The trailer for Tom Ford‘s directorial debut, A Single Man, has premiered on MySpace. The film has got quite a lot of Oscar buzz, especially regarded to a Best Actor nod for Colin Firth. The film also stars Julianne Moore and Matthew Goode. Check out the stylistic trailer below.

What a fantastic trailer. It reminds me of the Coens’ A Serious Man trailer. Harvey Weinstein picked up the rights for the film for $2 million. /Film also highlights the source and plot of the film:

Ford adapted the screenplay alongside David Scearce (his first screenplay credit as well) from the same-named 1964 novel by the late, provocative British author Christopher Isherwood. Like the novel, the main character as played to “breakout” notices by Colin Firth (Bridget Jones franchise), is a gay college professor whose BF (Matthew Goode aka Ozymandias in Watchmen) passes away in front of him; the plot follows a day in a life of masked grief throughout a Southern California set in the 1960s. The film is said to be sprinkled with time-specific details like the theatrical run of Psycho and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Julianne Moore, who is a natural compliment for Ford’s style, stars as a London friend and neighbor of Firth’s character, though the marketing clearly implies a less platonic relationship.

Check out the poster below:

A Single Man has a limited release on December 11th.
