Follow-up to the Brad Pitt/Morgan Freeman movie
A prequel to one of the best thrillers of the 90s, “Se7en”, is about to get underway, says Bloody Disgusting.
Called “Virtue”, the film is said to be written as a stand-alone feature but will have some links to the Brad Pitt/Morgan Freeman starring film.
According to the site, a treatment has been written for the film – which at this stage David Fincher, the director of the original, is not mentioned as helming – with the studio now on the lookout for someone that’s handy with a pen to flesh out the full screenplay.
Meantime, a separate spin-off of the original “Se7en” film, a comic book series has also been commissioned. The comics will also serve as a prequel to the events of the 1995 film.
“Se7en” fixed on a serial killer (Kevin Spacey) whho forces each of his victims to die by acting out one of the seven deadly sins. The murder scene is then artfully arranged into a grotesque tableau, a graphic illustration of each mortal vice. Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt are the detectives who skillfully track down the killer–all the while unaware that he has been closing in on them, as well.
