US EditionBrad Pitt Says ‘Se7en’ “Reinvigorated” His Passion for Acting After “the Most Unhealthy Time”
- Brad Pitt said in a 2024 interview that the 1995 thriller Se7en reinvigorated his passion for acting after a difficult period in 1994.
- Pitt explained that after several negative experiences and feeling lost, his manager Cynthia sent him the Se7en script, urging him to read it despite initial doubts.
- After reading the first seven pages and feeling the cliché, Pitt called Cynthia but continued reading and eventually met director David Fincher, whose vision convinced him to commit.
- Pitt secured a contract clause that kept Se7en's bleak ending unchanged, saying, "When I signed to do the film, I said that ending has to be," and the film later earned an Oscar nomination for best editing.
- Se7en marked a turning point for Pitt by anchoring his career and creative partnership with Fincher, suggesting that standing firm on the film’s ending helped preserve its impact.
