Fashion titan Tom Ford has revealed he plans to shoot his second movie later this year, following the critical success of his debut 2009 feature film A Single Man.
Ford wowed an A-list crowd in Los Angeles on Friday by taking the unusual step of staging his London Fashion Week fall/winter show in the heart of Hollywood as the movie industry gathers for Sunday’s Oscars.
The American designer made a successful foray into film-making five years ago with A Single Man, a drama based on Christopher Isherwood’s novel of the same name, which earned an Oscar nomination for British actor Colin Firth.
Ford said at Friday’s show that he is now planning to go behind the camera once more later this year.
“I’m in the middle of casting it and plan to shoot it in the fall,” he said. “I’m excited because it’s been too long.
“But I have a business and I have a son and I promised myself I would wait till he’s three to make a new movie. Well, he’s turning three in the fall.”
The guest list of celebrity VIPs at Ford’s show on Friday read like a who’s who of Hollywood, and included Julianne Moore, who starred in A Single Man and who is a heavy favourite to win this year’s best actress Oscar for her performance in Still Alice.
