An ancient Armenian necklace, which has passed from hand to hand during the years of the Armenian Genocide and reached our days. Now, it is at a private gallery in New York City and is owned by a well-known Turkish family.
The aforesaid is at the basis of filmmaker Serj Gabyan’s full-length feature film, entitled Pomegranate Stone Necklace, which is about the tragic events of the 20th century.
Speaking to Armenian News-NEWS.am, Gabyan presented some other details about this planned movie.
He informed that a contract was signed in February with a European financial organization. In addition, the heads of several Armenian organizations in France, US, and Russia have promised to assist in the shooting of this film.
Pomegranate Stone Necklace is expected to hit the big screens in November.
“The main language of the film is English, since our top priority is to once again draw the attention of the world community—and with the story of a family and an Armenian ornament—on the Armenian Genocide issue and its consequences,” Gabyan noted.
The film will be shot on location in Armenia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, and the US. Furthermore, negotiations are underway with the agents of several Hollywood stars to play parts in this movie.
“Some agents have already approved the script and even expressed admiration. The matter will become clearer soon,” Serj Gabyan added.
Pomegranate Stone Necklace will be edited in a Hollywood studio.
