David Fincher's "Seven" had a different idea for the legendary title background! ?

The phantom title background disappeared due to budget overrun.

The title of "Seven" is shocking, but it was originally intended to be something different. In fact, there was an unreleased opening scene, and the title background was planned to follow that flow. This unreleased scene is actually included as a bonus feature on the Blu-ray , and its contents are as follows.

The movie begins with Detective William Somerset, played by Morgan Freeman, who is nearing retirement and looking at properties in the countryside for his retirement. Somerset takes a leisurely look around the house in a peaceful rural setting. It's a tranquil scene that could almost be called the calm before the storm.

The scenes are the complete opposite of the gloomy and obscene urban landscape depicted in ``Seven,'' so you might even fall into the illusion that you're watching a completely different movie. The combination of rural scenery and Morgan Freeman makes it seem like an Eastwood or Spielberg movie.

And that's all the footage I shot. The assumption was that after this, Somerset would ride a train to the city and return to the gloomy daily life of the city, but due to overshooting and over budget, it was not possible to film this train part. It is said that it has happened. However, the scene where Somerset returns by train, gets into a taxi, and is fed up with the hustle and bustle of the city was filmed earlier, and is actually used in the main story as the scene where he heads to the library. Indeed, if you look closely, you can see that the pattern of the shirt under the coat is different in the taxi and in the library when you arrive.

Director Fincher says this about this fantastic opening. “The scene in which Morgan Freeman walks through the house was based on the atmosphere of the scene in which Paul Newman walks through the bank in his favorite movie, ``Shoot for Tomorrow! '' It's a scene I really like, but if I had actually used it, it might have been too poetic and the impression would have been different."

As mentioned above, if the series of opening scenes were used as the title and there were no creepy daily footage of the criminal, it would be like a different movie. . Indeed, it may be undeniable that the impression of the movie itself has changed.
