POSTLETHWAITE LOST BROTHER DURING OMEN SHOOT
THE OMEN star PETE POSTLETHWAITE's brother died after drawing three sixes in a card game - while the actor was filming the horror remake.
Pete Postlethwaite attends the Awards Of The London Film Critics Circle (ALFS) held at The Dorchester. London, England - 08.02.06
The USUAL SUSPECTS actor, who plays FATHER BRENNAN, hasn't ruled out the possibility that the satanic film might have a part to play in his 62 year old brother's un-timely death.
Postlethwaite says, "It's not necessarily got anything to do with the film.
"But I think things like that do happen and it's just sometimes we're not sensitised enough to see the problem."
The original 1976 movie was plagued with jinxes - scriptwriter DAVID SELTZER was struck by lightning and GREGORY PECK narrowly avoided dying a plane crash.
