Based on two non-fiction books by Robert Graysmith, Zodiac will center on the story of the infamous serial killer who terrorized the San Francisco bay area during the late 1960s and '70s. People have been fascinated by this true crime story for years, as the creepy gunman in an executioner's hood made people afraid to be alone on the streets during his horrible reign.
As part of his M.O., the Zodiac killer sent letters to the police, taunting them for their ineptitude. Additionally, he sent letters to newspapers and left other puzzling clues, including cryptograms. As he committed his 37 or more murders, the killer made sure that his story went on in perpetuity by documenting much of what he did, focusing particularly on the San Francisco Chronicle. The case remains unsolved to this day, but Graysmith, who was a Chronicle staff member at the time the murders were taking place, has investigated the case from the beginning and knows more about it than anyone save the killer himself.
David Fincher will direct the film adaptation, which will primarily focus on the reporters, police investigators and attorneys who became involved in the mystery. Jake Gyllenhaal will portray Graysmith, while Mark Ruffalo will play the man who was the lead investigator on the case. Other stars include Robert Downey Jr., whose character is a reporter, and Gary Oldman, who plays an attorney who himself received a Christmas letter from the killer that posited that there may be more deaths to come.
