Dread Central broke the news today that the San Francisco Chronicle scored the first stills from David Fincher’s upcoming film based on the real-life Zodiac murders, cleverly titled ZODIAC, which started filming last month.
For those of you who don’t know about the Zodiac killer, The Crime Library can fill you in on the details right here.
Based on the Robert Graysmith book of the same name, ZODIAC is about the notorious serial killer who haunted San Francisco during the 1970’s. Leaving a series of puzzling clues and letters on the trail, he was never officially caught while leaving several victims in his wake. The film, which stars Robert Downey Jr. and Jake Gyllenhaal, is set for release next year.
