World-renowned Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi’s shooting project for his religious blockbuster
Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) in South Africa has been finished.
After five days shooting in the city of Bela-Bela in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, Majidi announced end of the project and came back to Iran this morning.
While the main parts of the film had been shot in Iran, Majidi along with his team traveled to Africa few weeks ago to seek appropriate locations for few sections of the project.
American filmmaker and Hollywood visual effects supervisor Scott E. Anderson also accompanied the Iranian team in Africa, Mehr News Agency reported.
Majidi's recent cinematic rendition focuses on Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) life from childhood until prophethood. The first draft of the screenplay was co-authored by Majidi and Iranian filmmaker and screenwriter Kambuzia Partovi.
Historical documents and facts have been compiled with the help of scholars, historians and clerics from different countries including Iran, Morocco, Tunisia, Lebanon, Iraq and Algeria over a year.
The cast members were selected under the supervision of Majidi and Italian makeup artist Giannetto De Rossi who collaborated in the grand project.
Three-time Academy Award winning Italian cameraman Vittorio Storaro also contributed to the project.
Storaro who has great projects such as
Apocalypse Now,
Redsand
The Last Emperor, visited Iran last year to meet with the Iranian cast and crew.
Produced by Mohammad Mehdi Heidarian, the film has been set to be released in Persian, Arabic and English.
Majid Majidi is an internationally and critically acclaimed Iranian film director, film producer, and screen writer whose films have touched on many themes and genres and has won many international awards.
