WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

    Based on the true story of the notorious serial killer and the intense manhunt he inspired, Zodiac is a superbly crafted thriller from the director of Se7en and Panic Room. Featuring an outstanding cast led by Jaske Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo and Chloe Sevigny, Zodiac is a searing and singularly haunting examination of twin obsessions: one man's desire to kill and another's quest for the truth.

TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This movie is based on the book of the same name by Robert Graysmith, who is also the main character in this movie, played by Jake Gyllenhaal.
• Then aspiring screenwriter Shane Salemo who would go on to write films like Armageddon and the remake of Shaft, optioned the book rights from Robert Graysmith when he was only 19 years-old. Although he wrote several working drafts he ended up selling only the rights to Touchstone reportedly for over a million dollars. Touchstone then attempted to adapt the book, but after several failed drafts they too scrapped the project, and the film fell by the wayside until being picked up again by David Fincher and James Vanderbilt. The film was finally released in 2007, over 16 years after the book was first optioned.
• Although mentioned in the plot synopsis as one of the leads, Chloe Sevigny failed to receive a "box credit" for her work in this film.
• In a real example of "life imitates art, imitates life", the character Mark Ruffalo is playing in this film, David Toschi along with the rest of the characters in this movie are real people, however it is said that David Toschi was the inspiration for Steve McQueen's character in the film Bullitt.
