Se7en's "Sequel" That Actually Released: The Story of Solace (The Story of Ei8ht)

In the mid-2000s, development began on a sequel to David Fincher's psychological thriller, Se7en, without Fincher. New Line Cinema took an existing script and turned it into a sequel to Se7en, title Ei8ht. Hijinks ensued, and eventually, we were left with a movie called Solace, and it's not very good. In this video we tell the story of Solace to Ei8ht back to Solace.

Solace sounds like something that should be in M Night Shyamalan’s Glass series.

I've never wanted to ask if there was an idea for a Seven sequel, but figured I'd finally look. It's not a bad idea, maybe following Somerset's story as a newly inspired detective? (That's like the one thing you could pull from Seven as having a "happy ending") They could even follow Mills' story, and the aftermath of John Doe that he's left with (especially since a big part of Doe's motivation was how his crimes were going to affect society) Hell, maybe Mills could've been the new killer, and Somerset tries to stop him, or something... But I feel like Seven's a dying breed of film. One which got pretty much everything right, and unlike most films nowadays, it's been left untouched. No one's tried to remake it, adapt it into anything, or make a crummy sequel like this idea. Kinda sad we didn't get more, but I don't think I would've wanted anyone messing with the masterpiece.

2:00 i think giving summerset psychic powers is a bit stupid but Kevin Spacey having a kid with psychic powers would make some sence. The plot twist should have Brad Pit suffering from disturbing dreams years later and hunting copycat serial killers, inserting himself in to other peoples investigations, the cops around him thinking its a bad ide untill something happens where Brad Pit finds a guy whi just raped a how lot of famouse celebrity women and beats him to a bloody pult saving a lot of important people. Once that happens he should get a standing ovation and the backing of a fuck ton of senators and the ok to do whatever he wants only to at the end of the movie realize that he was being manipulated by the real killer his living wife who gives him some speach about the corruption of the world and the big cities and tells him that their baby is growing up safe in her families farm and that because of his sacrifice he will grow up in a better world. Then she violently has her men kill him and set themselves aflame using one or two of the celebrity girls to sell a story where her heroic husband died protecting them and revealling that they were all somehow satan worshipers or something.

Like imagine if that then turned in to a franchise where psychic right wingers gradually took power back over from the world

[@ammagnolia]

Se7en is a prequel to batman begins homeboy

[@HemmasStudios_]

Or if they wanted to get nutty- 'Nin9' but the 9 is backward to look like a lower case E

[@srstriker6420]

Even some movies work better as one offs

[@attackofthecopyrightbots]
