...interviews with Ted Bundy taped a quarter-century ago, journalists Stephen Michaud and Hugh Aynesworth captured the essence of homicidal narcissism. Through hour after tedious hour, a man who killed 30 or more young women and girls preened for his audience. He spoke of himself as an actor, of life as a series of roles and of other people as props and scenery. His desires were simple: "control" and "mastery." He took whatever he wanted, from shoplifted tube socks to human lives, because nothing mattered beyond his desires. Bundy said he was always surprised that anyone noticed his victims...

...instead, he’s focused on creating his own projects, including finishing up a script with Martin Lawrence, with whom he costarred in “Blue Streak” (1999). But his process could be quicker, he admits: “I’m not exactly Stephen King when it comes to output.” In the meantime, Wilson is concentrating on his role in “Vacancy.” The movie follows a soon to be divorced couple, Wilson and Beckinsale, whose car breakdown forces them to visit a seedy motel (surprise?).
