Zodiac trailer

Trailers either tell you nothing or they tell you too much, or they do both at the same time. Is this just-posted Zodiac trailer an exception? I've watched it three times. It gives you just enough of the Downey stuff, the Fincher-tude, the Gyllenhaal-ness, the Ruffalo-isms and the Brian Cox attitude to make you want more.

What a terrible choice of music that starts about a half way through the trailer. It went from being suspensful to something I'd expect to hear in a cop comedy film like Rush Hour or Starsky and Hutch.

Brokeback Zodiac starring Jake Ghylenhal. Nice lisp.

Horrible Rod Stewart Song. No suspense. Looks mediocre.

Yeah, I don't know how I feel about that trailer. I mean, I'm psyched for the movie, and I'm glad it doesn't give a whole lot away, but I was already psyched for the movie.

It feels a little muddled and the music doesn't really work -- I think the only reason that song is used is so they could end with the mildly ominous "mm-hmm hmm" part of the song. I get the feeling a better draft was started yesterday.

On the other hand, I'm just happy to see footage of the thing.

What, no 8000-word screed on why the suits at Paramount are going to hell for not releasing this in December?

You must be smoking some gooooooooood shit today, Jeffy.

Jeff,
Having read the script, can you comment on the recent criticism at AICN that "Zodiac" is too long and redundant? It's one of the very few criticisms I've heard on the film, but it does have me concerned. What makes the continuing investigation as depicted in the film interesting or fresh?

I think I'd rather rent Summer of Sam. Zodiac looks like an HBO movie desperately trying to be a theatrical film.

I wish people would shut up about the music and just enjoy the freaking trailer! it is damn good! it makes me want to see the movie even more! Isn't that the whole idea of trailers? I say bring it on. Is it still opening in March? is it normal to have a trailer out this early if it is really opening then? I want to see it now!!!

D.Z. cynically dismissing something. I'm shocked.

Odd trailer -- some great footage, but the way the song is cut in gives the whole thing an almost comedic slant. Still, I read Jamie Vanderbilt's script and loved it. Hopefully Fincher delivers.

Come on kids, the trailer is about atmosphere. That 70's Rod Stewart song is perfect: no, this isn't Silence of the Lambs, and it's not Seven, and it's not that made-for-TV movie about Ted Bundy that you watched last week. If this trailer made Zodiac look like the latest of the Hannibal Lecter knockoffs I wouldn't give it a second look. But judging from the cast (Goose, is that you?), the cinematography, and, yes, the music, this movie is more than just a whodunit. I'm with Jeff on this one - great trailer.

Except for the Brian Cox attitude. I could do without.

Does anyone else think it's weird that they chose "Panic Room" as one of the director credits to brag about ? I thought it was an OK movie, but wouldn't "Fight Club" peak the interest of more people ? They both seem about as (ir)relevant to this type of movie, I just assume "Fight Club" would have more of a following.

Awesome trailer though. It made me go from 'interested' to a 'definitie'... Whenever it comes out in the UK that is.

Not really. It was a hit; Fight Club wasn't.

Fight Club was a hit, too. Just on home video.

The trailer is pretty good, but it seems a little conventional and pedestrian for a Fincher movie. Maybe Seven and Fight Club set the bar too high. Not a criticism of the trailer (and certainly not the movie) per se, but it doesn't feel as much like a "Fincher" movie as I expected.

Interestingly, though, when I first watched the Windows Media version of the trailer, it didn't load smoothly, so while the soundtrack kept playing, the visuals came across as a series of stills. And they synched up pretty well. I was actually disappointed when I watched the Quicktime and it turned out to be more straightforward.

I liked the choice of music for the trailer. And it's Fincher, so I'll be there no matter what.

The music fits the period. But not the trailer. It's not going to prevent me from seeing it, though.Anything from the director of PAnic Room is alright by me.
