Egoyan to direct Hollywood sex thriller
Atom Egoyan will be directing Chloe a sex thriller. The Hollywood big
budget has a star cast of Oscar nominees Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson
and Amanda Seyfried. The scripting has been done by Erin Cressida
Wilson.
Jason Reitman will be executive producer along with Joe Medjuck and
Jeffrey Cllifford.
The film will be produced through Ivan Reitman and Tom Pollock’s
Montecito Picture Company. The financing will be done by StudioCanal,
the French production company.
The shooting is scheduled to commence from February in Toronto. The
film is in the similar genre as Fatal Attraction and is described as
"a smart, sexy thriller".
"It’s a really intelligent script," Egoyan said. "It’s incredible
because the prostitute comes back with these amazing erotic stories
about a man his wife thought she knew. She gets addicted to them and
they enter into a complicated relationship." The film revolves around
a successful doctor (Moore) who inadvertently endangers her family
when she hires an alluring young escort (Seyfried) to seduce her
husband (Neeson), whom she suspects of cheating.
The filmmaker’s latest feature, Adoration, was chosen as one of the
Toronto International Film Festival’s top 10 films of 2008.
Egoyan was nominated for Best Director Oscar The Sweet Hereafter.
