TORONTO, MAY 13, ARMENIANS TODAY – NOYAN TAPAN. Sony Pictures has
picked up the distribution rights to Atom Egoyan’s latest film,
Adoration, starring Arsinee Khanjian and Scott Speedman. The movie,

teenager, who creates a fake internet identity and pursues a family
secret.

inspired by a true story about a man who talks his pregnant girlfriend
onto an El Al flight, where she is found with a bomb in her handbag.
