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.

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. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
