Tom Ford’s directorial debut, an adaptation of the 1964 Christopher Isherwood classic A Single Man, has been picked up for U.S. and German distribution by the Weinstein Brothers following all-night negotiations at the Toronto Film Festival, Variety reports. The article includes a photo of Colin Firth (who co-stars with Julianne Moore), looking accurately weathered in the lead role of George, a Brit expat and lit professor who lives in L.A. Exacting and brilliant, Isherwood depicts a day-in-the-life of the crotchety George à la Mrs. Dalloway. Ford tapped Arianne Phillips, Madonna’s stylist who got a 2006 Oscar nod for costume design in the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line, to set film’s sartorial mood. —Krista Jennings
