It’s no secret that Hetfield has been in movies before but he has always played himself. Now, he makes his debut as a dramatic actor in a thriller called “Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, And Vile.” The film makes its debut at the Sundance Film Festival on January 26th and follows the relationship between serial killer Ted Bundy, played by Zac Efron, and his longtime girlfriend, played by Lily Collins, who at the time had no knowledge of the crimes.
Bundy is played by Zac Efron while Lily Collins plays the girlfriend. Insert James Hetfield who takes on the roll of officer Bob Hayward, the first law enforcement officer to arrest Bundy in 1975.
The film’s directer Joe Berlinger took to Instagram last year during filming to share this picture:
