A relatively long list of movies -- some having screened previously at festivals from Venice to Sundance to Cannes -- is available for distribution, many with high-caliber pedigrees and strong advance buzz. One of the most anticipated is “A Single Man,” designer Tom Ford’s first filmmaking foray, a character study into the interior life of a gay man, played by Colin Firth. Others include "Get Low,” starring Robert Duvall as a hermit who wants to stage his own funeral and “Creation,” with Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly. Movies including “Fish Tank,” about an angry, working class British girl, and “Agora,” a Roman-era film by Alejadro Amenabar, have been available since their debut in Cannes.
