David Fincher’s Se7en returns in 4K for 30th anniversary with IMAX screenings and digital release

David Fincher’s iconic psychological thriller, Se7en, will be re-released in a newly remastered 4K resolution, both digitally and in IMAX cinemas across London starting January 2025. This reissue marks the 30th anniversary of the film, which originally premiered in 1995. The digital and Ultra HD Blu-ray versions will be available from 6th January, while the cinematic release is scheduled for 10th January.

Se7en, produced by New Line Cinema and directed by three-time Academy Award nominee Fincher, features a stellar cast including Academy Award winners Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman and Gwyneth Paltrow. The movie is renowned for its intense narrative and dark aesthetic, which follows two detectives, portrayed by Pitt and Freeman, as they hunt a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins as motifs in his murders.

The restoration of Se7en was undertaken at Warner Bros Discovery’s Motion Picture Imaging (MPI), using the original camera negatives, with Fincher overseeing the process to ensure the film’s visual quality meets modern standards while retaining its original atmosphere.

Alongside its critical acclaim, Se7en received several nominations, including Best Film Editing at the 68th Academy Awards and Best Original Screenplay at the 49th British Academy Film Awards. The feature’s influence has persisted over the years, credited with shaping the thriller genre and noted for its psychological depth and unsettling themes.

The re-release provides an opportunity for both new audiences and longtime fans to experience the film in unprecedented quality. It will be available for purchase on Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc both online and in-store at major retailers. Additionally, digital purchases can be made through platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, Sky Store and Apple TV.

The re-release is part of a broader trend of restoring and reissuing classic films in higher resolutions, catering to a growing consumer appetite for high-quality home cinema experiences. This trend reflects advancements in technology that allow older films to be experienced anew, with enhanced visuals and sound that were not possible at the time of their original release.
