No Man of God marks the 13th portrayal of Ted Bundy in movies. The film is based on interview transcripts between FBI analyst Bill Hagmaier (played by Elijah Wood) and Ted Bundy (played by Luke Kirby). Hagmaier was reportedly the only person to whom Ted confessed all of his crimes before his execution, and the movie will portray these meetings.
The movie is slated for an August 21 premiere. No Man of God will also focus on the interactions between Bill Hagmaier and Ted Bundy over the period of four years.
The Ted Bundy biopic will be available in both theaters and via PVOD services. Furthermore, the film was released just a week after Chad Michael Murray’s American Boogeyman on August 16, which was the 12th portrayal of Ted Bundy.
