Not only was it is a very successful film, but it also managed to impress critics to the point that it stands as one of the most iconic works in Fincher’s impressive legacy and even managed to score an Oscar nomination.

Brad Pitt’s cult classic film is making its way back into theaters
Brad Pitt’sSe7enis certainly a masterpiece. The film has an excellent premise, being inspired by Greek mythology, Pandora’s box, and the seven deadly sins. Rather than going for a grand approach with this concept, the film follows a killer who takes inspiration from these myths and decides to base his murders on them.

The actor was quite to reveal that he was offered the role of Detective Mills before it went to Brad Pitt. However, Washington ended up rejecting the film for a very surprising reason. He confessed that he thought the film had satanic or demonic themes, which is why he steered clear of it.
