When you think of San Diego Comic-Con, cannibal serial killers aren’t usually the first thing that pops into your head so when we heard the film My Friend Dahmer would be having its premiere there this year, we couldn’t quite wrap our heads around it. But things went off without a hitch, and we even got a new trailer and poster out of the deal!
Read on to see them both and learn more about this latest graphic novel adaptation.
From the Press Release:
Following its premiere at SDCC 2017, the teaser trailer for MY FRIEND DAHMER is now available courtesy of FilmRise.
Jeffrey Dahmer murdered 17 men and boys in the Midwest United States between 1978 and 1991 before being captured and incarcerated. He would become one of America’s most infamous serial killers. This is the story before that story…
Jeff Dahmer (Disney Channel’s Ross Lynch) is an awkward teenager struggling to make it through high school with a family life in ruins. He collects roadkill, fixates on a neighborhood jogger (Vincent Kartheiser, “Mad Men”), and copes with his unstable mother (Anne Heche) and well-intentioned father (Dallas Roberts). He begins to act out at school, and his goofball antics win over a group of band-nerds who form The Dahmer Fan Club, headed by Derf Backderf (Alex Wolff, Nickelodeon’s “The Naked Brothers Band”). But this camaraderie can’t mask his growing depravity. Approaching graduation, Jeff spirals further out of control, inching ever closer to madness.
Marc Meyers’ MY FRIEND DAHMER is the haunting, sad, funny, true story of Jeffrey Dahmer in high school, based on Derf Backderf’s critically acclaimed 2012 graphic novel of the same name and Meyers’ own 2014 Black List script.
