Originally the film was to open with Detective Somerset, going to look at an old house in the country that he is planning buying. The character tears a piece of the wallpaper off and carries it with him. Originally the opening credits were supposed to play over Somerset's train ride back to the city, but the production ran out of money before they could film this sequence. David Fincher felt the train ride tied this opening to the city and the darkness Somerset must face there, so the whole scene was cut. Moments with Somerset and the piece of wallpaper were filmed to be included throughout the film, but they were forced to be cut, as well. According to Morgan Freeman, if a character can wear a hat, the added prop will add a sense of who that character is to the performance. He used this technique for Somerset. "You put the hat on, and you look, and you see the character. You know who he is," says the actor.
