Not quite sure why this trailer bugs me so much but it does.  Probably because it's based on that actual scum bag JOHN WAYNE GACY who managed to kill a slew of young boys a while back.  I'm sure you remember him.

There have been a few GACY films that depicted the life and times of this killing clown but DEAR MR. GACY kind of takes a different swing.  Here what I know about the project and the trailer is at the bottom.

DEAR MR. GACY tells the true story of Jason Moss who back in 1994 started writing to GACY in prison.  '94 was the last year of GACY'S life.  Moss wrote a book about his time with GACY titled THE LAST VICTIM from which the film is based.

Here's 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 physcological 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.
