'Seven' Sequel, But No Pitt

A sequel to hit film Seven is to be made - with original star Morgan Freeman but minus hunk Brad Pitt. The grisly serial killer movie wowed audiences in the 1995 who watched as Pitt's character Detective David Mills was left bereft after his wife and unborn baby became the last victims of Kevin Spacey's eerie psycho. Instead the action will center on Freeman's character William Somerset, who partnered Pitt in the first film, as he comes up against another serial killer - who has psychic abilities. An insider says, "The gruesome climax had previously ruled out a sequel. But bosses think they have the right script now. Brad's character will be mentioned, but he will not appear. He will be in a mental hospital."

Hey, what the hell... Why not? Sequels for everyone

this is no sacred ground but still, a sequel is not fitting.

no mention of Fincher being connected?

I'm sure he's not because the mention of the story and sequel and "pyschic" abilities in the killer means only a pay off from the first one.

If they are making a sequel to this, why not make one for Titanic or Last Temptation of Christ. I would like to see how far studios can push this bullshit. They should just get more and more rediculous for the hell of it, they dont see it as making movies, they see it as making money. I bet they could remake Gladiator with succesful results, just re-name it "Auditorium Fighter". Its a shame how stupid audiences are, and its a shame how money hungry studios are as well. Its a dangerous mix.

Arent they seriously making a Gladiator sequel or prequel? Possibly with Crowe returning? I read it somewhere, Macguffin?

Screenwriter John Logan recently told CINESCAPE he's working with Ridley Scott on a new GLADIATOR project:

"It's in the story phase, you know, meeting with Ridley [Scott] and talking about what it should be and sort of flushing it out. It's early days, just trying to pick out a story. It does have something to do with the first one and I'm not calling it a sequel."

Logan refused to elaborate, invoking a paranoid fear of homicide: "I can't even tell you because it's all so top secret that if I said anything, Ridley would come running through this door and strangle me. It's going very well, it's going to be very exciting."

CINESCAPE grabbed a moment of GLADIATOR 2 producer Walter Parkes' time, and he confirmed that he's producing the film with Doug Wick. Lucky for you, though, Parkes hadn't been indoctrinated into story secrecy – yet.

"It's 11 years later in Rome! The praetorian guards have taken over. Remember the character Lucius? The little blonde boy? Well, he's the last heir to Marcus Aurelius, right? In history the praetorians had taken over, so as a prince waiting to happen, guess who he finds out his real father is..."

it might not be so bad, i liked Freeman's character. i'm afraid they may make it like one of the other couple of generic thrillers he's been doing ever since Se7en. if the original screenwriter is involved it might be good. if Fincher is involved as well, that would increase the chances significantly............and........as hot as AShley Judd is, if they're paired up again......i'm afraid it'll be lumped in with the other generics too

i doubt it will actually be called seven 2

RegularKarate · January 14, 2003, 01:22:10 PM

Really bad idea... I'd give it a small chance if AKW were to write it, but I seriously doubt he would be involved at all.

It's a shame... You couldn't call it Seven 2 really... it would be more of a spin off than a sequel. The title wouldn't mean anything anymore.

It's like the Lethal Weapon sequels. Mel Gibson was a Lethal Weapon because he was suicidal... after the first movie, he's not anymore, but that's still what they called all the sequels...

Maybe that's a bad example, but none the less, this is a bad idea.

This is very disappointing.

Morgan, if you must do a sequel, make it something worthwhile. Like an Electric Company revival.

Sigur Rós · January 17, 2003, 04:52:01 AM

I dont like the idea! All they wont is to make money. Leave Seven alone. The list of sequels that shouldn't have been made is enormeus....stop it now!!!! :x

tpfkabi · January 17, 2003, 10:12:55 AM
