However, Walker would not earn another film credit to his name for another four years, though he penned several uncredited rewrites during this period, including "The Game" (on which he again worked with David Fincher) and Paul W. S. Anderson's "Event Horizon". In 1999, Walker's "8MM" finally saw the light of day, having been sold by him for a reported $1.25 million. Once again, the film's production encountered concerns regarding the dark subject matter, and the studio asked Walker to lighten the film's tone. With Joel Schumacher as director, Walker felt a rewrite would no longer be needed. But as it turned out, Schumacher supported the studio and made changes of his own, leading to a much-publicized fallout between the two, with Walker virtually disowning the film and walking away from the set. He refused to even watch the film, which became a critical failure. In an interview with "The Guardian", he said that "it was such an inherently depressing experience that the very least I can do is protect myself from the miserable experience of actually watching it." In 2015, he expressed his openness to a redo "8MM" instead of remaking "Seven." The latter has left the studios and producers unhappy with Somerset merely standing there helpless as Mills shot John Doe.
