The film, which is directed by Joe Berlinger, focuses on Bundy's relationship with his girlfriend Elizabeth Kloepfer (Lily Collins). They dated for several years, and although she grew suspicious of him and reported Bundy to the police multiple times, their entanglement continued even after he was arrested.
So far, the release date for "Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile" has not been announced.
