First Look at Zac Efron as Ted Bundy in ‘Extremely Wicked’
Filming begins tomorrow on director Joe Berlinger’s Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile, which casts Zac Efron in the role of serial killer Ted Bundy.
The film is told from the point of view of Bundy’s former girlfriend Elizabeth Kloepfer, set during the multi-year period that Bundy hid his murder spree from her.
Via Efron himself on Twitter today comes our first look at Efron as Bundy, courtesy of a black and white photo with a simple caption: “Meet Ted,” wrote Efron.

Oscar nominee John Malkovich is the latest to join the cast of the Bundy film, which also stars Lily Collins as Bundy’s former girlfriend.
Malkovich will play Judge Edward Cowart, who presided over the serial killer’s 1979 trial, sentencing him to death.
Bundy was executed in 1989. Shortly before his execution, he confessed to 30 homicides committed in seven states between 1974 and 1978.
The original screenplay, written by Michael Werwie, won the Nicholl Fellowship first prize and was featured on the Black List.

SCREAMBOX Investigates UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Several Documentaries Streaming Right Now!
As someone who is obsessed with UFOS (or more recently known as UAPs) and the concept of extraterrestrials, I love a good documentary. Sightings have been on the rise since the 1940s, with the atomic bomb seemingly acting as a catalyst for new visitors. But what are these UFOs/UAPs? Is there an explanation or are they simply beyond our explanation? Why are they here? Who are they? How much do our governments know? The questions are endless and so are the documentaries that attempt to uncover the secrets behind decades of sightings and alleged confrontations.
Whether you’re a seasoned viewer or new to the rabbit hole, there’s always a handful of interesting documentaries to get your neurons firing and leave you with sleepless nights.
