All I can say is that GB fans know how to have fun. We had two screenings of Wrath of Gods at the GB Fan Convention in Washington, DC. The convention actually took place across the river from the capital, at a hotel in Old Town Alexandria. Both screenings were packed and we hada great Q&A after both screenings. It was great to meet all those people who had been among the first to buy the DVD and still, there was a long line of people when they arranged for the signing session. These people know how to have fun.

“On a lighter note, Jon Gustafsson’s Wrath of God is a hilarious behind-the-scenes glimpse at just how insane things can get when a movie is being made. When Gustafsson was hired as an extra on the 2004 Scandinavian epic Beowulf & Grendel, he found himself with a lot of time on his hands. Gustafsson picked up a video camera and started documenting a film production that suffered so many disasters that some of the crew actually began to think that the Norse gods were conspiring against them.”
