Son of Thor

Last week a curious link: http://www.avikingsaga.com/ began to circulate among the film companies in Copenhagen.
It was for a new film "Son of Thor" that no one had heard about, but with fairly well known Danish actors in the cast.
A look at the trailer caused equal parts laughter and confusion in our office.
Was this an April Fool joke leaked too early or a truly, wonderfully terrible film?
Bad wigs, bad dialogue, bad accents, and I mean really bad!
Several radio shows started looking into it and as the film was pulled from the website only to be posted on YouTube by a fan, it was revealed that the film had been made by a very enthusiastic filmmaker with exceptional persuasive skills but little film making experience.
The films website now carries a disclaimer that the film trailer was indeed an April Fool joke and does not reflect the quality of the final film.
This may or may not be the case, but one thing is certain: "Son of Thor", shows you how incredibly difficult it is to make a film. We only notice the camera angles, the sound, dialogue and the acting when it is done badly.
I once read that the scientists who were posted for months on end to Antarctica, never brought quality movies with them to watch, but the very worst they could find, as they were much better suited for repeated viewing.
Only time will tell if "Son of Thor" will make it to the Antarctic DVD library.
