‘Bonhoeffer’ Trailer: Angel Studios’ True-Life WWII Thriller Examines Courage And Sacrifice – CineEurope

EXCLUSIVE: Angel Studios, the outfit behind global blockbuster Sound of Freedom, has unveiled the full trailer for its true-life WWII thriller Bonhoeffer – see it above. Spotlighting the courage and sacrifice of the titular German pastor and theologian-turned-spy, the film is written and directed by Sully scribe Todd Komarnicki. Angel Studios will release domestically on November 22.

The official synopsis reads: When a pacifist is called to a political act that could change the course of history, how will a man of honor respond? This is the true story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a man who preached love while plotting the assassination of an evil tyrant. With world-shattering stakes, Bonhoeffer begs the question, how far will you go to stand up for what’s right?

Said Komarnicki, “Bonhoeffer is not just a man for all time, but for our time.”

Starring alongside Never Look Away’s Dassler are August Diehl (Inglorious Basterds), Moritz Bleibtreu (Run Lola Run), Nadine Heidenreich (Die Flaschenpost-Insel), David Jonsson (Rye Lane), Clarke Peters (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri) and Flula Borg (Suicide Squad).

Producers include Komarnicki for A Guy Walks into a Bar Productions, Ralph Winters, Emmanuel Kampouris and Camille Kampouris.

Angel Studios, which showed the Bonhoeffer trailer at its CineEurope presentation today, is celebrating its inaugural year as a theatrical distributor, topping $300 million in global box office in 2023. During CinemaCon in April, it also dated other films on its upcoming slate including Homestead on December 20 and David— a new animated musical about the biblical king — on November 21, 2025.
