Director Joe Berlinger is about to premiere his second piece of Ted Bundy content in a single week.

Voltage Pictures on Friday released the first trailer for Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, Berlinger's new film in which Zac Efron plays the infamous serial killer. Efron stars alongside Lily Collins, who plays his girlfriend, Elizabeth Kloepfer. For a film about a man who murdered dozens of people, it's a surprisingly lively trailer with a tone much closer in line with something like The Wolf of Wall Street than something like Se7en, and Efron's Bundy even winks at the camera at one point.
