spacey in seven

Rating: 8/10 (29 January 2005)

This is to Gardenwriter.
The reason Kevin Spacey's name is not in the opening credits is because he asked to be uncredited on purpose. This was to keep his character a secret, ambiguous. If people knew Spacey was in it then they would have known that he was John Doe from the very beginning. So that is why. Spacey wouldn't take the role if they had put his name in the opening credits. I think more movies should do this. It is a very smart way of not giving away everything in the movie. Gary Oldman did the same thing in Hannibal, so people would look at the character and not Gary Oldman playing the character.
