Cannes | SPC gets Egoyan's latest

Winter Miller reports that Sony Pictures Classics has picked up domestic rights to Atom Egoyan's latest "Adoration," set for Cannes competition.

There's also this bit of news:
Separately, Egoyan has nabbed the 2008 Dan David Prize for the arts, which carries a $1 million purse to be shared with his fellow winners, author Amos Oz and playwright Tom Stoppard. Cited for "superb modernist filmmaking that explores Armenian history and culture," Egoyan will be honored with the others on May 19 in Israel before President Shimon Peres.
