Official ‘A Single Man’ trailer, poster debut
Have I mentioned how excited I am for this movie? I’m a huge Julianne Moore fan and am still waiting on the day she gets her much-deserved Oscar. The new trailer for “A Single Man” actually quotes someone as saying “there is already Oscar buzz for Julianne Moore.” So that’s why I’m so excited.
Of course the rest of the movie looks fantastic as well. It looks like a believable period piece. I am perplexed about one thing though. The movie is doing something odd with the marketing. They’re telling us very little about the movie and telling absolutely nothing about the main character’s (Colin Firth) sexuality. He’s gay, but you’d never know from the trailer and poster. Interesting. Of course being gay in the early 1960s was a completely different issue.
Oh well, as long as Julianne Moore finally gets her Oscar I’ll be A Happy Man.

I am absolutely appalled at the Weinstein trailer and poster. I loved the film (I picked it as one of my top 3 favorites from Toronto out of 30 films I saw) but was dumbfounded at how they are using Moore’s presence to fool audiences into thinking her role is much larger than it is. Meanwhile, Hoult appears for a fraction of a second in the trailer.
I love Julianne Moore but she is simply not central to this film.
I am simply disgusted at the marketing which appears to be underway.
