		The 12 astronomical constellations are uneven in size and do not between them cover the whole zodiac, or even the line of the ecliptic, much of which lies in the constellation of Ophiuchus.
		At first various asterisms were chosen along the zodiac to serve as calendar reference points, but as these were unequally spaced the zone was eventually divided into 12 equal signs, each 30° wide.
		Because of precession (the slow wobble of the Earth on its axis), the equinoctial point, and with it the zodiacal signs, moves westwards through the constellations at a rate of one sign in 2,150 years.

		But they've never quite given up their jones for the Zodiac -- because his case was never solved, his identity never revealed.
		It's not as gory or cynical as some of its cinematic predecessors -- the one that immediately comes to mind is a 1971 atrocity called The Zodiac Killer, in which the slavering murderer brained his victims with a rusty tire iron and worshipped at a homemade altar.
		When their killer sneaks up on a pair of teenagers in a remote lovers' lane and shoots them to death, it's an oddly unaffecting moment, despite the crescent moon overhead and the coldblooded mayhem on the ground.

		Zodiac will focus on the killer known by the same name, who was never caught despite a huge police investigation spanning more than a decade.
		It would be Fincher's first film since the Jodie Foster-starring thriller Panic Room four years ago, and would mark a return to the subject matter of Seven, in which a killer preyed on those who had succumbed to a variety of deadly sins.
		However it now seems more likely he will take on Zodiac as his slate is clear: the former was eventually made by Catherine Hardwicke and the latter was dropped by Warner Bros and Paramount.

		That meant filming outside The Chronicle, where Paul Avery (Downey) first received letters from the killer in the late 1960s, and Robert Graysmith (Gyllenhaal) was a staff member who became obsessed with the case.
		Still, despite all the big stars, multimillion-dollar budget and period detail, it is refreshing that the filming process drops everything and moves to get a shot during the magic hour -- the time, in the hour or so before sunset, that natural light provides the most photogenic moments.
		To speed up the process, Fincher is filming (that's still the technical term) most of his shots with two Viper cameras, meaning Savides has to light for two different setups at once.

	The Zodiac (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The Zodiac suggests failure to identify and catch the serial murderer lay in the personal faults of the fictitious Sgt. Parish, as much as in the cunning of the killer himself.
		At its most interesting, The Zodiac spins a tale of the consequences of homicide, painting a palpable and realistic-seeming portrait of a family and a community falling victim to the psychological terrorism of a serial killer.
		The Zodiac could be dismissed as merely gratuitous violence, given the graphic reenactment of several murders at the heart of the film.

	Zodiackiller.com Message Board
		In the case of the Ramirez film, the fact that he was a huge AC/DC fan had to be eliminated from the film for obvious reasons; the rights to use even 1 AC/DC tune would have consumed their entire budget, and they probably wouldn't have gotten permission even if they'd had the money.
		I think that means there are 4 films about the Zodiac either being produced and/or released this year, and you can bet that all four will be very different even though the intrinsic subject matter is the same.
		Set amid the case of the Zodiac Killer, a serial killer who terrorized Northern California in the late 1960s, "Control" follows a police detective and his son who both grow obsessed with the murders and endanger their family in the process.

	The DVD Pub reviews The Zodiac
		A cop, his wife, their little boy and a television news reporter are forced to deal with one of the most prolific and elusive serial killers in modern American history.
		While ‘The Zodiac’ (Which opens March 17 2006 in selected Theatres) is certainly a well made film on a technical level, it is continually hampered by a maddeningly muddled script and some pretty heavy posturing from lead actor Justin Chambers.
		This is the first of two films dealing with the murderous ways of the Zodiac Killer to be released this year (David Fincher’s ‘Zodiac’ hits in the Fall) but it does so little to scratch out any sort of watermark that its pole position almost seems moot.

	IGN: The Zodiac Review
		In case you're amongst the minority who never heard the tale, the Zodiac held the San Francisco Bay Area in a grip of terror in the late '60s and into the early '70s.
		He begins the film with stock archival footage of the era and while this is a pretty standard technique for a docu-drama, it still manages to set a creepy, unnerving tone for the picture.
		Bulkley revives the archival footage technique for the conclusion of the film, by which point it resonates with a clichéd ambiance.

	U-Entertainment - Bad signs for 'The Zodiac'
		The San Francisco Bay Area's unsolved Zodiac Killer case that began in the late 1960s has inspired many a gripping movie (the first "Dirty Harry," most significantly) and countless hours of mesmerizing television programming.
		The feature film debut of director Alexander Bulkley and his co-writer brother, Kelly, it's a barely serviceable police procedural that has a harder time locating persuasive drama than its detectives do tracking down their man.
		In his last missive to the media, Zodiac asked, "Who will make a movie about me," and indicated that it had better be a good one.

		Zodiac is set in Boston, and hero Sangamon Taylor (S. T.) ironically describes his hilarious exploits in the first person.
		His job of tracking down poisonous runoff and embarrassing the powerful corporations who caused them becomes more sticky than usual; run-ins with a gang of satanic rock fans, a deranged geneticist, and a mysterious PCB contamination that may or may not be man-made--plus a falling-out with his competent ("I adore stress") girlfriend--all complicate his mission.
		Zodiac is described on the cover blurb as an 'eco-thriller', and for a change the blurb is close to being accurate.

		The movie closes (and I hardly consider this a spoiler) with the Zodiac killer speculating, in another letter, about the inevitable film to be made concerning his deadly rampage.

	'Seven' director to film serial killer's life (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		London, Jan 21 (IANS): The director of the Brad Pitt movies "Seven" and "Fight Club" is in talks to film the story of a real-life serial killer who murdered at least 37 people in the San Francisco area in the 1960s and 1970s.
		Director David Fincher's "Zodiac" will focus on the eponymous killer, who was never caught despite a police investigation spanning more than a decade, reported The Guardian.
		"Zodiac", Fincher's first film in four years, is a return to the theme of "Seven", in which the killer's chosen victims were those who had succumbed to the Christian idea of the seven deadly sins.

		Both are unhinge and both have a beef with society and women in particular (though seeing as 'Zodiac' killed both sexes this highly played on angle of women hate seems rather pointless).
		A sequence near the end where 'Zodiac' visits his Father in a mental hospital slows the film down just at a time it should be briskly heading towards it's conclusion.
		So, like all the films on this 'Something Weird' DVD triple bill (with "The Sex killer" and "Zero in and Scream"), we have a very schizo movie.

		Director Alexander Bulkley, a Bay Area native who filmed the movie three years ago, is clearly trying to show the effect the murder had on the community, and his efforts aren't exploitative.
		But he writes and films the movie as if it's a conventional cop drama -- the type where the good guys struggle, battle drinking problems, spend all night at the office at the expense of their marriages and eventually get their man.
		Fans of Robert Graysmith's book, which the next Zodiac film is based on, will be disappointed that most of the characters he focused on are missing from this film -- and many of the names and places sound unfamiliar.
