directors cut of zodiac coming in



Director's cut of Zodiac coming in January.

Paramount Home Entertainment has announced they will be releasing a

two DVD director's cut of Zodiac on January 8th.

I must confess I am very interested in seeing this. I really have

mixed feelings about Zodiac. While I think the acting is top notch and

the film is very well directed, I felt more could have been done to

show us the impact of the killings on those involved. Gyllenhall's

character's obsession with the case costs him his wife and children as

well as his job. I would have liked to have seen them play around a

little more with how/why he became so fixated on this case.

We will get to see the film how David Filcher (Seven, Panic Room)

wanted it to be seen.

*Two commentary tracks, one by Director David Fincher and one with

Jake Gyllenhall, Robert Downey Jr., Producer Brad Fischer, James
