What is He Went That Way about?

“Set in 1964, the film is a taut thriller based on a true crime story that puts a wicked spin on the buddy road trip film,” reads the synopsis. “The film follows 19-year-old serial killer Bobby as he is picked up by a celebrity animal handler, Jim, on a desolate stretch of Route 66 with priceless cargo in tow: Jim’s chimpanzee, Spanky, an American TV darling. As stress between Bobby and Jim rises and their fiery personalities combust, the road only becomes more treacherous the farther they go.”

He Went That Way was directed by Australian filmmaker Jeffrey Darling in his feature-length directorial debut. Unfortunately, this film also serves as his last after passing away at the age of 60 in March 2022, due to a surfing accident in Sydney. Written by Evan M. Wiener, the film is based on the true story of celebrity animal trainer Dave Pitts. Joining Elordi are Zachary Quinto, Patrick J. Adams, Troy Evans, Alexandra Doke, Erin Moore, Nicolette Doke, and more.
