“I obtained it in my contract that the ending has to remain,” Pit added. Earlier than capturing Se7en, Pitt had the expertise of a viral scene getting trimmed out within the closing minimize due to doable controversy. That’s the very last thing Brad Pitt needed in Se7en. And he made positive that by no means occurred.
