Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Four young stars of "The Kite Runner" have been sent from their homes in Afghanistan to United Arab Emirates so they will be safe when the divisive film opens.
It was feared the boys could be targeted for reprisal because of the movie's portrayal of a culturally inflammatory rape scene, The New York Times reported.
Accompanied by relatives, the young actors from Kabul arrived in United Arab Emirates on Friday.
"I can't really tell you what a weight came off when they landed safely," Megan Colligan, a Paramount Pictures marketing executive involved in the effort, told the newspaper.
The movie's release has been delayed by six weeks, so the boys would have time to relocate, and is now set to open on Dec. 14.
