Hollywood heartthrob Zac Efron has signed up for a role like we’ve never seen from him before.
Zac Efron has signed on to play Ted Bundy, one of America’s most notorious serial killers in the film Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile.
The thriller will chronicle the crimes of Ted Bundy from the perspective of Elizabeth Kloepfer, his longtime girlfriend, who refused to believe the truth about him for years. In the end, Kloepfer was the one to turn Bundy into the police. Bundy was executed by the electric chair after he confessed to killing thirty women.
Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker Joe Berlinger will be directing the film that was written by Michael Werwie. Michael Costigan, the film’s producer, told Deadline that he thinks Efron is perfect for the role.
“Zac is perfect casting, as he can play both the depth and the charm that this guy had in equal measures, and which allowed him to manipulate these women in such a terrifying way.”
The role of Liz is yet to be cast, but there are reports of filming starting in late 2017.
