Awakening the Zodiac is a Canadian thriller film directed by Jonathan Wright and starring Shane West, Leslie Bibb, Matt Craven, and Stephen McHattie.
Mick and Zoe, a young destitute couple hope to change their fortune when they partner with paranoid, gun-toting, Gulf War veteran, Harvey on a deserted storage locker. The locker’s contents appear to be worthless until Harvey makes a discovery deep inside a piece of furniture: an old 8mm film reel.
Curious, they load it into a projector and watch something that will change their lives forever. The forty-year-old footage depicts two gruesome murders taken by the killer himself. Harvey has a strange feeling and realizes two things: Those were murders of the savage Zodiac Killer, the most elusive serial killer in history, and there is a reward of $100,000 for any information leading to his capture. Zodiac is out there, and he’s still killing.
In an interview with 28DLA, screenwriter Michael Horrigan talked about the research he did for the film. “Awakening the Zodiac was highly influenced by my research of Zodiac suspect, Rick Marshall. He worked as a projectionist in San Francisco during the ’70s. That got me thinking and I started to imagine what it would be like if Marshall was truly the Zodiac Killer, then I wondered if he would’ve attempted to film some of his murders. That’s how I came up with the concept for Awakening the Zodiac and that was the hook, what if the Zodiac Killer really did film some of his murders and decades later someone else stumbled across them; just imagine if that someone was you.”
Awakening the Zodiac is rated 14A.
