" My Friend Dahmer is, at its heart, a story about failure," he told Vulture back in April. Could someone have stopped him from doing what he did? Shouldn't have someone, anyone, noticed that something wasn't quite right? In Backderf's opinion, the answer is yes. The trailer plays that up with every second, giving us new answers about Dahmer's young life that only lead to more questions. In the trailer, after his doctor tells him he's fine, Dahmer asks, "What about what's on a patient's mind?"ĭahmer's backstory is like a ticking time bomb since we know that he committed his first murder only three weeks after graduating high school. "I see things in you that I don't like about myself," he tells his son, later asking him to "be more normal."ĭahmer was a disturbed kid who supposedly drank to forget the questionable thoughts he had in his mind - thoughts that everyone around him seemed to ignore. He had a mom (Anne Heche) who struggled with her own mental illness and a dad (Dallas Roberts) who wasn't sure how to handle it, which made him tough on his son. He was a shy kid who was bullied by his fellow classmates. There's also moments in the trailer that suggest Dahmer wasn't much different than the average teenager. But Backderf, played by The Naked Brothers Band star Alex Wolff, simply says, "I think he's kind of hilarious." "Jeff's a little off," one of Dahmer's classmates says in the trailer after Dahmer has a "spaz" attack in the middle of the hallway. He's fixated on dead animals, explaining that he "likes bones," for one. In the trailer there are little clues that Dahmer wasn't like the other boys. He does this by taking a closer look back at Dahmer, played by Disney Channel star and R5 member Ross Lynch, and his behavior during senior year, which at the time maybe didn't seem so weird. It's Backderf's attempt at making sense of how his high school friend could eventually go on to gruesomely kill 17 people. The coming of age film looks at how Jeffrey Dahmer becomes the Jeffrey Dahmer, and explores what his formative years were like. My Friend Dahmer paints a portrait of Dahmer before he was a serial killer that shows he wasn't always a monster but actually was a real person, a fact that is easy to forget all these years later. Of course, those watching the movie probably already know what Backderf's friend Dahmer becomes, but the movie asks you to put that aside - if only for a moment. ![]() The movie is based on John "Derf" Backderf's 2012 graphic novel of the same name who remembers what it was like growing up in Ohio with Dahmer back in 1978 when he was just a teenager, and not the infamous cannibalistic serial killer he would become known as to the world. ![]() Baker Co-producer, Unit Production Manager William K.The world gets to see a different side of Jeffrey Dahmer in the new My Friend Dahmer trailer. ![]() Bowles Jack DeVillers Oliver Zlatka Gaby Novogratz Lisa Watkins Miles Robbins Lloyd Figg Crew Marc Meyers Director, Producer, Screenwriter Adam Goldworm Producer Andrew Hollander Composer (Music Score) Andrew Shepherd First Assistant Director Carla Shivener Costume Designer Daniel Katz Cinematographer Derf Backderf Book Author Ed McWilliams Co-Executive Producer Gabriela Novogratz Associate Producer Giorgio Angelini Executive Producer Jamie Kirkpatrick Editor Jennifer Klide Production Designer Jody Girgenti Producer John Novogratz Co-Executive Producer Jonathan Leahy Musical Direction/Supervision Marc Meyers Director, Producer, Screenwriter Marc Meyers Director, Producer, Screenwriter Michael Novogratz Executive Producer Milan Chakraborty Producer Stephanie Holbrook Casting Tami Kumin Second Assistant Director William K. ![]() Burlman Brady Dunn Bossy Michael Ryan Shorty Liam Koeth Dave Dahmer Tommy Nelson Neil Harrison Holzer Mike Cameron McKendry Moose Jake Ingrassia Gooch Benjamin Zgorecki Bully Jock Kris Smith Ms. Matthews Alex Wolff Derf Zac Brown Freshman Boy Lily Kozub Freshman Girl Adam Kroloff Mr. Cast Ross Lynch Jeffrey Dahmer Anne Heche Joyce Dahmer Dallas Roberts Lione Vincent Kartheiser Dr.
