    • Trivia
      When director Mikael Håfström, who worked with him on the movie Ondskan (2003) based on his book, refused to give both him and lead actor Andreas Wilson their tickets to the Academy Awards, he responded by closing down his production company, Moviola, ending his and Håfström's plan to bring his books about the medieval hero Arn to the screen.
