FilmRise will release “My Friend Dahmer,” based on former BJ artist
John Backderf’s graphic novel about the gay serial killer, into North American
theaters this autumn.
The movie created a stir at this year’s
Tribeca Film Festival.
Ross Lynch, a Disney Channel star, plays a
high-school age Jeffrey Dahmer, the serial killer from Summit County who was
Derf’s classmate. Anne Heche plays Joyce Dahmer, Jeffrey’s mentally unbalanced
mother. Vincent Kartheiser (“Mad Men”) is a doctor that Dahmer becomes obsessed
with. Alex Wolff (Nickelodeon’s “The Naked Brothers Band”) plays Backderf.
