Production

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, and Moritz Bleibtreu 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

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

In November 2023, Angel Studios acquired worldwide rights to the film, which had been retitled from God's Spy to Bonhoeffer.[12] It is scheduled to be released in the United States on November 22, 2024.[13]
