When the film played for the first time in New York City, it had a different ending and cut to black as soon as Mills pulled the trigger on John Doe. David Fincher spoke with the theater beforehand, asking them to keep the theater completely dark after the final image to let the audience take it in. This didn't happen, and the lights in the theater came up as soon as the gunshot was heard. The audience was then immediately handed comment cards asking their thoughts on the movie, and the audience members had to begin thinking up answers to questions like "Who was your favorite character?" Fincher remembers three women who walked by after the screening and hearing one of them say, "The people who made that movie should be killed." It didn't help that the recruiting card to get people into the screening asked, "Would you like to see a new movie starring Brad Pitt (Legends of the Fall) and Morgan Freeman (Driving Miss Daisy)?" "I don't know what the f*ck they thought they were gonna see," says Fincher, "but I'm telling you, from the reaction of the people in there, they were bristling. They couldn't have been more offended." Someone else at that screening came up to Fincher afterwards and said, "Don't be depressed. You'll probably get another job."
