The first version of Wrath of Gods DVD has sold out. We are about to release a new version. Here are four DVD cover ideas that our designers have been working on. Yes, big surprise… all of the ideas use a picture of Mr. Gerard Butler. When Gerry played the lead in Beowulf & Grendel he had already made the Phantom of the Opera but it had not been released. The mega hit movie 300 came along a couple of years later and then ps. I Love You, Nim’s Island, RocknRolla and The Ugly Truth. By now Gerard Butler has become a huge star and I’m quite sure that a film like Wrath of Gods will never be made again.
Tell us what you think and which idea you would like us to pick!

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.

Perth Revelation Film Festival (Australia) has published this write-up:
“Is there some kind of competition to see which filmmaker can have the worst time making a movie? Think Terry Gilliam in Lost In La Mancha, Mark Borchardt from American Movie and the Sydney boys struggling to finish their film in Making Venus (Rev 2002).
If Rev doco Wrath Of Gods is anything to go by, the competition has been won by Icelandic director Sturla Gunnarsson. Gunnarsson, his crew and cast – including 300 star Gerard Butler – were cursed by trolls, blown off the side of a mountain and endured hellish storms making epic Beowulf & Grendel. It’s grim for them but fun for us. Wrath Of Gods is a gripping documentary about the madness of movie making.”
WorldFest in Huston received 4.500 entries. They decided to give Wrath Of Gods a Bronze Remi Award. Thank you.
