Gay Fashion designer Tom Ford had great critical success when he turned director for 2009’s A Single Man, but it’s only now that he’s plotting his second feature, Nocturnal Animals, with Variety reporting that he’s got Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal in talks to star.
The movie is ‘Based on the novel by Austin Wright titled “Tony and Susan,” the plot is described as a story inside a story, with the first part following a woman named Susan who receives a book manuscript from her ex-husband, a man whom she left 20 years earlier, asking for her opinion.
‘The second element follows the actual manuscript, called “Nocturnal Animals,” which revolves around a man whose family vacation turns violent and deadly. It also continues to follow the story of Susan, who finds herself recalling her first marriage and confronting some dark truths about herself.’
Ford is set to write and direct, and while it’s early day in negotiations, it appears it’s Adams and Gyllenhaal who have been pushing to be cast, so there’s an extremely good chance they will sign on the dotted line.
It’s not clear when it will shoot.
