The Big Picture In the 21st century, the age of the “movie star” has dwindled, as highly-anticipated films tend to generate audience interest based on their association with previously existing intellectual property works. While few actors can inspire audience turnout based on their name alone, Denzel Washington has never failed to draw in viewers for his latest projects.
Release Date September 22, 1995 Director David Fincher Cast Brad Pitt , Morgan Freeman , gwyneth paltrow , R. Lee Ermey , Daniel Zacapa Runtime 127 minutes Studio New Line Cinema Why Denzel Washington Turned Down 'Se7en' Following his Academy Award win for Best Supporting Actor for his trailblazing performance in the 1989 war drama Glory, Washington had no shortage of projects that he could choose from.
Related Denzel Washington & Ryan Reynolds Give the CIA a Run for Its Money in This Spy Thriller The intense 2012 action-thriller provides a fresh take on espionage tropes. Although Washington admitted that he regretted turning down the role, he stated that the role “was for Brad at the time.” While Washington’s career managed to survive the miscalculation, Pitt’s trajectory as a star skyrocketed thanks to his powerful performance in Se7en.
Although he stated that the script was one of the best projects he had been offered in a long time, Washington turned down Michael Clayton because he was concerned about working with a first-time director. While screenwriter Tony Gilroy had generated acclaim for his brilliant work mapping out the Bourne franchise, Michael Clayton was his first project as a director.
