Well, this is good news.

Is it just us, or is everyone a little obsessed with true crime at the moment?

Probably has something to do with the release of The Ted Bundy Tapes on Netflix.

Also, Zac Efron’s Ted Bundy movie Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile is set for release this year, and hype has been building.

And, if you don’t fancy going along to the cinema to watch Efron’s portrayal of Bundy, we have some great news.

Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile is coming to Netlix in the not-so-distant future.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has purchased the movie for $9 million following an intense bidding war with STX and Lionsgate.

However, don’t get too excited, as we have quite a bit of time to wait.

Netflix wants to hold off releasing the film until the Autumn, to give Zac Efron a better chance during award season (SAGs, The Oscars etc).

Speaking of his role, Zac told Variety:

“This movie was really about a human being, somebody that perhaps I would have been friends with. And a love story from a very unique perspective.

“I’ve never seen that before. It’s intriguing to me. I think it’s more psychological and even more kind of a mindf*ck.”
