Zac Efron is “More Popular Than Disney World” as Ted Bundy in Trailer for EXTREMELY WICKED, SHOCKINGLY EVIL AND VILE

Part of the reason infamous serial killer Ted Bundy continues to be a source of fascination among true crime buffs is that he simply didn’t seem like the type of person to commit the atrocities he was accused (and convicted) of. Those closest to Bundy, his friends and lovers, were stunned, even as stacks of evidence mounted against him.

We’re given this insider’s perspective in the upcoming Bundy biopic, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile; the film will take place from the point-of-view of the murderer’s then-girlfriend, a woman who simply couldn’t wrap her mind around Bundy’s crimes. Today, we’re getting our first look at the film’s trailer which features Zac Efron as Ted Bundy—and the resemblance is uncanny.

Give the trailer a spin at the top of the article; read the synopsis below.

Synopsis:
