Earlier this year, I gave you the news that genre great William Forsythe was putting on the clown make-up to portray infamous psycho John Wayne Gacy in DEAR MR. GACY, which chronicles the true story of one Jason Moss, who began corresponding with Gacy in 1994, the last year of the killer’s life. Described as a real life SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, the project is based on Moss’ memoir “The Last Victim”.
Now there’s a teaser trailer for the flick, which looks suitably creepy. Check out the synopsis: A true story from the producer of Monster, this drama is based on the experiences of 18-year-old college student Jason Moss and his relationship with notorious serial killer John Wayne Gacy. Living at home with his parents in suburbia, attending college and dating his girlfriend, Jason lives a seemingly normal life. An overachiever, he’s always looking for a challenge and some new way to excel. As part of a school assignment, he sends a carefully crafted letter to John Gacy in prison, portraying himself as a vulnerable kid. Gacy, suspicious at first, puts Moss through harrowing emotional tests via phone and letters, before surrendering his trust to him. What follows is a twisted psychological game of cat and mouse between two master manipulators, in which Jason’s life is turned upside down and Gacy discovers new dimensions within himself. When Gacy invites Jason to visit him in prison for a private meeting, Jason accepts. Nobody, certainly not Jason, could have predicted what would unfold inside the maximum security cell. Jason’s book is called “The Last Victim” for a reason.
