03 - Seven

Working past the debacle that was the production of Alien 3, David Fincher quickly found his way to a film that would serve as his calling card for years afterward. Se7en gave him the chance to tell a story outside the shackles of studio interference, uniting him with the talents of Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kevin Spacey. They created a film that shocked audiences, stunned critics, and created a fanbase that follows him to this day.
