At a computer?
Gather round.
Huddle up.
Shhh... be quiet.
You may wonder why I'm giving away a perfectly good free movie premise - well, that's just my nature. I'm a delightful person. :D Seriously though, I've contemplated the issue and I'm not going to write it, so I thought I'd throw the idea into the ether for someone else to snatch up.
You've heard of (if not seen) the movie Se7en dealing with the 7 deadly sins and you must be aware by now that there are 7 new sins, according to the Vatican. So, I give you...
14een
There you have it, all yours. By the way, the horizontal line in the 4 should extend further to the right than the typed 4 does, so that it also resembles a t. I figure I'd like to see someone make the movie, so I best give the idea away. So, write the story, contact David Fincher and be on your merry way to stardom!

There are now seven more?

Dear God, why?

Does the Catholic Church really need to be MORE restrictive?

What are they, BTW?

The biggest problem will be the duration. Seven was 127 minutes, so this one must end up around 250 minutes...

Stranger things have happened. I believe there was a Se7en prequel knocking around for a few years called 'Virtue' but, like Mills succumbing to Wrath, it was mercifully shot in the head around 2006.

Not necessarily. Maybe the killer will this time kill people who represent two or three sins each so there'll be seven murders again. For example, since the Vatican denounced pollution, one of the victims could be a gluttonous person who doesn't recycle his garbage. The killer will make him swallow plastic bottles.
And since the Vatican denounced genetic manipulation, another victim could be a scientist who hires a prostitute. The killer will make him ... well ... do something bad to himself.
The possibilities are infinite.
Get to work everybody!

Writing a 14een to se7en would be like what the crazy folks behind the scenes did to The Little Mermaid with all those sequels. Se7en was good; let's leave it alone. =o]

To be pedantic, the Church didn't actually add to the list of seven deadly sins, instead some guy in the vatican gave an interview where he answered the question:
In your opinion, what are the “new sins”?

with ...

“There are various areas today in which we adopt sinful behavior, as with individual and social rights. This is especially so in the field of bioethics where we cannot deny the existence of violations of fundamental rights of human nature - this occurs by way of experiments and genetic modifications, whose results we cannot easily predict or control. Another area, which indeed pertains to the social spectrum, is that of drug use, which weakens our minds and reduces our intelligence. As a result, many young people are left out of Church circles. Here’s another one: social and economic inequality, in the sense that the rich always seem to get richer, and the poor, poorer. This feeds off an unsustainable form of social injustice and is related to environmental issues -which currently have much relevant interest.”
Ref: http://conservativecolloquium.wordpress.com/2008/03/12/there-are-no-new-deadly-sins/

That's it. A journalist reformatted the answer and decided it would be more interesting if the answer was misrepresented as an update to church doctrine.

The result? The fraudulent list we all read in the media ...

Actually, I'm kind of curious of the theology about this. Let's say you were the first guy who committed sin X. Are you, theologically speaking, not guilty because it wasn't yet declared a sin?
