I just watched the trailer for this film and, at the risk of sounding dramatic, I'm genuinely completely disgusted. Why is a man who tortured, mutilated, raped, and murdered women and multiple children being treated like some kind of cheeky, lovable rock'n'roll ne'er-do-well? What the fuck? What the FUCK

Can you fucking imagine if a trailer for a film about Ariel Castro or Josef Fritzl featured a playful rock soundtrack and big excited titles like "[MAIN ACTOR] IS..." like it's a fucking classic rock biopic?

True to character as always, sparrow.

Okay correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't one of the most surprising things about Ted Bundy when he was caught the fact that he was such a very normal, charming person who everyone liked? Like, people were expecting some sort of weird, creepy loser and then it turned out to be someone who helped people with their groceries and was nice to everyone. That was literally the image he cultivated and projected.

And a presentation of that story that focuses on the normal, charming, sexy facade is bad. The important thing is that he was all of those things, and also a serial killer. The trailer, at the very least, did a really poor job of getting that message across.

... the trailer, which is meant to project a surface image. You know, exactly the same way Bundy himself did. I'm really not seeing why it seems to be coming as such a surprise to people that the trailer for a movie about a serial killer whose entire modus operandi was being a handsome, charming young man would show the serial killer as a handsome, charming young man.

I'm sure the movie itself will deconstruct that image, but trailers often aren't anything like the actual movie itself.

It's possible that the trailer is misrepresenting the movie. That would make it a bad trailer, and I don't see where there's a problem with people saying it's a shitty trailer and that if it's accurate to the movie then it's going to be a shitty movie.
