Adele Makes Acting Debut in Tom Ford's 'Cry to Heaven', Set for Release in 2026
Singer-songwriter Adele is finally set to make her acting debut, starring alongside Colin Firth and Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the highly anticipated film adaptation of Anne Rice's novel, 'Cry to Heaven'. The movie, directed by fashion designer Tom Ford, is currently scheduled for release in late 2026.
Adele will be co-starring with an impressive ensemble cast, including Owen Cooper. Although she has never acted on screen before, the musical theme of the book and film seems tailor-made for her unique voice. Set in 18th-century Italian opera world, 'Cry to Heaven' tells the provocative story of two male soprano singers who underwent castration as boys to preserve their high-pitched voices.
Production is set to begin in London next January, with filming expected to wrap up before the end of the year. However, the details surrounding Adele's character remain under wraps. Interestingly, it has been reported that Tom Ford will be financing the film himself, having recently become a billionaire after selling his company to Estée Lauder.
The news comes as Adele takes a break from her music career, wrapping up her '30' tour with a Las Vegas residency last year and putting no new music in the works. Fans are eagerly awaiting any updates on whether she will be performing the film's theme song, having previously sung for James Bond's 'Skyfall'.
