Synopsis[edit]

Set in Berlin during the 1940s, it tells the true story of German theologian and pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who stood up to the Nazis during the Third Reich.[1]

Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

In 2018, Komarnicki discussed shooting the film, then titled God's Spy, describing it as a "profound and pretty untold story of heroism from World War II."[2]

In January 2023, Jonas Dassler was confirmed in the role of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Flula Borg, David Jonsson, August Diehl, Moritz Bleibtreu and William Robinson were confirmed as cast. Production was by In Plain Sight Group, Crow's Nest Productions, Fontana and Komarnicki's Guy Walks Into A Bar Productions. Cinematographer John Mathieson and production designer John Beard were also revealed to be on-board the project.[3][4]

Filming[edit]

Principal photography took place in Ireland in locations such as Limerick,[5] County Clare, Tipperary,[6] and St Fin Barre's Cathedral in Cork.[7][8] Filming also took place in Belgium, in Brussels, Liege,[9] and Spa.[10] According to Variety filming wrapped before March 2023.[11]

Release[edit]

In November 2023, Angel Studios acquired worldwide rights to the film, which had been retitled from God's Spy to Bonhoeffer, scheduling it for a theatrical release in 2024.[12]
