Trivia:
|
- Shortly before shooting John Doe, a flash of Mills' wife's face appears on the screen, a technique that David Fincher uses again in Fight Club.
- The "library" in which Somerset researches the deadly sins is the same building as the "bank" where Jim Carrey works in The Mask.
- David Fincher makes a cameo a the voice on the phone when Mills answers it in John Doe's apartment.
- 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.
- The victim tied to the bed for a year was not an animatronic model, but a very skinny actor made up to look even more corpse-like. Bottin used a set of exaggerated teeth to make the head look smaller and more shrunken from malnutrition.

Credits Fun:
