There are definitely a lot of Zodiac lovers here. The David Fincher-directed film has been dubbed “one of the greatest films of our generation.” The film is a mystery thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo, and Robert Downey Jr.
Many movie buffs are aware that making such a high-quality film necessitates a great level of dedication and hard work. Zodiac is without a doubt one of Robert Downey Jr’s most astonishing performances of all time, and one that he would be proud of. But, as you may know, the actor’s trip while filming the film was not all roses.
Those who are fans of David Fincher’s work are well aware of his desire for perfection. While this trait is necessary for producing a successful result, the cast of the film was not pleased with his approach. Fincher is said to have required up to 70 takes or more for some scenes to be considered excellent. This is the same reason that enraged Robert Downey Jr.
Robert Downey Jr. was absolutely exhausted, according to the director, who was annoyed by lengthy hours of labor. The actor also left jars filled with pee around the set as a protest for the same reason. In Keanu Reeves’ documentary about filmmaking, ‘Side By Side,’ Fincher discussed the same topic which was quite strange and some people did not like this type of protest.
Meanwhile, according to Box Office Mojo, Zodiac grossed $85 million at the box office. It simply recouped its investment and profited for all parties concerned.
