Director: Svetozar Ristovski. Review: Adam Wing. Also known as Dear Mr. Gacy, Svetozar Ristovski’s (Mirage) worthwhile drama chronicles the life of serial killer John Wayne Gacy, Jr. Also known as the Killer Clown, he committed the rape and murder of 33 teenage boys and young men between 1972 and 1978. Twenty-six of Gacy's victims were buried in his home; three on his property and four were discarded in a nearby river. Gacy became known as the "Killer Clown" due to his services at fundraising events, parades and children's parties where he would dress as "Pogo the Clown," a character he created himself. Jason Michael Moss was an American writer on serial killers. While studying at Unlv for his honours thesis, he established relationships with John Wayne Gacy, Richard Ramirez, Henry Lee Lucas, Jeffrey Dahmer, and Charles Manson. Moss later said that, of all the serial killers he corresponded with, he formed the...

We haven't heard much lately about Dear Mr. Gacy, the film adaptation of The Last Victim, the memoirs of Jason Moss, who corresponded with serial killer John Wayne Gacy; but today brought forth a bonanza of information, including a teaser, a clip, and the chance for members of the Dread Central community to ask star William Forsythe any questions they might have regarding the new film and/or his portrayal of Gacy.

Currently Dear Mr. Gacy producer Clark Peterson is focusing on the social promotion aspect for the film, which is due out next year. An official site was recently launched, and in addition Forsythe will be doing a video shoot in the Chicago area next Monday and Tuesday, December 14 and 15, 2009. The actor will be talking to several of Gacy's old acquaintances and his defense attorney, as well as detectives that were on the famous case, which celebrates its 30th anniversary next year.

"Monster" producer Clark Peterson is tracking down another serial killer. Peterson will produce "Dear Mr. Gacy," based on the real-life story of Jason Moss, a college student who became obsessed with notorious serial killer John Wayne Gacy.

The Innovative Artists-repped William Forsythe ("The Rock," "88 Minutes") will play Gacy, while Jesse Moss, who stars in Paramount's current release "The Uninvited," will play the role of Jason Moss.

European director Svetozar Ristovski ("Mirage") will make his English-language debut with the feature, directing from a script by Kellie Madison. Gordon Yang is also producing, while Tom Berry and Madison are exec producing.

The project is based on the memoir "The Last Victim" by Jason Moss, who began corresponding with Gacy in 1994, the last year of the killer's life. Moss eventually met Gacy on Death Row and even narrowly escaped an attack by him.

The real-life story of Jason Moss, a college student who became obsessed with notorious serial killer John Wayne Gacy, is coming to the screen from Monster producer Clark Peterson.

Word came down via THR this morning that Monster producer Clark Peterson is returning to the world of serial killers with Dear Mr. Gacy. The film will be an adaptation of The Last Victim, the memoirs of Jason Moss, who corresponded with serial killer John Wayne Gacy during the last year of the killer’s life and narrowly avoided being killed himself.

William Forsythe will star as Gacy, while The Uninvited lead Jesse Moss will take on the role of Jason Moss. Mirage director Svetozar Ristovski is making his English-language debut with the film, which starts shooting in Vancouver later this month.

It’ll be interesting to see a true-crime movie with such a well-known lead taking on the role of the clown-faced killer; hopefully this will lead to bigger and better things for Forsythe. Peterson is also producing the long discussed remake of Scanners, which currently has David Goyer on board as writer.

Picture This! Entertainment has acquired North American rights to Svetozar Ristovski's Mirage (Iluzija) from Small Moves Ltd. Based on an original screenplay by Ristovski and Grace Lea Troje, the film tells the story of a young boy (Marko Kovacevic) in post-Balkan War Macedonia. The deal was negotiated by Douglas Witkins for Picture This! and Nathan Tichenor of Crescent Releasing on behalf of Small Moves.
