Actor Zac Efron has signed on to play Ted Bundy in a new independent movie on the life of the notorious 1970s serial killer, according to Variety.
The 29-year-old Efron is set to star in the film called "Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile."
Producer Nicholas Chartier told Variety he's been wanting to work with Efron for some time.
“From his dramatic turn in ‘Paperboy’ to his hilarious performance in ‘Neighbors,’ he continues to impress audiences and critics alike with his extraordinary versatility and range. We couldn’t be more excited to see him in this amazing role,” Chartier said.
No one knows exactly how many women the handsome and charismatic Bundy actually killed. Although he reportedly admitted to as many as 36 murders in seven states before he was put to death in Florida's electric chair in 1989, the exact number is unknown.
Filming on the new movie is scheduled to begin in October.
