AFI FEST 2009: A SINGLE MAN – Closing Night Gala
Colin Firth, Matthew Goode in A Single Man
AFI FEST 2009’s Closing Night Gala presentation, the US premiere of Tom Ford’s A Single Man, will take place at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on Thursday, November 5. (The festival, with screenings in Santa Monica, actually ends on Nov. 7.)
Based on a Christopher Isherwood novel, A Single Man chronicles a day — possibly the last one — in the life of a gay British college professor (Venice 2009 best actor Colin Firth) in the Los Angeles of the mid-’60s, as he seriously considers suicide following the unexpected death of his partner (Matthew Goode).
Written by Ford and David Scearce, A Single Man also features Julianne Moore (a likely best supporting actress Oscar contender) as a married woman attracted to the suicidal prof, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Nicholas Hoult.
Tom Ford, Colin Firth, and Julianne Moore are all scheduled to attend the Nov. 5 screening.
The Weinstein Company release of A Single Man is due in US theaters on December 11.
