Efron will star as Ted Bundy in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, which will be helmed by Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker Joe Berlinger (Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory).

So serial killers are the new "get me away from my Disney stigma" acting job?

Sweet. I was hoping Efron would do something to break out of all these comedies. Hopefully he does well and can widen his range.

I've watched enough docs and listened to enough podcasts to know he's a perfect fit for Ted Bundy

What makes you say this? I'm hoping he can develop some chops. I also thought JT was great in Alpha Dog.

I get this, but it's been 40 years and Bundy is definitely one interesting dude.

They have already given Efron about 5 chances to do non comedies and each one has been a financial and/or critical failure.

Bundy had sex with fleshy skulls and various corpse parts for weeks. Most think he ate flesh as well. He ejaculated in his pants mid murder. He became so compulsive/ frantic that by the end he couldn't function if he was not murdering. Not sure we should really want to humanize that guy, or give him any more attention, even in death.

I thought it was interesting after they announced that Disney alum Ross Lynch is playing Jeffrey Dahmer. I now need Amanda Bynes to make a career comeback as Elizabeth Bathory to complete the circle.

Anything recent? I honestly can't remember anything. I do hope you are wrong about him. He seems like one of those guys that could be a major leading man one day.

Charlie St Cloud, some Nicholas Sparks movie, a movie where he was a dj that was a big box office bomb...there are a couple of others. He has been in some duds.

Exactly.

You have to understand that more millennials post here and they tend to like the gay friendly dudes like Efron and Nick Jonas. Those dudes can do no wrong. Choose kindness!

I'm sure Efron will do fine but I have less than zero interest in a Ted Bundy movie
