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.

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.
