ZODIAC Director's Cut on Blu-ray

Based on the true story of the notorious serial killer and the intense manhunt he inspired, ZODIAC, from Paramount Home Ent., is a superbly crafted thriller form the director of SE7EN and PANIC ROOM. Featuring an outstanding ensemble cast led by Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo and Chloe Sevigny, ZODIAC is a searing and singularly haunting examination of twin obsessions: one man's desire to kill and another's quest for the truth.

A 2007 theatrical release, ZODIAC features vfx by Digital Domain, Mar Vista Ventures, Matte World Digital and Ollin Studio.

Matte World Digital and visual effects supervisor Craig Barron were called in to create more than 40 establishing shots of San Francisco as it looked during that tumultuous era. Several of these shots, including flyovers, required building complete 3D environments. Parallel to this effort, Digital Domain was asked to focus on the exact recreation of the actual murders. The team was led by visual effects supervisor Eric Barba, vfx producer Lisa Beroud, CG supervisor Karl Denham, compositing supervisor Janelle Croshaw and matte painting supervisor Wei Zheng.

"We had to reproduce very precisely the way the killings occurred, and the environments in which they took place," Barba says. "We did more than 100 shots, but most of them will go unnoticed by the viewers. The bulk of our work, in terms of man-hours, involved set extensions. We recreated specific areas in San Francisco as they looked [at that time]. David was very adamant that everything looked exactly as it was at the time the murders occurred. He wanted to shoot his movie as if a camera had really been there. To start with, he decided that, whenever possible, we would shoot the plates at the actual location of each murder. Obviously, the environments had changed quite a bit in the last 35 years, so that's where we came in, to digitally bring them back to their original state."
