Trivia:
|
- Charles S. Dutton has a cameo as the cop who keeps the press out of the Greed crime scene.
- 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 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.
- Originally, Somerset 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.
- David Fincher makes a cameo a the voice on the phone when Mills answers it in John Doe's apartment.
- All the building numbers in the opening scene start with 7. The climactic delivery was scheduled for 7pm.
