Recently named one of the must-see films of the month, we’re only a few weeks away from Tom Ford‘s long-awaited follow-up to A Single ManNocturnal Animals. Starring Amy AdamsJake Gyllenhaal, Michael Shannon, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Isla Fisher, Armie Hammer, Laura Linney, Andrea Riseborough, and Michael Sheen, the drama follows a wealthy gallery proprietor working in the upper echelons of the L.A. art scene whose past resurfaces when a manuscript from her ex-husband arrives. To get a new look at the film, a batch of clips, images, and a featurette, but the piece of the most interest around here is Abel Korzeniowski‘s track “Wayward Sisters,” which serves as a melody throughout the film.

We said in our review, “With everything going on, Nocturnal Animals is the sort of narrative and tonal minefield that a lesser director could easily have gotten lost in. Ford allows us to consider and cherish each unique thread and wonder just how it could all possibly come together. Each place has its own vibe, almost its own genre, and it’s a credit to Ford, cinematographer Seamus McGarvey, and the entire production team that it works at all. This is the output of a great creative mind, testing the limits of this fanciful, wonderful tool he’s suddenly found at his disposal.”

Check out the clips and images below (with a hat tip to The Playlist), the score preview (via EW), and a featurette below.
