Single Man No Longer Looking

The Weinstein Co. has swooped in and made a commitment to A Single Man, Tom Ford’s directorial debut – get this – with the intention of releasing it this year so it can attract some Oscar loving.

The ultra-stylish drama – it’s Tom frakkin’ Ford, so uh duh – starring Colin Firth premiered last night at the Toronto International Film Festival

A Single Man may generate further buzz thanks in part to Firth and co-star Julianne Moore’s supporting performance. Matthew Goode and Ginnifer Goodwin are also in the film.

And can I just say, fantastic trailer (I’m mesmerized):



Looks like Ford has an auspicious and sexy debut in his hands.

Update: Colin Firth was named Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival for his portrayal of a college professor, mourning the loss of his partner, who considers ending his own life.

A Single Man is expected to be released on Dec. 4.
