  1. I love that you selected this film! It was interesting to follow the debates about the casting of Zac Efron. I think it was important to showcase the handsome and charismatic person that Bundy was. It was essential to how he was able to do what he did. What are you thoughts?

  2. I totally agree! I just finished watching the "Ted Bundy Tapes" docuseries on Netflix to get a sense of who Ted Bundy was and the fascination with him. To me, Zac Efron is a perfect choice for Ted because they are both handsome, had woman fawning over them, and seem like good sweet talkers. I think that people today, truly do not understand how "perfect" and "normal" Ted seemed because they now know the truth, but this film with Zac will show them his appeal.
