Zodiac "Coming Soon"


"Coming soon" from Paramount Pictures, but not too soon. We're actually looking at mid-January, frankly. So, you know, we don't have to spend $500,000 on a platform opening in December that could conceivably land the film on a few ten-best lists...you never know..and maybe result in a possible Best Supporting Actor nomination for Robert Downey, Jr. We realize that three months down the road -- over a quarter of a year -- isn't anyone's idea of "soon" but we're a big movie studio and we have our own ways of defining things.

A Best Supporting Actor nod and a few top 10 lists does nothing for business.

The director of Panic Room credit does no good. I love Se7en, but Panic Room?! "Yeah, I had something to do with this Jodie Foster vehicle."

Why not "...from the director of Fight Club..."?

Nice design. Any one know what the poster will look like?

Maybe it's just not that great. Were "The Game" and "Panic Room" really all that memorable? Could be more of the same...

"Panic Room" was a big dissapointment, pretty mundane. I didn't hate it, but it was so generic.
