Tom Ford’s next movie, psychic advises Isaac Mizrahi, Coach sues Target and more

We’re all still basking in the afterglow of Tom Ford’s directorial debut A Single Man, and he’s already got another project in the works. The designer-turned director has penned a new script that he says is “very different” from his first film, going on to say, “I don’t want to talk about it yet. I just finished editing two weeks ago, so it’s not out of my system yet.” Ford doesn’t want to talk about his women’s line either, but apparently the target launch date is fall 2011, with the company already seeking $50 million in funding.
