 When Harvey Bernhard (qv) had finished writing the script and was  given the green light to start the production, the first person he  contacted was Jerry Goldsmith (qv) because of the composers busy  schedule. Bernhard also felt that Goldsmiths music for  _Omen, The (1976)_ (qv) was the highest point of that movie, and  that without Goldsmiths music this sequel would never be  successful.
