signed on to star in Where the Truth Lies, the next project from filmmaker
Atom Egoyan. Serendipity Point Films’ Robert Lantos is producing the feature,
set to begin filming on location in Los Angeles, Toronto and London beginning

by Egoyan from the Rupert Holmes novel of the same name. The story centers
on a young journalist (Lohman) commissioned to write a book about a celebrated
comedy team of the ’60s. As she begins her research, what she discovers is
the darker side of fame and fortune during the sexually charged decades of
the ’60s and ’70s.
