‘Kingdom of Solomon’ to utilize AI

‘The Kingdom of Solomon the Prophet’ series will be incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into its production process.

Directed by Shahriyar Bahrani, the series is currently undergoing research with the screenplay in the process of being written.

In the meantime, the visual design team is working on incorporating the latest Artificial Intelligence technology to be used in the film’s production.

Due to the involvement of numerous characters and locations in various forms, the technology can drastically enhance the quality of the characters and locations, while increasing the versatility and interchangeable options that are available at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional film production.

According to an AI expert working on the project, the technology’s presence will be like a “highly capable assistant at the director’s side, fulfilling all of his goals.”

The expert added, “while we recreate a scene using AI, the director can watch the scene using his Virtual Reality (VR) glasses and make changes as needed.”

‘The Kingdom of Solomon the Prophet’ depicts the story of Prophet Solomon, king of Judah and the son of King David, who asks God to grant him the ideal kingdom. But for this to happen, he has to face a world filled with evil and an imminent and brutal war.

When the leaders of different Israelite tribes reject his call for help, disaster strikes. Solomon is then faced with a world of evil, threatening his kingdom, followers, and family…

Originally screened as a feature film, the film’s screenplay is being rewritten to be produced as a television series.

 Amin Zendegani, Mehdi Faqih, Elham Hamidi, Mahmoud Pakniyyat, Zahra Saeedi, Hossein Mahjoub, Javad Taheri, and Alireza Kamali-Nejad made up the cast of the original film.

Having directed the movie and series ‘Saint Mary’, ‘The Kingdom of Solomon the Prophet’ was Bahrani’s third religious epic, and upon completion of the series, will be the second time he has created a series based on a previous movie.
