Fincher lines up a Sagittarius, an Aries and a Scorpio for ZODIAC!!!

Hey folks, Harry here... Variety announced today that David Fincher has cast 3 of his lead characters in ZODIAC - the serial killer investigation flick - which ultimately has no true ending, given the killer has never been caught or convicted - yet it is possible he is quite known. The Zodiac killings in San Francisco is one of the longest runs by a serial killer - and most notable by the fact that he's never been caught, though the killings have stopped. Jake Gyllenhaal has been cast as the newspaper cartoonist that was tracking and tracing the crimes - and who believed he'd found the man responsible - only to find his findings to be ignored. Robert Downey Junior will be playing a reporter covering the case and Mark Ruffalo the lead investigator on the Zodiac case... This case was the basis for the original SCORPIO killer in the original DIRTY HARRY that made all of our days.

This is all based upon Robert Graysmith's two novels: ZODIAC and ZODIAC UNMASKED: THE IDENTITY OF AMERICA'S MOST ELUSIVE SERIAL KILLER REVEALED. This is easily one of my most anticipated projects that I absolutely believe will be great. Hell, I'm just glad to see Fincher going at it again.
