Netflix has released the trailer for Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, the Joe Berlinger-directed pic about Ted Bundy that stars Zac Efron as the serial killer. The film, penned by Michael Werwie, takes on the Bundy story from the perspective of his girlfriend Liz Kendall (Lily Collins), who refused to believe the truth about him for years.

Kaya Scodelario, Jeffrey Donovan, Angela Sarafyan, Dylan Baker, Brian Geraghty, Terry Kinney, Haley Joel Osment, James Hetfield Grace, Victoria Cox, Jim Parsons and John Malkovich also star in the mass murderer chronicle, which is based on Kendall’s memoir The Phantom Prince: My Life with Ted Bundy.

Netflix unveiled a new trailer for “Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile,” the Ted Bundy biopic starring Zac Efron, on Tuesday and announced a release of May 3 for when the film will be available on the streamer and in select theaters.
After begging thirsty people on Twitter to stop calling Ted Bundy “hot,” Netflix has further scaled back some of the snappy, light-hearted tone of the original trailer, which was released ahead of its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.
“This is all going to end,” Efron’s Bundy says solemnly in the trailer. “It’s all going to end with the truth,” Lily Collins replies to him during prison visit.

Zac Efron did not—we repeat, did not—go to the Oscars with a sober coach. A report today falsely claimed that the actor needed a companion with him to make sure he didn't fall off the wagon.

Hitting at the end of January 2014, That Awkward Moment is an awkward comedy aimed at that special moment in relationships when you just can’t dodge trying to figure out where you’re headed anymore. Apparently aimed at the decidedly young, and easily amused, the film has some new character posters, though I’m not absolutely sure what sense they make from the film’s perspective.
At any rate, take a look and see what Zac Efron and the rest of the crew are potentially embarrassed about.
