Singer Adele is set to make her acting debut in a new movie from director and fashion designer Tom Ford titled Cry to Heaven, according to People.
The movie is adapted from author Anne Rice`s 1982 book, which follows “two men castrated to ensure their perfect soprano voices” in 18th-century Italy, according to the author`s website.
She will be seen along with Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ciaran Hinds, George MacKay, Mark Strong, Colin Firth, Paul Bettany, Owen Cooper, Daniel Quinn-Toye, Hunter Schafer, Josephine Thiesen, Thandiwe Newton, Theodore Pellerin, Daryl McCormack, Cassian Bilton, Hauk Hannenmann and Lux Pascal, according to multiple outlets.
Ford wrote the movie`s screenplay and will also direct and produce the film. The movie will begin filming in London and Rome for an intended fall 2026 release.
Cry to Heaven will mark Ford`s third feature film as a writer, producer and director. He made his debut in 2009 with A Single Man, which starred Firth and Hoult.
Rice`s book, Cry to Heaven, follows two men, Guido Maffeo and Tonio Treshi, whose lives become intertwined in Venice when Guido takes him on as a student as Tonio pursues his dream of singing, according to People.
“Guido Maffeo is castrated at age 6 and enters the conservatory. He becomes a star until he loses his voice. When his voice is gone, he becomes a teacher, searching for a boy who can fulfil his lost dream,” reads a synopsis for the novel, in part.
Adele completed a residency in Las Vegas in November 2024 and hinted throughout last fall that she would be taking a break from the public eye after it ended. She most recently stepped out at a Formula One Grand Prix event in Texas in October, according to People.
