Zac Efron won us over thanks to many comedic roles he played over the years, but the former Disney star is exploring uncharted territory with his next movie.
A new trailer dropped just in time for the world premiere of this biopic at Sundance Film Festival. This promising project puts a twist on Bundy’s story by telling it from the point of view of his girlfriend Elizabeth Kloepfer, who struggles to accept his sinister nature.
Efron had to undergo a dramatic transformation to prepare for the role of Ted Bundy – he ended up losing 13 pounds thanks to cycling every day on a stationary bike. He was attracted to this project because it tells Bundy’s story from a very unique perspective, but the young actor wanted to make sure it doesn’t celebrate him in any shape or form.
“I feel a responsibility to make sure that this movie is not a celebration of Ted Bundy. Or a glorification of him. But, definitely, a psychological study of who this person was. In that, there’s honesty,” explained Zac Efron.
