'Horse' production resuming after bombing

May 20, 2007 Samira Makhmalbaf's latest feature "Two-Legged Horse" is back on track, with production set to resume on the film "quickly," the director and her filmmaker father, Mohsen, who wrote the script, said Friday. The Makhmalbafs showed a short documentary showing the explosion to international press at a conference here in Cannes featuring the hand bomb, which exploded into 80 pieces, each piece like a bullet shooting into the crowd. Shooting for the Makhmalbafs' film, produced by their family company the Makhmalbaf Film House and Wild Bunch, was banned by the Iranian government, so the production decided to film in Afghanistan.
