According to Variety http://www.variety.com/index.asp?layout ... 16601&cs=1
David Fincher director of Seven and Fight Club is in negotiations w/ Warner Bros. to helm Zodiac.The story would center around three people who sought to bring the killer who commited at least 37 murders in San Francisco to justice.

The Zodiac was an interesting case. I assume this is to be based on the widely circulated best seller from god knows how many years ago. I think they went so far as to speculate his identity, but I read somewhere that DNA has thus far crossed any of the major suspects off the list.

There are defiantely aspects about this case that will make for an above average serial killer movie if they choose to go that route. And it looks like they will with that director attachment. Hopefully it will have a touch of class. And it's about time too.

I was getting so sick of all of these almost "serial killer trading card" styled straight to video movies: Gacy, Gein, Dahmer, Bundy. Give me a Kemper move or shut the fuck up.

i agree i liked the old dahmer one
but the new one sucks
the only ones i like out of that series are gein and bundy

but i'd love to see a kemper one
or chikatillo (spelling) or albert phish
for that matter

Hmmm... I may have to give Gein a day in court. Another friend said it was pretty good, so that's two positive recs.

HBO did a good Chikatelo flick. Focused more on the detectives than the killer, so very little if any gore. But, it was a good movie. Citizen X I think.

No director has the balls to touch an Albert Fish (or a Kepmer)movie with a 10 foot pole...But I'd go see it if they did! Twisted fucks they were...

It was Citizen X,I got the vhs version and the book it takes it's facts from.Both are very good.I didn't like the Dahmer,Gein,Hillside series, too much horrible acting, bad dialogue, and anti-climatic endings.

The only movies based on real cases I enjoy are Citizen X,Helter Skelter(for some reason that flick just cracks me up,yeah I know people died to make that,ha,ha motherfucker)and the Boston Strangler(w/Henry Fonda and Tony Curtis) by Richard Fleischer who if I may plug did the underrated See No Evil w/ Mia Farrow(think it came out before Rosemary).

i remember seeing pieces of citzen x
but i can't remember if i liked it or not
maybe i should check it out again

but your probably right about kemper and phish
though even if someone did take the projects on
i bet they would get watered down horibbly

Yessss. My second favorite serial killer :twisted:

Hope they do the story justice and don't fuck it up like so many other serial killer movies.

I'm excited to see a movie about the Zodiac.If they don't fuck it up too much then it could be the best serial killer movie yet.I also once did a report on him for a criminal justice class,so he's come to be one of my favorites.I'll just keep my fingers crossed and hope this one doesn't suck too badly.
