Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Seven (1995): 2 lines

unmapped (R-rated proof) · through The Game (1997), which they were tied to as lead, attached to the early version: Seven ⇒ The Game (the host's read). Se7en's hit status as an R-rated film convinced the backers to fund The Game.
“I think convinced, um, people like, okay, like, you can make an R-rated movie a hit.”

unmapped (commercial lead-in) · through The Game (1997), which they were tied to as lead, attached to the early version: Seven ⇒ The Game (the host's read). Se7en's success gave Fincher an absurd budget for The Game.
“this is better for me because now I can make this movie at an absurd budget.”

A Christmas Carol (2009): 1 line

unmapped (template) · through The Game (1997), which they were tied to as lead, attached to the early version: A Christmas Carol ⇒ The Game (the maker said so: reading Fincher's quotes in the dossier JJ put together). Fincher's own framing, as quoted in the dossier, is that The Game is A Christmas Carol and Nick is Scrooge.
“it's a Christmas carol.”

Succession (2018): 1 line

unmapped (looks like) · through The Game (1997), which they were tied to as lead, attached to the early version: The Game ⇒ Succession (the host's read). Jokes that the opening home-movie footage is ripped off by Succession.
“ripped it right off”
