The upcoming Zac Efron as Ted Bundy film EXTREMELY WICKED, SHOCKINGLY EVIL AND VILE from director Joe Berlinger will World Premiere at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival. And to get us ready for what is sure to be a controversial flick, today we have the movie's trailer for you to check out. It looks like it's taking a funky 70's-style approach to the story at hand and maybe that's an attempt to lighten the mood? I doubt it. But I still dig it.
70's style aside, the movie still looks to be pretty damn brutal as it seems to dig deep into Bundy and his arrest. On top of that, it seems Berlinger and Efron aren't afraid of showcasing the utter charm the notorious serial killer possessed. Check it out below and then let us know what you think!
Here's the synopsis for those of you who may have forgotten over the past few months:
Told through the perspective of Elizabeth Kloepfer, Bundy's longtime girlfriend who went years denying the accusations against Bundy, but ultimately turned him into the police. Only nearing his execution, when Bundy began talking about his extensive and heinous murders, did Kloepfer, and the rest of the world, learn the true scope of his numerous and grizzly murders.
EXTREMELY WICKED, SHOCKINGLY EVIL AND VILE is directed by Joe Berlinger (BLAIR WITCH 2: BOOK OF SHADOWS) from a script by Michael Werwie and stars John Malkovich, Lily Collins, Kaya Scodelario, Angela Sarafyan, Jeffrey Donovan, Jim Parsons, Metallica's James Hetfield, and Zac Efron (BAYWATCH) as Ted Bundy. Once again, the film will be holding its World Premiere at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival. Bring it on, I say!
