to give a worse performance and made sure to hire himself a lousy writer and director for his final film.

Wait a minute... who am I here?

I think the new tv series to premier on lifetime will cover this period.. Sadly, the tv series will lack jerry goldsmith's epic score.

The original idea was to have 7 films with the last involving Damien becoming the leader as prophesied, but the mixed reception to this film forced them to end the series in the 3rd film, which also makes sense as it parallels what Jesus Christ supposedly went through, if you believe in that.
Omen IV: The Awakening was a sequel/TV Pilot which was supposedly gonna have Delia, Damien's daughter being the new protector to the new Anti-Christ but that film went through hell and 20th Century Fox took the lost on that.
Of course the remake showed they were now just looking to capitalize on the franchises success, the remake could have been great as it had a great cast but it did the same thing Psycho did, which was just go almost scene for scene as the original, so not to upset the fanatics. In my opinion a remake is only needed if you are actually gonna make it matter in a new time period.

If you watch the Final Conflict the love interest in the lead up to the first TV interview mentions what all he did in that movie's timeline (they screw the years up to the 1950's for some reason, bad screenwriting.) He was a good rugby player or something like that (need to re-watch that one.)

But anyways, I'm sure he did fine in high school. I see him being a hell of a football player. Probably a WR or DB, not big enough to be a RB but good enough to watch the ball. Maybe he could have gotten all American and a scholarship or something. Maybe not top of his class academic wise but he'd have a good GPA. He'd be in either military school or at some Chicago school.

I also see him being a playboy and womanizer (the girls started getting into him at the end of this one,) but no serous ones until Part 3.
