Liev Schreiber, who stars in the upcoming remake of The Omen, told SCI FI Wire that he had his own encounter with the so-called "Omen curse," which caused him to break a rib during a climactic scene. In the scene, Schreiber's character, Robert Thorn, and a photographer played by David Thewlis are chased through a graveyard by a pair of vicious dogs. "I've always been good with dogs," Schreiber (The Manchurian Candidate) said in an interview.

"So I said I would do this particular stunt. It's the scene where the dog grabs my arm and shakes it back and forth. And although you have a pad on while the dog is shaking your arm like crazy, this was a very smart dog. He knew that he couldn't get through to my skin, but that he could see the steel fence I was on. So he probably thought, 'If I just wait a little bit until he's off balance, I can pull him towards me and smash his ribs into the fence!' So he got me! And I thought, 'The curse of The Omen!'"
