Hollywood What If Chapter 7

  Se7en was about two detectives trying to solve the seven murders that "embodied" the seven deadly sins. It may sound simple when you think about it that way, but each death was gruesome and full of motives.

  Now, the job of the swriter and the writing partners was to make the motives believable. The plot had to be logical, as did the ses. To make every character plex and alive.

  New Line ema wao ge the ending because it was too disturbing but both Kazir Grey and David Fincher fought against it. In their opinion, the ending was the best part of the movie.

  William Somerset was an old detective who wao retire. The Seven Murders, representing the seven deadly sins, was his st case before retirement. He was old but calm, mature, and experienced.

  David Mills was a youive, he was William's partner in the murder case. He was hot-headed, but his iions were good. He was dedicated to his job.

  These two characters o be fleshed out. The writers would do their best to make it happen. But it would all depend oors who would py the part.

  "Thank you John, we will call you if you get the part."

  John Paul Cusaodded. He thought his ag was good and the role suited him. His st movie, "The Road to Wellville" with Anthony Hopkins was released on October 28th.

  The movie was based on a novel and everyohought it would do well at the box office. Unfortunately, it only earned 2.5 million in its opening week. emascore believed that the movie would not make more than 7 million in North Ameribsp;

  This meant only ohing, the movie flopped at the box offibsp;

  2.5 million may look big, but the total budget of "The Road to Wellville" was 25 million! It only made a tenth of its budget.

  This time the produ of Se7en invited him to audition for the role of David Mills.

  To be ho, John Cusack was not sure if the movie would be successful. He read 2/3 of the script and it was bloody. Because he never read the whole script, he didn't know the motives of the killer.

  John Cusack walked out of the audition room smiling, and David Fincher asked the people around him.

  "What do you think of John?" He looked at the producer, Arnold Kopelson and Kazir Grey.

  "If you ask me... John is a too-good boy for the part. His face looks like a good guy. David Mills should look fierd hotheaded, I 't see that in John Cusack. Unless he grows a beard, but I don't think he would fit the part."

  Arnold Kopelson and David Fincher Kazir's opinion. They have the same opinion.

  "His ag is great, but this role is not for him."

  "The's call the one. Kazir, you reehis actor for this role."

  "That's right."

  They invited actors who would fit the roles of David Mills and William Somerset. So far they had met Al Pao and Man Freeman.

  The studio had already decided on Man Freeman as William Somerset. He had the vibe and no one would question Man's ag.

  'I don't know why, but I feel like Man Freeman alys the role of the calm old veteran in the movies he's in. Well, it really suits him. '

  To be ho, we have never seen Man Freeman as a young man in his entire filmography. He is always an old and mature man.

  While he was thinking, the actor appeared and everyoiced his appearanbsp;

  "Hello, Brad."

  "Hello, Director David."

  Brad Pitt's demeanor was that of a young, impulsive, arong man. Perhaps Brad Pitt was seriously preparing for the audition and his demeanor showed it.

  Se7en was actually a gamble for Brad Pitt's career. This kind of bloody movie might flop at the box office. However, Brad received an invitation and he liked the script after reading it.

  David and Kazir nodded as they watched his movements. No question, Brad Pitt fits the role. If nothing bad happened, he would get the role.

  Brad Pitt's st two movies grossed over 100 million worldwide and his sary would definitely not be less than three million.

  After showing his ag, they decided to ask Brad some questions.

  "Brad, what do you think about David Mills?"

  "If you ask me, I think David Mills' iions are pure and good-hearted. Even though his as were reckless, he wao make the world a better pce. That's why he became a detective."

  "Good. Thank you, Brad. We will call you as soon as we decide."

  "Thank you."

  After Brad Pitt left, David looked at Kazir and nodded.

  Kazir was right, Brad Pitt could make David Mills a real person.

  "Let's tihe audition."

  But of course everyone uood that a diamond in the rough might show up. After all, Brad Pitt's sary could be a problem.

  In the end, they auditioned all the promising actors who might fit the role of David Mills. But they decided to go with Brad Pitt.

  Brad Pitt has a strong box office appeal and his name was already known. He had fans all over the world and they hose fans to watch the movie.

  After all, they were making a ercial movie, not an artistie.

  Brad Pitt's ageiated and Brad's sary was 4 million dolrs. It was an amount they could bear sidering Brad Pitt's box office appeal.

  As for Man Freeman, the tract was 2 million.

  Almost 1/6 of the movie budget went to the two actors alone.

  The cast also included Gwyh Paltrow and Ronald Lee Ermey.

  Se7en was a gamble because of the premise of the movie. It was dark and gritty and people might not like it. heless, the two actors accepted the roles.

  [Note: What I'm about to write may not be so accurate and correct. To be ho, I only watched famous Hollywood movies. I didn't know most of the actors and actresses of the 1990s. I only searched them using Google. So please bear with me. As for sary and such, I will trust Google. Unfortunately, I 't find the exact sary of Man Freeman during the filming of Se7en].
