Adele To Make Acting Debut In Tom Ford's CRY TO HEAVEN Based On Anne Rice's Novel

English singer-songwriter Adele has signed on to star in the upcoming thriller "Cry to Heaven" written and directed by Tom Ford ("Nocturnal Animals", "A Single Man") based on the Anne Rice ("Interview With the Vampire") novel of the same name. The film is currently in pre-production in London and Rome. Filming will begin in mid-January, and it's expected to be released late autumn 2026.

Set in 18th century Italy, the novel follows the paths of two unlikely collaborators: a Venetian noble and a castrated singer from Calabria, both trying to succeed in the world of the opera. The story touches on themes of identity, betrayal, love and the pursuit of artistic and personal freedom.

The cast also includes Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor Johnson, Ciarán 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 Hannemann and Lux Pascal.

Ford is also producing through his Fade To Black production company. The filmmaker is self-financing the project, with plans to take it out to market after production has ended. The former Gucci and YSL creative director sold his Tom Ford fashion label to the Estée Lauder Companies for $2.8 billion in 2023.
