Thought most have yet to see Atom Egoyan’s new film Adoration (look for it playing across Canada early this year as part of Canada’s Top Ten), he’s already started work on his follow-up, a new thriller about infidelity and mistrust.

Chloe is adapted from the French film Nathalie by writer Erin Cressida Wilson who was also responsible for the scripts of Secretary and Fur: A Portrait of Diane Arbus. Empire has news that the film has cast the major roles and they include some great talent namely Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson and Amanda Seyfried. Moore will play a woman who thinks her husband (Neeson) is cheating so she hires a call girl (Seyfried) to seduce him.

Admitedly the project sounds run-of-the-mill but Egoyan is anything but that. I’m hopeful that there’ll be a little more substance to this thriller and with Egoyan and these actors on board, it’s a likely possibility. I only hope this turns out better than Where the Truth Lies.

The film will start shooting in Toronto in February.
