Hetfield plays Bob Hayward, a Utah highway patrol veteran who was the first law enforcement officer to arrest Bundy in 1975 after pulling the killer over and discovering burglary tools in his car but suspecting much worse. While Hetfield has played himself in other films and tv shows, this is his first dramatic role.
The film also stars Jim Parsons from The Big Bang Theory, Haley Joel Osment of The Sixth Sense fame, John Malkovich from Bird Box and others. There's no word yet on a release date beyond Sundance.
