Father Brennan: You'll see me in hell Mr. Thorn.
Father Brennan: We'll spend eternity together.
- Mia Farrow's death kiss (to Julia Stiles) wasn't scripted and no one knew she was going to do it.
- Julia Stiles did her own stunt when she fell to the floor (when Damien tries to kill his mother). The flooring for that scene was specially built and padded so that she could safely do the fall.
- The role of Katherine Thorn was originally offered to Rachel Weisz who declined because she was pregnant at the time. Other actresses considered for the part were Laura Linney, Hope Davis and Alicia Witt, before Julia Stiles who finally got the part. Stiles and Mia Farrow were both in a play together, and Stiles suggested to director John Moore that they use Farrow for the role of Mrs. Blaylock (Damien's nurse). Initially Moore didn't think that Farrow would accept the role, but Stiles convinced him she would. Eventually he just rang up Farrow at her home and offered her the part.
- The studio originally wanted the film to receive a PG-13 rating but John Moore insisted on an R-rating, suggesting people would "smell a cop-out" if a remake of The Omen (1976) was to receive a family friendly certificate.
- Harvey Stephens, who portrayed Damien in The Omen (1976), appears in this remake as the tabloid reporter who asks Robert Thorn if the deceased nanny "was on drugs".
