Fright Night

Zodiac's Cinema Society Premiere

Bono, Patricia Clarkson, and Petra Nemcova turned out for Wednesday night's Cinema Society screening of the crime thriller Zodiac, a true-life account of the eerie murders that terrorized San Francisco in the late sixties and seventies. The film, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Mark Ruffalo, elicited audience-wide gasps during some of the more gripping scenes, but the presence in the theater of Robert Graysmith—the model for Gyllenhaal's character—assured guests that Jake, at least, would come out all right.

The party continued at the Soho Grand, where Gyllenhaal claimed a corner of the bar with Willem Dafoe and Tim Robbins, who was looking comfy in a Pink Floyd T-shirt. "I've never seen them in concert," he explained. "But my son has." When a large piece of cutlery smashed to bits by the buffet table, a mock-aghast Bettina Zilkha exclaimed, "It's the ghost of the Zodiac killer!"
