Zodiac (New David Fincher Film)

[Otha Star]

After Se7en, the Game, and Fight Club, I was ready to anoint Fincher as the next great filmmaking god. Panic Room came out and really let me down. Not to say that it was bad, but it just wasn't in the same stratosphere.

Now I read that Fincher has signed on to make a movie about the Zodiac killer. This is really harsh subject matter as the murders were very brutal, and this is not fictional like Se7en was. Throw in the fact that the killer was never captured, and you have a formula for a very unsettling movie.
Quote from a letter sent to the newspaper from the killer "ONLY ONE THING WAS ON MY MIND. MAKING HER PAY FOR ALL THE BRUSH OFFS THAT SHE HAD GIVEN ME DURING THE YEARS PRIOR. SHE DIED HARD. SHE SQUIRMED AND SHOOK AS I CHOCKED HER, AND HER LIPS TWICHED. SHE LET OUT A SCREAM ONCE AND I KICKED HER IN THE HEAD TO SHUT HER UP. I PLUNGED THE KNIFE INTO HER AND IT BROKE. I THEN FINISHED THE JOB BY CUTTING HER THROAT. I AM NOT SICK. I AM INSANE. BUT THAT WILL NOT STOP THE GAME."



I guess it's OK for me to start getting exited now.

Here is an early poster (looks like fan art to me ) Also found a short making-of article. You can read it here

Yeah, I think that's fanmade teaser poster. There's no name of cinematographer here and... I don't know.. I haven't seen on any poster sentence - "this movie is not yet rated". Maybe I'm wrong?

killer hasn't been captured...hmmm...i like it already, I love movies where the bad guy wins/gets away

Fincher is by far my favorite director, any word on who's writing this?

[michalz00]

Robert Graysmith (books)
James Vanderbilt (screenplay) he wrote Darkness Falls, Basic, The Rundown.

I saw it on the main page and got so exited that the Zodiac trailer was finally out. When I opened it I was majorly deflated.

I hate it when news of a project gets out and every hack director races to make the same film and be the first to release it. What's weird about this is I saw a documentary about Zodiac at the video store a few months ago as well. It's strange the amount of interest in this suddenly.

there is a version already made and due out for release this month and Fincher is making his version... go figure!!

Well I hope this one won't create any bad opinions for Fincher's great film.
