FORD TO VENICE: Tom Ford’s movie, “A Single Man,” starring Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Matthew Goode and Nicholas Hoult, will have its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Sept. 11. It is slated to be the final film screened in the main competition. Ford directed the movie, based on the novel of the same name by Christopher Isherwood, as well as coproduced and cowrote the adaptation. Set in Los Angeles in 1962 at the height of the Cuban missile crisis, it is the story of a British college professor struggling after the death of his longtime partner. “The story is a romantic tale of love interrupted, the isolation that is an inherent part of the human condition, and ultimately the importance of the seemingly smaller moments in life,” said Ford’s production company, Fade to Black. Ford said the selection by the prestigious festival was “a great honor.”
