Se7en was just a deadly movie. A lot of “thriller” flicks have since tried hard to copy it’s formula… some have been pretty good… but none have equaled the energy and intensity of Se7en.
Now, the good folks over at Freeze Dried Movies are reporting that the studio really wants a sequel. Who can blame them? But director David Fincher in a recent interview that he wasn’t thrilled with the concept for the project that the studio pitched to him:
“I read a script two or three years ago that they wanted to make the sequel to Se7en. It didn’t make a lot of sense to me. They wanted Morgan to have become clairvoyant in some way and that was the way he was now solving serial-killer cases! And I was like, ‘Well, that’s handy!’ Its the kind of high concept you worry about.”
Ummm… excuse me?!?!? A clairvoyant?!?! Are you kidding me?
Anyway, it looks like Fincher gave the idea a thumbs down and said the studio has to come back to him with a different concept. Whheewww! But still… it’s good to know they want to do another one. I think there is a real story to be told about Brad Pitt’s character after the death of his wife.
