ROTTEN TOMATOES: Fincher's "Zodiac" Says "Delayed Till January"

Fincher's "Zodiac" Says "Delayed Till January"

by Scott Weinberg | June 13, 2006

I look forward to a new David Fincher movie like little children look forward to Christmas morning, so this recent report out of JoBlo's has me just a little disappointed. Seems that Fincher's "Zodiac," which stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr., and Mark Ruffalo, has been bumped back to early 2007.

Says JB: "David Fincher's serial killer suspense flick ZODIAC has been pushed back from a fall date later this year to January 2007. What gives? Isn't January where bad movies go to die? ... Paramount didn't offer up an explanation to the move but since it never had a solid release date, they could easily just say there was no delay as its release was never set..."

So it's not really a delay, but more of a release date announcement. Either way, based on Fincher's previous work ("Alien 3," "Seven," "The Game," "Fight Club," and "Panic Room"), I can't wait to see the based-on-actual events crime thriller.

I'm in the same boat as most people, any movie with David Fincher attached to it is well worth seeing. (Except Lords of Dogtown, which he never should have bothered putting money into.)

Damn, the last thing I wanted to hear for this film was a delay. However, if thats what it takes to get it edited/etc. to the perfection that Fincher wants, I'll live with that. I'm also really praying that Howard Shore will come back on for this film. He's amazing.

Hmmm, well originally it was Sept. 22, then it was October 13, then Nov. 10. So if Paramount is saying there was no set release date, they are absolutely lying. Trying to put a positive spin on the latest move?
