I believe she will be permitted to go to Hollywood

by John Carpenter III (not verified) on

I believe she will be permitted to eventually leave for Hollywood. She will probably make a lot of money in Hollywood and go back to Tehran and give all the money to the Basij and the "Khahar-haa-yeh Zaynab" organizations. The US knows all about this plan and will help Ms. golshifteh Farahani as much as possible. Obama and Biden will become President of the US and enter the White House in January 2009 and direct relations between the US and Iran will begin.

It's a shame that this

by skatermom (not verified) on

It's a shame that this talented actress is barred from leaving. Ridley Scott is a fabulous director. Besides directing Thelma and Louise he had also directed blade runner. He has a number of Oscars under his belt. He has a house in Morocco and unlike other Holllywood directors has a great admiration for the Middle East and Middle Easterners. I have not seen this movie since it is still in it's production phase. I can bet that it wouldn't portray us in a negative light. He, his brother Tony and 2 children are all directors and producers and probably some of the most educated and intellectual people in the industry. He lives and travels extensively to the region. Golshifteh's career would have definately taken off with a mentor like him. It's a pity that she isn't allowed out to pursue it.

I think Golshifteh Farahani

by Dahati (not verified) on

I think Golshifteh Farahani is a very beautiful actress and as far as I know, she also comes from a very educated and enlightened artistic Iranian family.

Western Propeganda

by Anonymouszzzzz (not verified) on

She is a very talented and beautiful artist and I've enjoyed her work and sincerely wish for her continued success.

At the same time she is also very young and uninfomred about how social engineering takes form here in the western world.

Iran doesn't need one of her biggest stars on Leonardo's side as he superhero's his way to stump on terrorists, which in the western world is being associated with Iran. This movie is another 300 like propeganda and in reality the objective is to disarm the competition.

Hollywood, the good cop arm of the institutions political agenda, can go pound salt because the gentlemen plan to keep up the good work and their best is yet to come.

Cheers to all....

For Film Illiterates ... (And Sorry to Mehdi ¨Palang)

by Darius Kadivar on

Apologies for previous post to Mehdi Palange I called Film Illiterate ( See no personal offense ) but just for your information. Ridley Scott is the director of Kingdom of Heaven. And for your interest Hamid Dabashi was consultant on this film.

As to IRI apologists at IRNA: Why don't they ask Our Censors in Iran like Mehdi Kalhor what they have got to say about Freedom of Creation and the Intercultural promotions between Iranian and Non Iranian Artists ?

 I suggest them to give a visa to Chris De Burge first to start with and then maybe Educate themselves before talking nonesense:

 Satrapi's Persepolis Criticized by Iranian Authorities:

BINOCHE FEMME DANGEREUSE!

IRI apologists and their colleagues at IRNA Are Lamanetable ...

VIVE LE CINEMA & LA LIBERTE DE CREATION ! 


Mehdi-Palang

this movie is propaganda at its best

by Mehdi-Palang on

This is an obvious attempt by Hollywood to sway US public opinion towards McCain right before the election.  The timing of this movie is extremely questionable (October surprise!).  I feel sorry for Golshifteh khanoom because she should be allowed to travel as she pleases, but couldn't she have picked a better movie to participate in? 

Anyway, I'm sure this movie will be a smash hit (financially) and it will help to solidify the manufactured preception that the Middle East is full of shadowy bad guys who want to destroy civilisation.

Isn't this Ridley Scott guy the same guy who's directing/producing the Prince of Persia movie too?  If so, I guess we know what to expect from him.

fe'lan besheen sare jaat

by not going anywhere (not verified) on

as has been stated by someone else, she has been banned from leaving Iran. She went to the airport on Tuesday to go to LA and they would not allow her to leave the country...and is now mamnool khoroog so they will have to find someone else! Too bad really because she is a great actress and could really make a name for herself in hollywood.

If allowed to get leave and get to Hollywood

by farrad02 on

Golshifteh Farahani can quite possibly be the next big foreign female star; much bigger than Aghdashloo ever imagined becoming! Reportedly, there are so many offers waiting for her!!! I think she should cross the border illegally and flee that unappreciative, repressive country!

Is the sister single? I have an offer for her too

by Mola Nasredeen on

I would advise against her leaving the country. Cheraghi keh beh manzel ravast -  beh masjed haramast. First she should be wedded or become a seegheh, Iranian brothers come first, then she should be able to leave. Vasalam.

She is banned

by banned (not verified) on

TEHRAN (AFP) — Iran has banned an award-winning young actress from leaving the country over her appearance in a star-studded Hollywood production, the state news agency IRNA said on Wednesday.

"Golshifteh Farahani was banned from leaving by the authorities at the airport on Tuesday when she was about to leave for Hollywood to examine a new offer," IRNA said quoting an informed source.
