Hi ethan,
The San Francisco Zodiac killer would be an interesting subject for a film -- a mixture of depravity and intellectual cunning. That Gyllenhaal plays the author who claims to have unlocked the mystery behind the mind and identity of the killer seems to be consistent with Gyllenhaal's knack of doing true-to-life portrayals -- as in 'October Sky' and 'Jarhead'. But Zodiac strikes me as coming with an interesting twist.
I really am not concerned if Zodiac will be a box-office hit like BBM. I am more concerned that it would come out as good cinema. Having followed Gyllenhaal for a while, I have some intrinsic trust in his choice of roles, and I am somewhat confident that he will give his all to this new movie. I can only hope that the movie itself will not disappoint.
The last Ledger film I have seen is Casanova. It was delightful, but did not use Ledger to his full potential. I trust that we will see him in more and more interesting movies very soon.
I will follow the BBM cast closely in the coming years. They have won my respect, at the very least.
BBM attire for Holloween? That would be delicious!
