Adele<\/a> is set to make her acting debut in the new film from Tom Ford.<\/p>\n

According to Deadline<\/a>, the fashion designer and film-maker\u2019s third feature will be an adaptation of Anne Rice\u2019s 1982 novel Cry to Heaven, a drama set in 18th century Italy.<\/p>\n

The singer will star alongside Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ciar\u00e1n Hinds, Thandiwe Newton, Colin Firth, Mark Strong, Hunter Schafer, Daryl McCormack, George MacKay, Paul Bettany and Adolescence breakout Owen Cooper. The 15-year-old, who became one of the youngest ever winners<\/a> of a primetime Emmy award for his role in the Netflix drama, will next be seen in Emerald Fennell\u2019s adaptation of Wuthering Heights.<\/p>\n

The story follows two unlikely collaborators trying to succeed in the world of opera: a Venetian noble and a castrated maestro from Calabria. The New York Times Book Review\u2019s Alice Hoffman called<\/a> it \u201cbold and erotic, laced with luxury, sexual tension, music\u201d while the Washington Post\u2019s Joseph McLellan called it \u201can absorbing look at a fascinating and little-known world\u201d.<\/p>\n

The film will mark Ford\u2019s third film after the Oscar-nominated Christopher Isherwood adaptation A Single Man and the dual narrative thriller Nocturnal Animals starring Amy Adams. In 2023, Ford said he was now more interested in film than fashion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved making the two films that I made,\u201d he said in a GQ interview<\/a>. \u201cThat was the most fun I\u2019ve ever had in my entire life. I\u2019m 62. Hopefully, I\u2019ll remain somewhat together until 82. So I wanna spend the next 20 years of my life making films. And the clock is ticking. And so it was time to say goodbye to fashion. Fashion is a younger man\u2019s game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cry to Heaven is in pre-production in both London and Rome this year and the shoot will begin in January with a release date eyed for later in 2026.<\/p>\n

Adele had previously been rumoured to make her acting debut in The Death and Life of John F Donovan from Xavier Dolan who directed her video for Hello. \u201cI\u2019m sure I\u2019ll get some flak for this, but I actually would like to act after working with Xavier,\u201d she said at the time. \u201cI would be in a film for him, definitely.\u201d<\/p>\n

While a song of hers appeared in the final cut, the singer herself ultimately didn\u2019t. The film received mostly negative reviews with a 19% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/p>\n

Last year, after a string of sell-out shows in Munich, Adele announced she would be taking an indefinite break from music.<\/p>\n

Cry to Heaven follows on from a string of recent Anne Rice<\/a> TV adaptations including a new take on Interview with the Vampire, Mayfair Witches and Talamasca: The Secret Order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adele is set to make her acting debut in the new film from Tom Ford.
