• Beginnings and Endings

  Screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker credits the time he spent in New York City as a major influence on his writing of Se7en. Fincher and Khondji collaborated on a "bleach bypass" process of photography which makes the dark colors richer on the film stock.

  There were several alternative endings written for the film, some of which were shot. An alternate ending involving the brutality of Brad Pitt's character was scrapped as it did not seem to match his previous actions.
