It looks as though Tom Ford will soon be taking a break from reality TV and chips to direct the film adaptation of A Single Man, Christopher Isherwood’s 1964 novel about a recently widowed gay, middle-aged college professor. The movie will be released by Fade to Black, the production company Ford formed three years ago, says WWD. Filming is expected to start next month in Los Angeles where the story takes place, and so far the film’s roster comes with serious star-wattage. WWD reports Colin Firth, Julianne Moore and Matthew Goode are all on board.
