The ending of the screenplay, with the head in the box, was originally part of an earlier draft that New Line had rejected, instead opting for an ending that involved more traditional elements of a detective thriller film with more action-oriented elements. But when New Line sent David Fincher the screenplay to review for his interest in the project, they accidentally sent him the original screenplay with the head-in-the-box ending. When New Line realized that they had sent Fincher the wrong draft, the president of production, Michael De Luca, met with Fincher and noted that there was internal pressure to retain the revised version; De Luca stated that if Fincher promised to make the movie, they would be able to stay with the head-in-a-box ending. Despite this, producer Arnold Kopelson tried to get rid of the head-in-a-box scene. However, after reading the initial script, Brad Pitt had actually agreed to do the film on the condition that "the head stays in the box"; he joined Fincher in arguing for keeping this original scene, noting that his previous film Vento di passioni (1994) had its emotional ending cut after negative feedback from test audiences, and refusing to do Se7en unless the head-in-the-box scene remained.
