'Solace' trivia and fun facts

The script for this movie was originally picked up by New Line Cinema, with the intention to rewrite it as a sequel to Seven (1995), tentatively titled Ei8ht. The main character was supposed to be Se7en's Detective William Somerset who had acquired psychic powers. This idea was dropped after Se7en director David Fincher reacted negatively to the idea, after which it was produced as a stand-alone film.

The project was originally going to be directed by Shekhar Kapur with Bruce Willis in the lead role.

The film was scheduled for a late 2015 release, but the film's US distributor - Relativity Media - has encountered financial trouble and have put off the release.
