Zac Efron’s Hotness Helps Him (Almost) Get Away With Murder In Extremely Wicked Trailer

It's been just over each year since we got that glimpse of Zac Efron as serial killer Ted Bundy, and our patience has finally paid off: the opening teaser trailer for Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile is here.


In the short preview, we visualize Efron use his good looks and charm to nearly get away with murder, just like the real kidnapper, rapist, and murderer who inspired the movie attempted to do in the '70s.


The story is told from the perspective of Liz Kloepfer, played by Lily Collins. Liz enters domestic bliss with charismatic Ted — up until the newspapers begin reporting that he's a cold-blooded killer. Evidence piles up, Ted is arrested, tried, and put in jail, but still, Liz can't don't think about his charismatic pull as Ted and his clear, blue eyes continue to sustain his innocence. Check out the teaser below.


True-crime documentarian Joe Berlinger helmed the film — which will celebrate its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on Saturday (January 26) — so it stands to reason that the film's story will pretty closely follow Bundy's real-life path, which saw him murder at least 30 ladies, escape from jail twice, and, eventually, on January 24, 1989, executed on death row.


Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile doesn't have a release date however, although if you're particularly curious about the sordid tale, Berlinger's documentary about the infamous criminal, Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, dropped on Netflix on the 30th anniversary of the killer's execution — however you could may not hope to watch it alone. You've been warned.
