David Fincherfans will get a chance to see one of his best in the coming months. His 1995 noir thriller,Se7en, is set to hit IMAX in January. Fincher’s early collaboration withBrad Pittfeatures the actor as David Mills, a cop new to a crime-ridden city under a perpetually overcast sky. Paired up with a jaded veteran detective, William Somerset (Morgan Freeman), the two have to stop the brutal killings of a serial killer inspired by the Seven Deadly Sins. Pitt would later star in Fincher’s cult classic film,Fight Club, only a few years later, butSe7enwas one of his first critical successes and has gone on to be remembered in its own right. While the story is undoubtedly bleak, it was a masterclass in the detective genre, marking Fincher as a filmmaker to watch out for.
Three decades after it first premiered in theaters,Se7enwill live on again. A new poster for the event has been released, highlighting the dark elements of the film. The background shows a dark silhouette of Somerset in his iconic hat, while the foreground is darkly lit and rain-spattered. This poster showcases the gritty feel of the film, enticing viewers to catch another classic in the theater.
Classic Films Are Having a Resurgence In IMAX
New movies aren’t bringing film-goers into the theater in droves like they once were, but this push to put vintage films in IMAX is a large draw. 30 years after the fact, Fincher has made a name for himself, directing complex characters in thrillers and dramas alike. Viewers who didn’t have the chance to seeSe7enthe first go around are now blessed with this release. The re-release is following in the footsteps of other fan-favorite movies returning to theaters, likeSawfor Halloween and the imminentChristopher Nolanmovie everyone has been begging for.
Interstellarwill return to IMAXafter pleading from fans. TheMatthew McConaughey-led sci-fi film is a feature suited for the medium. Nolan has always excelled at sound mixing and editing, something thatInterstellarhas in spades.Hans Zimmer’s score should be heard through blaring speakers, and Nolan’s visuals are nothing to scoff at. These large set pieces are exactly what fans look for in a good theater experience.Se7enmay not be as audacious and large-scale asInterstellar, but cinema buffs will relish the experience of seeing a true detective piece that set off Fincher’s career. Acting, cinematography, and direction all come together to make this event memorable. Viewers can catch the IMAX screening ofSe7enin theaters on January 3.
Two detectives, a rookie and a veteran, hunt a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins as his motives.
