Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams want to be Tom Ford’s Nocturnal Animals
Variety reports that fashion designer Tom Ford is set to direct Nocturnal Animals, his second film of impeccably tailored anguish after A Single Man, and Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams are in talks to star. Based on the novel Tony And Susan by Austin Wright, the story follows Alice, a woman who receives a book manuscript from her ex-husband whom she left 20 years earlier. The second half of the story dramatizes the manuscript itself, entitled Nocturnal Animals, about a man whose family vacation turns deadly. As Alice reads the manuscript, she recalls her first marriage and must confront some “dark truths about herself.”
