Se7en Blu-ray, Video Quality

Warner Brothers delivers Se7en to Blu-ray with a fantastically filmic 1080p transfer that dazzles through every shadowy detail and and low-light environment that define the bulk of the film. Blacks are critical to Se7en, and this first-class Blu-ray transfer handles them to perfection, seeing the film's every dark corner brought to gloriously rich and absorbing life with exemplary shadow detail and black levels that never appear too gray or in any way unnatural. Clarity is striking throughout the image, too, even through the dense shadows and low-light conditions that populate the picture. Detail -- such as lines in faces and the texture of clothing -- is scrumptious insofar as objects are visible, though detail never flounders even under the darkest of conditions. Colors are muted and not at all vibrant, but they follow the film's intended visual style; Warner Brothers' Blu-ray release captures every hue as it was meant to be seen. Flesh tones are generally stable though a few scenes see characters taking on a slightly orange appearance. Additionally, slight banding a few halos around objects offset against brighter backdrops are visible, but neither seem like much cause for alarm in the grand scheme of the transfer. Se7en retains a handsome layer of film grain and appears free of malicious digital scrubbing. All told, Se7en represents one of the most natural, absorbing, and breathtakingly filmic transfers available on Blu-ray.

Se7en Blu-ray, Audio Quality

Se7en's wonderfully absorbing DTS-HD MA 7.1 lossless audio soundtrack delivers a full-on sonic assault. Whether the picture's relentlessly rainy atmospherics that create a seamless sense of immersion or the sounds of the city that bring the picture's unnamed but certainly lively setting to vivid life, Warner Brothers' soundtrack delivers nonstop ambience that's second-to-none. If there's a fault to be found with the track's unusually aggressive atmospherics, it's that dialogue is sometimes somewhat difficult to make out when competing with the most dominant of elements, though such is the case with only a handful of scenes. Additionally, Se7en features a prolific low end that devastates the listening area; anything not bolted down is prone to toppling over or scooting off a shelf, and while the track's bass isn't as tight and natural as that found on the absolute best soundtracks, its sheer force nicely supports the picture's heavy, industrial, raw sound. Music is equally potent with a prominent rear-channel element, and like the low end, it lacks in absolute clarity but delivers an as-intended rough and powerful sonic experience. Various gunshots are delivered with a dangerously convincing force, and other action-oriented scenes, like much of the rest of the track, seem to spill from every corner of the listening area but with strongly-realized precision and power. Se7en's might not be the most naturally-engulfing or pristinely-realized soundtrack out there, but Warner Brothers' lossless presentation seems quite faithful to the source and delivers a one-of-a-kind listening experience.

The sloth victim clearly has three arms, one of which is prosthetic

While it is raining on the car, the people on the street are not using umbrellas or other devices to shield themselves from rain.

Detective Mills' tucked-in tie when he is looking at the portrait in the greed victim's office.

Mills gets out of a bed with only a quilted mattress cover. He puts on his shirt and tie and walks back to the bed which now has a sheet on it.

Uneven dispersal of rainfall on the windows of the car.

The amount of the name that is left on the door when the janitor is scraping it off.

Doe hits Mills on the top of the head, then leaves him behind, bleeding. If you look carefully, you can see a tube running on top of Mills' head, presumably carrying the fake blood to his forehead.

On the way to finding the final two victims, the overhead shots show them to be driving in the desert, while shots from inside the car show grey and green flora outside the windows.

The level of the wine glasses when Somerset is over for dinner changes. When the camera is on the Mills, Mrs. Mills glass is higher than Somerset's glass. When the camera is on Somerset, the levels are both lower and equal.

When Somerset is in the taxi on the way to the Library he is wearing a striped shirt under his overcoat. When he gets to the library and is chatting with the security guards he is wearing just a solid white shirt.

Here's one of the few review ( by Gary Tooze ) that i have found on the net:

(...) Wow - this film is almost 15-years old now!
This is single-layered and doesn't appear to be digitally manipulated (no edge-enhancement or DNR visible). Unfortunately it is the incorrect aspect ratio - it should be 2.35:1 as per the theatrical presentation, Criterion LaserDisc, and New Line Platinum DVD (the latter of which even devoted a featurette to the film's transfer to home video). Alliance "opened up" the Super35 image to full gate, clearly sourcing their master from something prepared for HD broadcast but definitely not going by Fincher's or Khondji's preferred AR. (Thanks Bill!)

The transfer has produced healthy grain visible (like the theatrical). The image quality gives a decent presentation, easily superior to SD-DVD, but might look a shade better with improved compression and dual-layering - I don't know. Detail has a few strong moments in close-up and the bitrate is reasonably low at around 20 Mbps. Daylight scenes are more impressive and colors reflect a pastel noir-like aura (...)

SCRIPTS...

2009-06-02T22:02:00.003+01:00

The first one that i found is a draft script dated January 27, 1992:

www.imsdb.com/scripts/Se7en.html

It's less appropriate then the final draft that is pointed below, dated August 08,1994:

www.sfy.ru/sfy.html?script=se7en

I couldn't find the so called, shooting script...
If anyone had the chance to get close to it...please let us know

TRIVIA

2009-04-29T13:58:00.003+01:00

While filming the scene where Mills chases John Doe in the rain, Brad Pitt fell and his arm went through a car windscreen, requiring surgery. This accident was worked into the script of the film.
The autopsy of the first killing, as originally scripted, was incorrect according to the research of makeup man Rob Bottin (who viewed a real human autopsy as part of his prep work). The scene was truncated from the original script and shows only the sewn-up corpse of Gluttony, not the actual autopsy.
The victim tied to the bed for a year was not an animatronic model, but a very skinny actor made up to look even more corpse-like. Rob Bottin used a set of exaggerated teeth to make the head look smaller and more shrunken from malnutrition.

Originally, Morgan Freeman drew his pistol with his finger on the trigger. Police officers that were on the set as technical advisors quickly corrected him, as that is not correct police procedure.
Somerset's office number, 714, is also Joe Friday's badge number as shown in the background of the opening and closing credits in the old TV series, "Dragnet" (1951).
The prison jumpsuit John Doe wears at the end of the film has the words "Bardach County Jail" written on it. Elinor Bardach was the costume supervisor for this movie.
One version of the script contained a few scenes following the final confrontation between the detectives and John Doe. In one, Somerset is recovering in the hospital after being shot by Mills, and the captain delivers a letter to him from Mills which reads, "You were right. You were right about everything."
The original script had a strange, dwarf-like woman as part of the forensics team, appearing in every one of the "cleanups" after a murder and hurling foul language and epithets at Somerset and Mills.
An edited-out sequence near the beginning had Somerset looking over the country home he's planning on moving into. He uses his switchblade to cut loose a rose on a fragment of silk wallpaper and carries it with him throughout the movie. The rose falls out of his jacket as he is taking off his gun before eating with the Mills family. (This touch was edited out, too. Both sequences are in the supplementary section of the Criterion laserdisc.) The rose is briefly visible in the opening scene, sitting atop a handkerchief on Somerset's dresser.
The screenplay had references to a partner Mills had when he still lived in the country, named Parsons. Parsons was shot and killed while on a bust with Mills, and consequently Mills is overprotective of Somerset in some scenes. All references to Parsons were deleted before shooting began.
A rejected version of the credits had the same scratchy handwriting and Coil-remixed "Closer", but used static images instead of the jumpy, blurred footage used currently. (This credit sequence is in the Criterion laserdisc supplement section.)
Mills and William Somerset discuss the book "Of Human Bondage", which was written by W. Somerset Maugham.
In one scene, Mills belittles Doe as a "Movie of the Week". When this film was shown on network television, the line was changed to "Book of the Month". (The line has since been restored in subsequent showings on Cable television.)
All the building numbers in the opening scene start with 7. The climactic delivery was scheduled for 7pm.
New Line executives originally balked at the film's ending, but Brad Pitt refused to make the film if the ending were changed.
The "Platinum Series" DVD of Se7en by New Line is mastered from a new HDTV transfer which was made directly from the camera negative. This required that the whole film had to be re-graded digitally, applying color and contrast correction to every shot under the director's supervision. The resulting HDTV master is now the official master of the film. The digital corrections are quite extensive in some shots as the DVD supplements demonstrate in detail.
Charles S. Dutton has a cameo as the cop who keeps the press out of the Greed crime scene.
Cameo: [Andrew Kevin Walker] The writer of the film appears as the first corpse.
When Somerset is in his apartment, he can be heard listening to a radio broadcast of John McClellan. McLellan was a Boston disc jockey (among other things) who did live Tuesday night broadcasts from the Boston club Storyville, on WHDH radio in the early 1950s. In the clip in the movie, you can hear McLellan's voice announcing some of the members of the band at Storyville that night, including Charlie Parker with Herb Pomeroy on trumpet.
All of John Doe's books were real books, written for the film. They took two months to complete and cost $15,000. According to Somerset, two months is also the time it would take the police to read all the books.
Screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker wrote the script over a two year period while working at a branch of Tower Records.
R.E.M's Michael Stipe was once considered for the role of John Doe.
As preparation for his traumatic scene in the interrogation room, Leland Orser would breathe in and out very rapidly so that his body would be overly saturated with oxygen, giving him the ability to hyperventilate. He also did not sleep for a few days to achieve his character's disoriented look.
The film was the subject of a lawsuit brought by a photographer whose work was used in the background of John Doe's apartment. The case was decided in the filmmakers' favor. Sandoval v. New Line Cinema Corp., 973 F.Supp. 409, 412-414 (S.D.N.Y 1997).
In the scene where Somerset and Mills enter Mills' apartment and are welcomed by Mills' wife, during the second frame, on the right side there can be seen a large poster for Pyshka (1934) directed by Mikhail Romm. Andrei Tarkovsky was under Romm's instruction in VGIK film school.
Morgan Freeman's son, Alfonso Freeman, played the part of a fingerprint technician.
Denzel Washington turned down the part that went to Brad Pitt.
When looking for the part of Victor, David Fincher stated that he wanted to find someone who was incredibly skinny, around 90 lbs. Michael Reid MacKay auditioned, and at the time weighed 96 lbs. Fincher gave him the part and jokingly told him to lose some more weight. Much to his surprise, MacKay turned up to filming having lost another 6 lbs.
The song "6ix" from the Evan Dando album "Car, Button, Cloth" gives away the ending of the film.
This was voted the eighth scariest film of all time by Entertainment Weekly.
The word "fuck" and its derivatives are said a discernible 74 times throughout the movie, mostly by Brad Pitt.
According to earlier versions of the script, the unspoken name of the police captain is Captain Lucas.
David Cronenberg was offered a chance to direct this but he turned it down.
The box full of photographs at the "Sloth" scene has written on the side "To the World, from Me."
Before Kevin Spacey was set to shoot his first scene, he asked director David Fincher if he should shave his head for the role. David Fincher replied "If you do it, I'll do it." Both Fincher and Spacey were bald for the remainder of the movie production.
This was regarded as the first "A" production for New Line Cinema, proving that they could attract "A-list" directors and cast.
Brad Pitt earned $7 million for this film.

>>> WARNING: Here Be Spoilers <<<

Trivia items below here contain information that may give away important plot points. You may not want to read any further if you've not already seen this title.

SPOILER: R. Lee Ermey originally auditioned for the part of John Doe. After the part was given to Kevin Spacey, Ermey was offered, and took, the part of the police captain.
SPOILER: Shortly before shooting John Doe, a flash of Mills' wife's face appears on the screen, a technique that David Fincher uses again in Fight Club (1999).
SPOILER: The producers intended that Kevin Spacey should receive top billing at the start of the movie but he insisted that his name not appear in the opening credits, so as to surprise the audience with the identity of the killer. To compensate, he is listed first in the closing credits.
SPOILER: Another advantage from Kevin Spacey's point of view, as he saw it, was that he was excluded from the film's marketing during its release, meaning he didn't have to make any public appearances or do any interviews.
SPOILER: Even though he's probably one of the most horrifying and sadistic killers in cinematic history, John Doe isn't seen killing anyone on screen.
SPOILER: To appease the producers, who wanted to soften the dramatic ending a bit, an alternate version of the ending was storyboarded, with Somerset saying that he "wants out", and killing John Doe, thereby preventing Doe from winning, and Mills from ending up in jail. In the mean time, the crew shot a test ending, which is basically the theatrical ending without some of the dramatic shots. This finale was so well received in screenings that it convinced the producers to go along with it, and not even film the alternate ending.
SPOILER: The ending in the movie is the ending in the original draft of the screenplay. Producer Arnold Kopelson had it rewritten and the ending became a race to save Tracey's life. When David Fincher, Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman read the new ending, they all demanded the that original ending be put back in or they wouldn't do the movie. (From the Platinum Series DVD).

Review

Michel Hafner (3 February 2001):
This new DVD of Se7en has been mastered directly from the original negative. There is no better film master. Is the result as good as this sounds?
The camera negative used is clean and image steadiness is very good. Anything else would be a surprise in this context.
The whole film has been regraded in the digital domain using a high definition transfer from that camera negative. This allows incredible precision of color and contrast rendering. So much that the director now says that the original master of this film that shows his vision is the digital HDTV version this DVD has been mastered from, and not any previous master used for making 35mm prints. So color and contrast rendering are as by the director's wishes. And these days the possibilities for manipulation are basically endless, as the supplement about the video transfer very nicely demonstrates. It would be pointless to criticise color and contrast rendition of this disc. And I see no need to. It looks great.
Images are sharp, no wonder. If optimal sharpness is not always available it might be due to some noise filtering.
Fine film grain is often visible, but it looks film-like and is not destracting at all.
If one wants to find fault with this DVD's image quality it's as usual in the video artifacts department where some issues can be addressed. Slight noise filtering artifacts are visible at times. Less slight ringing is present around many high contrast edges, suggesting some use of edge enhancement. Fine image detail is occasionally a bit jittery and flickering, lacking that rock-steadiness you can see when everything is 100% optimal. And there is some aliasing in a couple of shots. None of these are distracting, but clearly visible on a good progressive display.
Compression uses a very high average bit rate and the results are first rate.
This DVD offers film-like pictures, often close to or approaching reference quality. Especially some close-ups are breathtaking. It will look superior on any kind of display that can handle dark material properly.
You also get several running commentaries and there are plenty of good quality supplements on a second disc.
This edition is worth every penny. Highly recommended.

Alternate Versions

USA laserdisc edition adds a few scenes deleted from theatrical release as a bonus at the end of the programme, including: a prologue where Somerset (Morgan Freeman) is going to buy a countryhouse. He uses his switchblade (seen many times in the final cut, but not explained) to cut out a small piece of wallpaper. There is an extended scene at the Mills' when David (Brad Pitt) is playing with his dogs, and Somerset talks to Tracy. He tells her about the house and shows her the wallpaper. She tells him that it wouldn't be such a good idea to show it to David, saying "He wouldn't understand.". These two scenes establish Somerset's characters better, and the second one helps the viewer understand why the wife chooses Sommerset to talk to when she gets pregnant. She knows that Somerset is much more sensible than her husband, and will understand her. The second one however was probably dumped earlier since it is included among the dailies and outtakes and the first one appears as an deleted scene.

In the US version, Tracy Mills calls her husband at the office and asks to speak to Detective Somerset ('Morgan Freeman' ). We see them talking on the phone but only hear what Detective Mills and Somerset say. When Somerset hangs up, he explains to Mills that his wife has invited him over for dinner. In the Italian version Tracy's dialogue has been dubbed over the soundtrack, letting the audience hear her talking on the phone and making the invitation, thus rendering Somerset's later explanation somewhat redundant.

In the Platinum Series DVD released by New Line on 12/19/2000, Mills has a line just as Somerset runs up to him in the climactic scene. The line is supposed to be "What the f***'s he talking about?" Clearly audible on the Criterion laserdisc, this line is obscured on the new DVD because the director, while remastering the sound for the new release, thought that the character should be whispering the line to himself rather than yelling it, as it was on the Criterion laserdisc. Thus, it was altered. The song used for the opening credit sequence is a remix of a remix of "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails. It was credited as "Closer (Precursor) (Remix)" by Nine Inch Nails on the Criterion laserdisc, but the new DVD simply credits the song as Closer by Nine Inch Nails. The new DVD was made using one of the CCE silver retention process prints as the Criterion laserdisc was, while the previous New Line VHS, laserdisc and DVD releases used one of the regular theatrical prints. The song title differs on these prints. Note: The Criterion laserdisc release also moved a few seconds of Howard Shore's score for its last side break so as to keep the entire music cue intact. The cue plays as originally shot on the new DVD.

A few hundred of the 2,500 first-run prints released theatrically were created using a silver retention process called CCE. With silver retention the silver leached out during conventional film processing is rebonded to the print, thus greatly increasing luminosity in the light portions of the image and the density of the dark tones.

The writer, Andrew Kevin Walker, completed two separate drafts of the ending. The first is the one that we see, and the second is one where John Doe is killed by Somerset instead of Mills. This alternate ending sequence was storyboarded and is included in the published script, but never filmed.

The version shown on BBC TV in the UK was heavily cut. All f-words were removed, as were some of the more grisly images in the various murder scenes. Most notable cuts were to the autopsy of the 'gluttony' victim (shots of the victims full body as well as the removed stomach are missing) and the interrogation after the 'lust' murder (we no longer see the picture of the implement used in the murder).

The DVD contains an alternate ending which features alternate takes of some scenes. It shows the delivery guy also hand Sommerset the truck registration. Afterwards, a wide shot of Mills is shown when John Doe reveals Mills' wife was pregnant, instead of the close up. There is no quick flash of Gwyneth Paltrow's face before Mills shoots Doe, and only one shot to the head is fired. There are no additional shots fired at Doe afterwards.

The US television print is heavily edited for language and violence. Also, there is an alternate shot when John Doe takes the gun away from Mills's head. In the original film, we see a shot of Mills's head with the gun to it, and John Doe's arm. Then the gun is quickly whisked away. In the television edit, we're still looking up the barrel of the gun as it is slowly taken away.
