"THE FINAL CONFLICT"

ANNOUNCEMENT STORY

"The Final Conflict," the third and concluding chapter in the 
"Omen" trilogy, climaxes the chilling saga of Damien Thorn, the 
son of Satan now grown to adulthood and, as trusted advisor to the 
President of the United States, one step away from the most 
powerful position on earth. The 20th Century-Fox release, a Harvey 
Bernhard Production in association with Mace Neufeld, opens XXX at 
the XXX theatre.

Directed by Graham Baker from a screenplay by Andrew Birkin, "The 
Final Conflict" was produced by Harvey Bernhard with Richard 
Donner as executive producer.

Sam Neill, who gained worldwide critical acclaim for his 
performance in the Australian film, "my Brilliant Career," is 
electrifying as Damien, now 33 and more determined than ever to 
dominate the souls of all men.

Starring with Neill are Rossano Brazzi as a priest whose sacred 
mission is to thwart Damien's plan for worldwide conquest; Don 
Gordon as Damien's aide, partnered in a deadly scheme that 
ultimately endangers the life of his new-born son; Lisa Harrow as 
Kate, a television journalist who falls in love with Damien, 
unaware of his true identity until it is almost too late, and 
Barnaby Holm as Harrow's young son who falls under Damien's 
malicious influence. 

Although Damien is the personification of man's darkest impulses, 
an incarnation of pure evil, the character emerges with human 
dimensions as well.

"I had to be quite careful to make Damien an amiable kind of man, 
very smooth in action and appearance," Sam Neill explains. "At the 
same time I had to let his true inner nature show through the 
seductive facade.

"He is the human son of Satan, fully committed to his Father. But 
just as Mary Magdalene represented temptation to Jesus, so Kate 
represents temptation to Damien. She arouses human feelings within 
him that could so easily lead him astray from his insidious 
mission, his inglorious destiny."
