WINGS OF DISASTER: THE BIRDEMIC TRILOGY
In 2010, software salesman turned writer/producer/director James Nguyen harnessed the powers of action, adventure and environmental awareness to ask, “Why did the eagles and vultures attacked?” Nguyen’s groundbreaking BIRDEMIC: SHOCK AND TERROR soon became a global phenomenon and launched his career as The Master of the Romantic Thriller™. In 2013 Nguyen returned with his biggest budget to date for BIRDEMIC 2: THE RESURRECTION, never-before available on Blu-ray and exclusive to this collection. Nearly a decade after his original classic took flight, the auteur The New York Times hails as “a latter-day anti-genius” brought his extraordinary saga full circle with BIRDEMIC 3 – SEA EAGLE. For the first time ever, WINGS OF DISASTER: THE BIRDEMIC TRILOGY gathers Nguyen’s complete avian epic on 3 discs with 13+ hours of Special Features for a cinematic vision that remains unlike any you’ve ever seen.
