What's Your Sign?

Based, of course, on the famous killer in the 1950s(?), Zodiac focuses on the man in charge of the investigation of Zodiac Killer. Possibly the United States' most prolific, twisted and perplexing serial murder case ever. The man taunted the police in his letters, telling them when and how he was going to kill next. He even gave them his name in a cypher, and told them to publish on the front page of the newspaper. Despite his seeming desire to get caught, his killing spree ended before he was discovered. At one point in time, a policeman even passed right by the killer after a murder, and failed to realize it was him, or remember anything about the man's features.

This is going to be an awesome movie for all those thriller/history/mystery buffs out there. It's got lots of appeal to a wide audience, and appears to be well done thus far. Check out the trailer on the official site.

EDIT: So, Zodiac opened today to a VERY limited audience. Check out the official list of theaters over at the official site, linked above.
