"Extremely naughty, scandalously nasty, and vile" sees the former actor of "High School Musical" portray the serial killer
The director of Extremely nasty, incredibly bad and vile revealed why he chose Zac Efron to play the lead role in serial killer Ted Bundy.
Bundy admitted to killing 30 women between 1974 and 1978, but it is thought that the number of victims could be higher. He was sent to the electric chair in 1989.
The new film explores the story of the criminal through the personal narrative of his ex-fiancée Elizabeth Kloepfer. Talk to TMZ, director Joe Berlinger, said that Efron had been his first choice to represent the killer. "First of all, I would never have hired Zac to play the role if he was not a fantastic actor," he said.
He continued: "All the trade journals said it was a performance that changed his career, so, from an interim point of view, he deserved it. But Bundy acted by misleading his victims because he was handsome and charming. So who could better describe and embody this dynamic?
Lily Collins will join Efron in the film as Elizabeth, John Malkovich (Judge Edward Cowart), Haley Joel Osment (Inspector Jerry Thompson) and James Hetfield of Metallica, who makes his appearance as arresting officer Bob Hayward.
Extremely nasty, incredibly bad and vile was taken over by Netflix after its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival last month, while the streaming platform was paying $ 9 million for the film. No definitive release date has been announced yet, but a full theatrical release is expected this fall.
Meanwhile, a survivor of Bundy talked about the film, claiming that he "glorifies" the notorious murderer "more than he should be." Kathy Kleiner Rubin was attacked by Bundy at the age of 20.
"I do not have a problem with people watching it, as long as they understand that what they are looking at is not a normal person," she said. declared. "I believe that to show him exactly what he was, it's not really glorifying him, but showing him."
