The novel, The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini, was converted into a film by director Marc Forster in 2007. The film stars:
-Khalid Abdalla as Amir
-Ahman Khan Mahmidzada as Hassan
-Homayoun Ershadi as Baba
-Atossa Leoni as Soraya
-Shaun Toub as Rahim Khan
-Abdul Salaam Yusoufzai as Assef
Although for the most part, the film was set in Afghanistan as in the novel, many of the scenes were actually shot in China because of the dangers of shooting a film in Afghanistan at the time. Much of the film’s dialogue is in Dari/English. Although they finished filming the movie in December 21, 2006, there was much concern as far as 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, and so, its release date was moved to December 14, 2007 . Since it’s release, The Kite Runner has been nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film in that same year, as well as Best Original Score at the Golden Globes and Academy Awards, which was written by Alberto Iglesias.
This is a trailer that was shown prior to the release of The Kite Runner, and gives the audience an overall picture of the story, and is sure to capture their attention and haunt their minds such as the novel itself succeeded in doing.
