On Tuesday, 3.28, I wrote an item about having been told that David Fincher's Zodiac (Paramount, 9/22) had been retitled as Chronicles, but I also quoted a Paramount spokesperson who said "we have the rights" to use the word "Zodiac" as a movie title, which led to my observation that the rumor sounded "a tad questionable" so "don't take this one to the bank just yet." The next day (Wednesday, 3.29) I wrote that Fincher's Zodiac "is absolutely going to be called that" and that Chronicles "is just what it was called during casting and shooting, apparently ...as a ruse." And now, some three or four business days later, there's a story by Variety's Pamela McLintock debunking the Chronicles rumor and citing an "internet rumor" as the source of said erroneous notion.
