NEWS: Zodiac Opens Today

CULTURE: Zodiac Opens Today

Get things straight: we are not the San Francisco Chronicle. We are the SuicideGirls Newswire and we will not be bullied by serial killers. In the interest of public safety, however, we are publishing a letter written over 30-years ago by the serial killer known as The Zodiac.



Apparently The Zodiac Killer is highly anticipating the release of his biopic, Zodiac, directed by SuicideGirls' fave David Fincher. The killer, who terrorized Northern California in the late 1960's and 70's, hasn't been too happy with other film iterations of his legacy. This time he seems to have teamed up with the Paramount online publicity department to get his message out there.



The brilliant film has award-worthy performances by Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey, Jr., and Mark Ruffalo. Gyllenhaal plays San Francisco Chronicle editorial cartoonist Robert Graysmith who comes closest to figuring out who the mysterious murderer is.



You can check out the official website for Zodiac, if you have the guts.

can't fucking wait!

fincher's a genius...

I smell Black Dahlia all over again....

2 hours and 40 minutes long...be prepared.

I was at the press pre-screen in my city.

It was not nearly as good as I had hoped.

Movie Opens on a Friday.

Film at 11.

i'm going to see this tonight, i have been desperately waiting for this fim from the moment i heard it was happening

I ruin most of these movies by reading the actual historical facts about the person. Serial Killers have always peaked my interest, along with most historical battles in pretty much any war. So when i go to see the movie, i end up picking apart it's inaccuracies.

I have since then learned to just watch the movie for the movie, and just assume it's someone else's interpretation of what actually happened.

I will probably go see this.

I'd like to see his astrological chart.

I really want to see this.

This is in my top 3 list of movies to see over spring break, along with 300 (at IMAX) and Black Snake Moan.

I think killers who were never caught are much more interesting and the mathematic basis of Zodiac's crimes makes him much more interesting.

I saw it tonight. An enjoyable movie, but it didn't really feel like a Fincher movie. I imagine those expecting that will be a little disapointed. But I did enjoy it, like I said.

I really want to see this...but I have a feeling it won't meet my expectations at all knowing what I know about the Zodiac killer.

This statement is funny on so many levels.

I worked on this film! hooray!

I just saw it tonight. I didn't know a lot about the Zodiac killer going in so there wasn't much to ruin. I enjoyed it although it felt a bit draggier than Fincher's other stuff. The first half I found very tense and creepy. The second half started to lose my attention.

The lake berryessa murder is a brilliant set piece (and a very disturbing one).

I think the Zodiac's Chart would be pretty straight forward.
"Mars is going to cross the constilation of Vergo, You're Fuckin' Dead!".

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first ten minutes (the first two victims) deserve to be seen in a theatre.

It's piqued, not peaked.

Awesome. Just an all-around awesome film.
