Jack Scribe Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 The Single Man - a screen adaptation of Christopher Isherwood's novel that takes place in 1962 Santa Monica - opens next weekend, 12/11. It's a phenomenal first directoral effort by fashion designer, Tom Ford. Check out the Orange County/Long Beach Blade's review: http://www.nbrmp.org/awards/ Colin Firth won the Venus Film Festival Best Actor award and should garner an Oscar nomination. He is ably supported by Julienne Moore, hunky Matthew Goode and yummy Nicholas Hoult. Jon Kortajarena, a Tom Ford fashion model from Spain, plays a very hot James Dean-type hustler. This is an important cinematic step forward for our GLBT community. It'll probably be initially released only in larger cities. Watch for it! Here's an excellent 2:00 trailer:
Kev de Cauchery Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Love Jon Kortajarena. But don't think there's any chance it'd come to Chine.
TetRefine Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) It'll probably be initially released only in larger cities. Watch for it! Sigh, it's to bad this won't be a widespread release. Edited December 4, 2009 by TetRefine
paya Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Sigh, it's to bad this won't be a widespread release. Yeah, it may not make to the cinemas here maybe some festival of gay themed films... hopefully Actually this seems to be first film in which I'd like Colin Firth... he's always played such losers...
Jack Scribe Posted December 7, 2009 Author Posted December 7, 2009 Yeah, it may not make to the cinemas here maybe some festival of gay themed films... hopefully Actually this seems to be first film in which I'd like Colin Firth... he's always played such losers... I didn't mean to imply that this film will be hard to find (well, maybe my friend Kevin in China may have difficulties). A Single Man will start in limited release and slowly build presence in markets. Believe me, the Weinstein brothers will aggressively push the film. Here's a terrific article in yesterday's NYT concerning Colin Firth. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/06/movies/06firth.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=a%20single%20man%20tom%20ford&st=cse And an article about Tom Ford and background about the movie. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/03/fashion/03ford.html?scp=3&sq=a%20single%20man%20tom%20ford&st=cse
