Remaking Se7en: My Casting Choices

I’m back with my next remake article! Today is dedicated to one of my all-time favorite psychological thrillers, Se7en! Se7en follows a seasoned detective and his hotshot replacement who track down a maniac who kills people using the seven deadly sins as his method. As always I made my choices based on age, looks, and how I picture their overall performances. I hope you enjoy and let me know who you’d cast! (REMINDER: this is just hypothetical fun!! I respect everyone mentioned and this series isn’t meant to tear anyone down or be disrespectful!!)
