Director Joe Berlinger recently made the Ted Bundy biopic EXTREMELY WICKED, SHOCKINGLY EVIL, AND VILE (pictured above), which stars Zac Efron as the serial killer. That movie is going to be making its premiere at next year's Sundance Film Festival, which is set to run from January 23rd to February 2nd. Around that same time, the Netflix streaming service will be releasing a four-part true crime series Berlinger has made about Bundy.

Titled Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, the series will 

feature previously unheard audio of interviews with Bundy while he was on death row in Florida. The four-episode series will also detail Bundy's killings — he was convicted of or confessed to murdering more than 30 women in the 1970s — and the media frenzy around his trials, including the adoration of a number of women and his in-court marriage to Carole Ann Boone, who was testifying on his behalf.

A collaboration between RadicalMedia and Third Eye Motion Picture Company, the series was produced by Sara Enright, with Berlinger, Justin Wilkes, Jon Doran, and Jon Kamen executive producing.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes will premiere on Netflix on January 24th, the 30th anniversary of Bundy's execution. 

EXTREMELY WICKED, SHOCKINGLY EVIL, AND VILE is an interesting project, but Conversations with a Killer is likely to be even more disturbing, being built around Bundy's own words.
