It seems like everything Tom Ford touches turns to gold. He revitalized the Gucci empire before leaving to explore other creative avenues, and his fragrance lines are hot sellers (thanks, in no small part, to those provocative, clothes-free promotional photo shoots that always accompany his new commercial ventures).

So what's stopping him from entering the movie business?

Not much, if the official rumors that involve him circling Christopher Isherwood's 1964 novel, A Single Man, are true.

Reports are that Ford wants to make his debut feature based on the story, about a day in the life of a gay man in Los Angeles during the era just before the gay liberation movement caught fire.

If nothing else, the designer will know how to make it all "pop" visually. And in movies, that's half the battle.
