8 Actors Who Will Ruin Upcoming Films
6. Zac Efron - Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil And Vile
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile are some of the words that could be used to describe the decision to cast Zac Efron as the lead in the upcoming Ted Bundy biopic. It also happens to be the movie's title.
Efron, who's predominantly known for his heartthrob roles and mediocre comedies, is playing a notorious serial killer, rapist, kidnapper, thief and necrophile. Exactly what part of that did they think was going to work?
Sure, the High School Musical star has dabbled in darker roles such as Parkland and the downright weird Paperboy, but nothing that qualifies him to play a deeply disturbed murderer.
By all accounts, Bundy possessed a degree of superficial charm, something that Efron has in spades, but on the whole, the star's fresh-faced presence will be all too distracting and immersion shattering in this biopic.
