The Kite Runner DVD, HD DVD
February 12, 2008
Paramount is releasing The Kite Runner on March 25 (prebook today) on DVD ($29.99) and HD DVD ($39.99).
The Oscar-nominated film from director Marc Forster (the beautiful Finding Neverland) and screenwriter David Benioff (Troy - don't let the theatrical version fool you, the script was better), Kite Runner grossed $13.8 million in limited release.
Here's the press release synopsis:
Spanning several decades and set against the backdrop of first the Soviet invasion and then the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, THE KITE RUNNER tells the story of Amir and Hassan, two boys who form an unlikely friendship in Kabul. But Amir’s failure to defend Hassan against a brutal attack leads to crushing guilt and the boys’ ultimate separation. Forced to flee Kabul ahead of Soviet troops, Amir and his father escape to the United States to pursue a new life, but years later the adult Amir is presented with an opportunity to “be good again” and come to the aid of his long lost friend’s son.
The extras are commentary with Forster, Benioff and author Khaled Hosseini, whose novel is the basis of the film, and featurettes.
