A Single Man a Go

Per EW.com, the film adaptation of the classic Christopher Isherwood novel A Single Man will start filming next month under the direction of fashion mogul-turned-first time director Tom Ford (as previously reported).

The story, set in 1962, depicts one day in the life of George (to be played by Colin Firth), a gay middle-aged Englishman who works as a college professor in Los Angeles, whose lover Jim (Matthew Goode, of this year's Brideshead Revisited and next year's Watchmen) has recently died in a car accident. Julianne Moore will also star.

UPDATE: Big Love's Ginnifer Goodwin and About a Boy's Nicholas Hoult (as a "sexually ambiguous grad student who shows an unusual interest in" George) have joined the cast.
