First Look at Elijah Wood's Ted Bundy Film NO MAN OF GOD Which Was Picked Up by RLJE Films
RLJE Films of AMC Networks has picked up the North American rights to Elijah Wood’s upcoming Ted Bundy thriller, No Man of God. The film is based on the real transcripts and conversations between serial killer Ted Bundy and FBI Agent Bill Hagmaier, and we also have a first look thanks to some images that were released.
In 1980, Ted Bundy was sentenced to death by electrocution. In the years that followed, he agreed to disclose the details of his crimes, but only to one man. No Man of God is based on the true story of the strange and complicated relationship that developed between FBI agent Bill Hagmaier (Wood) and an incarcerated Ted Bundy (Luke Kirby) in the years leading to Bundy's execution.
Mark Ward, Chief Acquisitions Officer at RLJE Films said in a statement, “No Man of God explores FBI agent Bill Hagmaier’s actual interrogation of Ted Bundy. A story that has never been told, No Man of God brings a new and revealing perspective to the Ted Bundy story.”
Company X/SpectreVision CEO Lisa Whalen added, "No Man of God explores a familiar subject through a different lens. Through the brilliant direction of Amber Sealey, the film poses challenging questions about the dangers of our obsession with serial killers like Bundy. RLJE Films immediately recognized what was special about this film. We're thrilled to be working with them again."
The movie is directed by Amber Sealey (No Light and No Land Anywhere) and also stars Aleksa Palladino (The Irishman), and Robert Patrick (Terminator 2).
The film will be released in theaters in August 2021.
