It does look like it may be worth a watch. I cannot say that about too many films now-a-days. With that being said, does anyone know the opening day for the film?
Set in Los Angeles in 1962, at the height of the Cuban missile crisis, A Single Man is the story of George Falconer, a 52 year old British college professor (Firth) who is struggling to find meaning to his life after the death of his long time partner, Jim (Matthew Goode). George dwells on the past and cannot see his future as we follow him through a single day, where a series of events and encounters, ultimately leads him to decide if there is a meaning to life after Jim. George is consoled by his closest friend Charley (Moore), a 48 year old beauty who is wrestling with her own questions about the future. A young student of George's, Kenny (Nicholas Hoult), who is coming to terms with his true nature, stalks George as he feels in him a kindred spirit. A Single Man is a romantic tale of love interrupted, the isolation that is an inherent part of the human condition, and ultimately the importance of the seemingly smaller moments in life.
Colin Firth won Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival.
The film is scheduled to play at the London Film Festival on October 16th and at the Tokyo Film Festival on October 19th.

'A Single Man' was screened Thursday night during the Closing Night Gala of the American Film Institute Festival. The movie, based on Christopher Isherwood's novel, marks fashion designer Tom Ford's directorial debut.
Tom told ET, "It's the kind of thing that you dream about. You're not sure if it'll ever really happen and then when it does, it's absolutely surreal." New to the process of movie-making, he admitted, "Editing surprised me. It wasn't hard, I loved it, but I really...didn't understand what could happen in an editing room."
Colin Firth, who plays the lead character George, received a BAFTA Award for Humanitarianism directly after the screening. Tom praised the star, saying, "Colin as an actor, he is so subtle and nuanced and he can communicate without moving a thing on his face. He can really telegraph what his character is feeling and I think he inhabited this role beautifully…"
'He's Just Not that Into You' actress Ginnifer Goodwin plays a small role in 'A Single Man,' but she enjoyed her three days on set, remembering, "I got to follow Colin Firth around like a puppy dog." Of Tom's leap from fashion to calling the shots, she said, "We knew that Tom knew how to tell a story visually and we found out that he knows how to tell a story narratively as well. He aesthetically and tonally knows exactly what he wants."
Director of Michael Jackson's 'This is It,' Kenny Ortega, shared his philosophy behind making his film, saying, "Just put the truth up there on the screen, show Michael in all his glory, you know a master of his craft; a real genius entertainer of entertainers. You know watching him through the process interacting with all of us…The fans are the ones that wanted this film and they wanted to know what Michael had planned for them…"
'A Single Man,' set in Los Angeles, chronicles the life of a gay British college professor as he comes to terms with the death of his partner.
The movie will be released in theaters on December 11.

While the heterosexualized poster for Tom Ford’s not-so-heterosexual “A Single Man” caused a wee stir last week, it seems the recently released trailer has just re-enforced those complaints.
A comparative study of the trailer that Tom Ford’s production company released as the film premiered in Venice and Toronto and the trailer The Weinstein Company just put out tells quite the tale. The new trailer uses the same music and mostly the same shots, except it adds in a bunch of quotes that not-so-subtly emphasize the film’s Oscar buzz, leaving out a few choice shots - pretty much all of which are suggestive of the film’s gay content.
The new trailer essentially is altered to suggest the core of the film is the relationship between Colin Firth and Julianne Moore’s characters, even removing from the end of the trailer the names of both Matthew Goode and Nicholas Hoult (who play Firth’s love interests). Moreover, in the first trailer, we see Firth’s character kiss both Goode and Moore, in the second we just get Moore. There’s also a sequence of shots in the first trailer which crosscuts Firth, who plays a professor in the film, staring into the eyes of both a female student and a male student. In the second, as you might guess, we only get the female (in a telling twist, instead of cutting to the male eyes, the trailer cuts to a quote from Entertainment Weekly saying “[Firth’s] performance is bound to win attention in this year’s Oscar race”).
Gone completely in the new trailer are a few shots of Firth running into the smoking (literally and figuratively) male prostitute outside a liquor store (one of the film’s more homoerotic sequences), as well as a few shots of him and Hoult running romantically and shirtlessly into the ocean together.

Colin Firth looks like a pedophile in the trailer (he ISN'T, just so we know). But the movie looks beautiful and I can't wait to see it.
Seems interesting, and Julianne Moore is always a reason to see a film, but what a horrible trailer!
I love the original trailer, the de-gayed one, not so much.
Opens friday in New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

And Toronto!
The movie's very gorgeous. Watch out for the bank scene it's subtle and it's touching. And check out the book too, guys.

Now that the film has been "de-gayed" I have lost interest in seeing it because I have been following the film as a gay flick and was dissapointed to hear about all the changes to the original story line.

What changes? Colin Firth's still gay in the movie. There's just no wang showing.
The trailer's been de-gayed, sure. And there's always a synopsis.
