Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment is celebrating the 30th anniversary of David Fincher’s acclaimed psychological crime thriller “Se7en” by bringing it to 4K Ultra HD for the very first time. Led by powerful performances from Academy Award winners Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kevin Spacey, “Se7en” has left an indelible mark and is rightfully heralded by many as one of the best movies of its time (see my full review of the film HERE).

This beautiful 4K Ultra HD anniversary edition of “Se7en” includes a digital copy and will be available to purchase on January 7th. See below for a full synopsis and release info including a list of special features.

Rating: R for grisly afterviews of horrific and bizarre killings, and for strong language

Two cops (Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman) track a brilliant and elusive killer who orchestrates a string of horrific murders, each kill targeting a practitioner of one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Gwyneth Paltrow also stars in this acclaimed thriller set in a dour, drizzly city sick with pain and blight. David Fincher (“Fight Club, Zodiac”, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”) guides the action – physical, mental and spiritual – with a sure understanding of what terrifies us, right up to a stunning denouement that will rip the scar tissue off the most hardened soul.

Directed by three-time Academy Award nominee David Fincher (“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”, “The Social Network”, “Mank”) from a screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker, the film stars Academy Award winner Brad Pitt (“Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood”), Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman (“Million Dollar Baby”), Academy Award winner Gwyneth Paltrow (“Shakespeare in Love”), along with John C. McGinley (“Platoon”), Golden Globe nominee R. Lee Ermey (“Full Metal Jacket”), and Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey (“The Usual Suspects”, “American Beauty”) as John Doe. The film is produced by Arnold Kopelson and Phyllis Carlyle. 

“Se7en” received an Academy Award nomination for Best Film Editing (Richard Francis-Bruce) at the 68^th Academy Awards.  The film was also nominated for Best Original Screenplay (Andrew Kevin Walker) at the 49^th British Academy Film Awards.

The 4K restoration of “Se7en” was completed at Warner Bros. Discovery’s Motion Picture Imaging (MPI) and was sourced from the original camera negative.  The restoration was overseen by director David Fincher.
