The Kite Runner

Directed by Golden Globe nominee Marc Forster (Finding Neverland, Monster's Ball), THE KITE RUNNER is the epic tale of fathers and sons, of friendship and betrayal, that takes us from the final days of Afghanistan's monarchy to the atrocities of the Taliban reign. This unforgettable story of redemption is based on the international, best-selling phenomena "The Kite Runner," by Afghan-American writer Khaled Hosseini. The soundtrack features original music written by Spanish composer Alberto Iglesias. The Academy Award-nominated composer (The Constant Gardener) is also highly-acclaimed for a number of soundtracks he wrote for Academy Award-winning director Pedro Almodovar's films, including Hable Con Ella. In addition to the original orchestral music by Iglesias, the soundtrack includes original songs by legendary 70s Afghan singer Ahmad Zahir, Ehsan Aman and the world-renowned British singer of Iranian-Azerbaijanian background Sami Yusuf. THE KITE RUNNER is a powerful movie that has all the necessary elements, including the compellingly beautiful soundtrack, that will make this a hit film as well as one of the best-selling soundtrack albums of the year. Paramount Vantage and DreamWorks Pictures present THE KITE RUNNER, opening November 2 in select theatres. The Edge soundtrack will be released on October 30.
