RLJE Films Picks Up Ted Bundy Dramatic Thriller ‘No Man Of God’ Ahead Of Tribeca Film Festival Premiere

EXCLUSIVE: AMC Networks’ RLJE Films has taken North American rights to the Elijah Wood and Luke Kirby dramatic thriller No Man of God, based on real transcripts and conversations between serial killer Ted Bundy and FBI Agent Bill Hagmaier. The deal for the Amber Sealey directed feature went down before the pic’s Tribeca Film Festival premiere in June. The pic is scheduled to hit theaters in August.

In 1980, Bundy (Kirby) 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, that being Hagmaier (Wood). Aleksa Palladino and Robert Patrick also star in the Kit Lesser-scripted feature.
