Wrath of Gods is a 2006 documentary film directed by Jon Gustafsson. It tells the story of the dramatic circumstances Canadian director Sturla Gunnarsson and his crew had to go through during the making of the 2005 film Beowulf & Grendel in Iceland.
The main focus of the documentary is on director Gunnarsson, but other participants are first assistant director Wendy Ord, stunt coordinator Peter Pedrero, film producers Paul Stephens and Eric Jordan, actors Gerard Butler, Stellan Skarsgård and Sarah Polley.
The director of Wrath of Gods, Jon Gustafsson, is credited in Beowulf & Grendel as one of Beowulf's warriors (Geat Warrior #2). Gerard Butler and Martin Delaney (who plays Thorfinn in the film) co-produced the documentary. The music was composed by Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson, who did the soundtrack for the film.
