linkSounds like a potentially interesting role for Efron, and it could make for a good film too, awful title aside.

Hyped for this. The existing Ted Bundy film is absolute trash, and his story has potential to be really interesting if done right.

There's already too much fan worship of serial killers online, there are loads of girls on Tumblr that think Bundy and others are sexy, this casting is just going to enhance that stupid bullshit.
Anyway, he's really not a proven dramatic actor, so not sure whether he'll be any good.

Funny thing, a couple of years ago, I took an Adaptations in Film class and one of the projects was to create an fictional film adapted from real source material. So we had to write a up-to-12 page screenplay, find the locations, do the storyboards, schedule the shooting of the film, and cast the roles. My group did this very plot of the tale of an Ted Bundy told from the perspective of Elizabeth Kloepfer (based on a magazine article) and we cast Ben Wishaw as Ted Bundy.

Efron trying to go that serious acting cred I see. Lets hope this isn't a disaster.

The film is on Netflix now and I guess I could have started a new thread but........um, not worth it.
Efron is fine but despite what I expect will be some (undeserved) raves he's fairly pedestrian. Everything is external (tics, charm, ingratiating personality) and not much internal either projected or thought out in how to portray or present him. Narrative takes on a herky jerky tone with the timeline that plays as period dress up.......it's a big nothing really.
The Bundy Tapes was one of the saddest and most frighteningly insightful films on any serial killer (on Netflix), you don't have to go further ..... and Efron really doesn't go far enough.
(less than) 6/10
