A starry action-thriller from Nick Cassavetes is on its way to theaters. According to Deadline, Patriot Pictures and XYZ Films partnered with Wayward Entertainment to release the upcoming God Is a Bullet film. Maika Monroe (Watcher, It Follows), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones), Karl Glusman (The Neon Demon, Nocturnal Animals), January Jones (Mad Men, X-Men: First Class), Paul Johansson (One Tree Hill, Atlas Shrugged), David Thornton (Home Alone 3, Here and There), and Jamie Foxx (Ray, Dayshift) star, with a wide domestic theatrical release happening on June 23, 2023. God Is a Bullet also gets a digital release on July 11, 2023.
Nick Cassavetes directs from a script he wrote inspired by actual events and based on the novel of the same name by Boston Teran. God Is a Bullet tells the following story:
When vice detective Bob Hightower (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) finds his ex-wife murdered and daughter kidnapped by a satanic cult, he is frustrated by bumbling botched official investigations. Bob quits the police force, gets tattoos, and infiltrates the cult to hunt down the charismatic cult leader, Cyrus, with the help of the cult’s only female victim escapee, the brilliantly damaged Case Hardin (Maika Monroe). Bob is led down the rabbit hole to save his daughter, and Case seizes the opportunity to reclaim her power from the cult that took so much away from her.
“We are looking forward to working with Wayward and are so excited that God Is A Bullet will be hitting theaters nationwide this summer. Audiences are back and want to see films that keep them on the edge. Nick and I, with an amazing, multi-national cast and crew, are excited to release a badass, action-packed revenge classic, made to be enjoyed on the big screen,” said Mendelson.
“I’ve been trying to tell this great story for the last 18+ years,” Cassavetes said about finally adapting the story. “It’s tough, violent, has two flawed and fantastic characters, and absolutely pulls no punches. I love it! There’s nothing else out there like it, not even close!”
