Tom Ford’s A Single Man [watch the trailer] was picked up by the Weinstein company early Tuesday, shortly after the film’s premiere. An all-night negotiation led to the purchase, with Alliance picking up the Canadian release of the picture. Ford spoke up on the differences between film and fashion, and bristled at questions focused only on the latter. “Fashion is a commercially creative outlet, whereas film is purely impressionistic,” he said. The former Gucci designer went on to say that the film’s costumes were “to serve these characters. It wasn’t a costume parade for me.” [Eye Weekly, Toronto Life]

Lisa Kudrow likes playing the bad girl. Love and Other Impossible Pursuits [see our pics from the premiere] features Kudrow as the bitter ex-wife whose hubby has left her for Natalie Portman. At the press conference for the film yesterday, the ex-friend said, she likes to be cast as “the worst human being in the world. It’s fun to play, especially if it’s a comedic horrible woman.” [Globe & Mail]
