(Photo by Dominique Charriau/WireImage) Dominique CharriauWireImage by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Sep 15, 2016 7:02 PM UTC Fashion designer Tom Ford made a splash with his directorial debut, the 2009 film [_A Single Man_](http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1942819%5F1942818%5F1942808,00.html)_,_ so expectations are high for his sophomore effort, _Nocturnal Animals_. The film, which stars Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal, premiered at the Venice Film Festival earlier this month, and now that the trailer was released Thursday, the general public can get its first glimpse as the first trailer has finally been released. In _Nocturnal Animals_, which is based on Austin Wright’s 1993 novel _Tony and Susan_, Adams stars as Susan, an art gallery owner who is shaken up by the return of her ex-husband Edward (Gyllenhaal) who has written a novel based on their relationship. Based on the trailer, it looks like a sleek, stylish thriller that captures the visual splendor that has become Ford’s cinematic hallmark. _Nocturnal Animals_ will be in theaters on November 18\.
