Atom Egoyan is about to start shooting for a movie about love,reality and fantasy in his new movie called “Seven Wonders”.

The project is still in the beginning stages. It centers on a woman named Pandora who, after her own relationship goes south, becomes consumed by a relationship between a commercials director and the director’s boyfriend, even following the helmer as she shoots commercials at the Seven Wonders of the World

“It’s an intimate story that I think can be harnessed on a larger canvas,” Egoyan said. “The Seven Wonders are an escape from our lives, places where we can believe in something larger.”

This is a recent phase by the director Atom who has been exploring these modern themes. In his last movie at the Cannes Adoration which centered around two women who begin a relationship online but after a while one of the women feels that she is probably not really chatting with anyone and it is just a part of her imagination.

Egoyan said he’s interested in modern technology because of the idea “that it’s so easy to be in contact (that) relationships can get complicated and confused.

“Adoration” slated for release by Sony Pictures Classics, it deals with a shattered family, modern communication,and an act of international terrorism that might have not happened.

He also is set to direct “Eh Joe” at New York’s Lincoln Center this summer, based on the television play by Samuel Beckett. But also there are also several ideas in the pipeline where he might collaborate with the immensely talented Sarah Polley.
