[BB.Movie] – The Kite Runner
[wikipedia] The Kite Runner (Persian: کاغذپرانباز – Kāğazparān Bāz) is a 2007 Academy Award-nominated film directed by Marc Forster based on the novel of the same name by Khaled Hosseini.
Though most of the film is set in Afghanistan, these parts were mostly shot in Kashgar, China, due to the dangers of filming in Afghanistan at the time.[1] Much of the film’s dialogue is in Dari Persian (with English subtitles) and English. The child actors are native speakers, but several adult actors had to learn Persian. Filming wrapped up on 21 December 2006, and the movie was expected to be released on 2 November 2007. However, after concern for the safety of the young actors in the film due to fears of violent reprisals to the sexual nature of some scenes in which they appear, its release date was pushed back six weeks to 14 December 2007. [2] The Kite Runner was released on DVD on March 25, 2008. An HD DVD version of the film was announced for release on the same date, but was canceled following the format’s demise.
