Lily Collins (The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones) is set to star as Elizabeth Kloepfer, longtime girlfriend of notorious serial killer, rapist, and necrophile Ted Bundy, in director Joe Berlinger’s Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, a new biopic on the lethal Lothario told from Kloepfer’s perspective.

Berlinger, the noted documentary filmmaker behind Metallica’s Some Kind of Monster and the Paradise Lost true-crime docs, is working off a script by new scribe Michael Werwie. Zac Efron (Neighbors) portrays Bundy, who viciously raped, mutilated, and slaughtered young women – sometimes fucking their corpses and keeping their heads.

Bundy was described as charming and handsome and often lured women to his car by feigning injury. Kloepfer started dating him before he started killing and would stay with him despite his erratic behavior up until and after tipping police to her suspicions. Bundy would eventually confess to murdering 30 women – though he was suspected of many more – and was executed in the electric chair in 1989.

Shooting on Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile began this week. An image of Efron as Bundy was released by the actor and can be seen here:
