The Kingdom of Solomon (Persian: ملک سلیمان) is a 2010 Iranian religious/historical film series^[4] produced by Mojtaba Faravardeh and directed by Shahriar Bahrani who made Saint Mary a decade earlier. The Kingdom of Solomon was to be released internationally in November 2010 after its screening in Iran, but due to some technicalities its global release was delayed. The film tells the life story of Prophet Solomon, the King of Israelites. It is mostly based on the Islamic accounts of Solomon's prophetic life extracted from the Qur'an but also draws upon parallels found in some Jewish texts.^[5]
