G321 - Se7en Research

Se7en was a drama, mystery thriller whose narrative focused on two homicide detectives' hunt for a serial killer who justifies his crimes as absolution for the world's ignorance of the Seven Deadly Sins. An all star cast, including Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, along with a $33,000,000 budget from New Line Cinema set Se7en up for success. Unsurprisingly, this success was produced, taking          £11,434,343 in it's opening weekend in the UK alone and grossing over £20 million in solely the UK. Seven also won 27 awards as well as receiving nominations for 19 others. Seven was regarded as the first "A" production for New Line Cinema, proving that they could attract "A-list" directors and cast.

This has helped us to understand importance of actors in films. An all-star cast in a relatively low budget film can help produce much more success than a high budget film with less-known actors.
