Zodiac is a 2007 American crime thriller film directed by David Fincher. The film tells the story of the hunt for the Zodiac Killer, a serial murderer who scared the San Francisco Bay Area during the late 1960s and early 1970s, taunting police with letters, bloodstained clothing, and mail to newspapers. The case remains one of the United States’ most infamous unsolved crimes. Fincher, Vanderbilt, and producer Bradley J. Fischer spent 18 months conducting their own investigation and research into the Zodiac murders. Fincher employed the digital Thomson Viper FilmStream Camera to photograph most of the film and used traditional high-speed film cameras for slow-motion murder sequences.
