Sneak Preview.

We just got sent the trailer for the new film A Single Man and we think it looks absolutely stunning. A Single Man is the directorial debut from designer Tom Ford who also coproduced, cowrote and called this film "the most personal thing" he's ever done. The colors and work of Mad Men's production designer Dan Bishop, who filled the same role for A Single Man, is instantly recognizable, and apparently the show's star Jon Hamm does an uncredited voiceover in the film.

Based on the novel by Christopher Isherwood, the story centers on an English professor who, after the sudden death of his partner tries to go about his typical day in Los Angeles. (You can buy the book here!)

The movie is already receiving good reviews — the Times UK called it "a thing of heart-stopping beauty . . . There will be critics who will be unable to get past the director’s background, but rest assured: Tom Ford is the real deal." Variety's verdict: "Luminous and treasurable, despite its imperfections. An impressive helming debut for fashion designer Tom Ford." Watch the trailer below. We literally cannot wait! (from insider wire).
