Meanwhile, Metallica’s James Hetfield recently announced that he’ll be making his feature film debut with an appearance in a suitably sinister movie.

The Metallica frontman will play the role of “no-nonsense” Utah highway patrol Officer Bob Hayward in Ted Bundy biopic Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile. Hayward was the first officer to arrest the serial killer – who will be played in the movie by Zac Efron – in 1975 after he pulled Bundy over on a highway.

Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile is being directed by Joe Berlinger, who also co-produced and directed the Metallica documentary Metallica: Some Kind of Monster.

“Having spent hundreds of hours behind the scenes with James and the rest of Metallica, I have experienced his charisma and powerful presence close up,” Berlinger said in a statement.

“It seemed only natural that he would bring that same power and magnetism to a dramatic role, so when he agreed to my pitch that he be in the movie, I was thrilled.”
