Tom Ford’s Noc­tur­nal Ani­mals gets a tan­ta­lis­ing first trailer

14 Sep 2016

Words by Adam Woodward

The writer/director’s fol­low-up to A Sin­gle Man is a dark thriller star­ring Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Despite hav­ing only made just one movie, Tom Ford has estab­lished him­self as one of the most inter­est­ing direc­tors around. For his fol­low-up to 2009’s sub­lime A Sin­gle Man, the fash­ion design­er turned film­mak­er has recruit­ed the respec­tive act­ing tal­ents of Amy Adams and Jake Gyl­len­haal to tell the sto­ry of a divorced cou­ple who come to learn some dark, uncom­fort­able secrets about each other.

Adapt­ed from the nov­el ​‘Tony and Susan’ by Austin Wright, Noc­tur­nal Ani­mals promis­es to be a haunt­ing and – nat­u­ral­ly – styl­ish roman­tic thriller, at least that’s if the ear­ly word com­ing out of the Toron­to Inter­na­tion­al Film Fes­ti­val is any­thing to go by.
