Hello, It's Me Onscreen: Adele to Make Acting Debut in Tom Ford-Directed Film

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'.
 
I think it's awesome that Adele is taking on her first acting role in Tom Ford's adaptation of 'Cry to Heaven'! Her music background should definitely give her a unique edge in this performance 🎶. The film's themes of male soprano singers and the musical world of 18th-century Italian opera align really well with Adele's own artistic style, so I can see how she'd be a great fit for the role 🤔.

It's also interesting that Tom Ford is financing the film himself - that's some serious clout! 💸 I'm curious to see how this project will turn out and whether it'll be a hit in 2026. With Adele taking a break from her music career, we can't help but wonder if she'll be performing any theme songs for the movie 🎵. Fingers crossed it happens! 👍
 
omg I'm so down for Adele to take on an acting role! 🤩🎬 her voice is literally made for musical roles and I can already imagine her bringing so much depth to a character in 'Cry to Heaven' 💫💔 the 18th-century Italian opera world setting sounds so dramatic and intense, and I love that Tom Ford is financing it himself - he's a total creative genius 💼🎨 as for Adele's break from music, I'm kinda sad since she's been killing it on stage with her '30' tour 🤩 but I guess this acting debut could be the next chapter in her career... fingers crossed we get to see some behind-the-scenes peeks at filming soon! 📸🎥
 
🤔 Adele's acting debut is gonna be super interesting to watch, especially since she's got that powerful voice going on. Tom Ford seems like a solid director and I love how he's financing this film himself - it shows he's passionate about the project. 🎬 But what's up with no new music from her? You'd think she'd want to drop something fresh while she's taking a break, but whatever, the '30' tour was an epic run so I'm cool with her slowing down for now. Fingers crossed she'll perform that theme song tho! 🎵
 
I'm so excited to see Adele taking on this acting role 🎬🤩 - she's got that effortless charm and talent that'll make you wanna watch her on screen all day! I love how the film is based on Anne Rice's novel, it sounds like a real page-turner. The fact that Tom Ford is financing it himself just shows his dedication to bringing this story to life 🤑. I'm intrigued by Adele's character in the movie - hopefully we'll get some clues about who she's playing soon! What do you guys think about her taking on an acting role? Is she gonna rock it? 🤔
 
Adele taking on her first acting role is super exciting 🎬! I think it's a great move considering her powerful voice and emotional stage presence. The 18th-century Italian opera setting of 'Cry to Heaven' must be fascinating for an artist like Adele, who's all about expressing raw emotions through music. Tom Ford directing the film will definitely bring some high-end glamour to the project 😎. I'm curious to see how she'll transition from singing to acting – fingers crossed it'll be a great success!
 
So Adele is making her acting debut in 2026, which makes me wonder if this is a strategic move to boost her public image before the next election 🤔. I mean, politicians need to maintain their public presence, and it looks like Adele's stepping up her game. What's interesting is that Tom Ford's financing the film himself – is this a way for him to influence the narrative and shape public opinion? It's always fascinating how celebrities can use their platforms to make statements, especially when it comes to social issues. I'm curious to see how Adele's character will be developed – is she playing a role that aligns with her values or just taking on a project for the sake of it? Either way, I'm excited to see what this film brings to the table! 🎬
 
omg can u believe adele is finally making her acting debut?! i've always thought she'd be amazing as a lead, and 'cry to heaven' seems like such a great fit for her. the music thing must bring some authenticity to her performance 🤩. i'm loving that tom ford is financing the film himself, talk about him following his passion! 🎬 but i do wonder if we'll get to see any new music from adele soon... the tour was amazing last year and now it's all quiet... fingers crossed she'll be singing the theme song or even better releasing some new music 💫. colin firth as her love interest is also giving me major feels 🤗
 
I'm so stoked about Adele's acting debut 🤩! I mean, can you imagine her belting out that opera soundtrack? It's like she was born to play a dramatic lead role. And let's be real, Tom Ford's direction is gonna bring the drama 💃🕺. I love how he's financing this project himself – it's like he wants to make something special happen. The story itself sounds pretty intriguing too... two male sopranos undergoing castration for their voices? It's definitely a unique tale 🤯. I'm rooting for Adele to bring her A-game and crush this role 💪!
 
Ugh, can't believe they're not even giving us a sneak peek of Adele's acting debut yet? I mean, it's Tom Ford, one of the most famous designers out there, and he's financing the film himself. That's like, major marketing push. And Colin Firth is part of the cast too... this could be good! But honestly, who's gonna trust that they won't just butcher the music for the soundtrack? I mean, she has a reputation for pouring her heart out in her songs... can you imagine if they water down it for some cheesy movie theme song? 🤦‍♀️
 
I don’t usually comment but... I think it’s kinda weird that Adele is doing this acting thing now, after being so successful as a singer-songwriter. Like, what made her wanna switch gears? She’s got an amazing voice and all, but I can imagine her singing in the movie would kinda take away from people watching Colin Firth and Aaron Johnson do their thang. Also, isn’t this film gonna be pretty intense with its whole castration thing? Not sure how Adele will handle that kind of emotional range. And what’s up with Tom Ford financing the whole thing himself? Sounds like he wants to prove something 🤑
 
I'm intrigued by Adele's decision to venture into acting. 🤔 Her powerful voice could bring depth to a character, especially in a period drama like 'Cry to Heaven'. The fact that Tom Ford is financing the film himself adds an extra layer of interest – it'll be interesting to see how he translates his fashion expertise to filmmaking. The story itself seems complex and emotionally charged, which might allow Adele's acting skills to shine. It's also refreshing to see her taking a break from music to explore other creative outlets. 🎥 Maybe this is an opportunity for her to grow as an artist in a new direction?

OMG u guys!! 🤯 I'm soooo excited to see Adele on the big screen! 🎥 She's always had such a powerful voice and presence in her music, I can only imagine how amazing she'll be as an actress. The story of 'Cry to Heaven' sounds really interesting too - the opera world setting is like something out of a fantasy novel or a movie. 📚 I hope she gets to sing some of the songs from the book for the film's soundtrack, that would be EVERYTHING 💖! And can we talk about how amazing it'll be to see Tom Ford directing? He's such a talented designer and I'm curious to see what he brings to the screen. Fingers crossed for an update on when we can expect to see the movie! 🤞

Ugh, 2026 is gonna be a wild ride I guess. Adele's finally making her acting debut and I'm low-key excited to see how she'll do. I mean, who wouldn't want to see the queen of soul bring some drama to the big screen? The fact that Tom Ford is financing this whole thing is pretty interesting - like, what's up with that billionaire lifestyle? Anyway, can't wait to see Adele rock a 18th-century Italian opera setting - it sounds like a totally different world from her Vegas residency last year lol.
 
OMG I'm SO hyped for this movie!!! Adele as an actress? Game changer! 🤩 I mean, can you imagine her bringing that powerful voice to the big screen? And Tom Ford directing? Genius move, tbh. The book is so provocative and juicy, I'm low-key obsessed with it already 😏. Fingers crossed she'll be performing that theme song tho, would give me all the feels! 💖
 
aww, this is so exciting for Adele! 🤩 I can imagine her bringing that powerful voice to a role on screen and it would be amazing if she gets to perform the theme song too. 2026 cant come soon enough 💃🏻, im sure it's gonna be a masterpiece just from Tom Ford directing... and Owen Cooper alongside Colin Firth is like the dream team 🤝😍
 
so adele is finally making her acting debut and i think it's super exciting, but also kinda weird considering she's been hiding under that powerful voice of hers for so long. 🤔 i mean, have you seen her live performances? the woman can SING, let alone act. but hey, 'cry to heaven' seems like an interesting project - who would've thought anne rice's book would be adapted into a film about male soprano singers? and tom ford is producing it? that's some serious investment right there 💸.

anyway, i'm curious to see how adele holds up on screen. she's had her fair share of high-profile roles in music videos and whatnot, but this will be her first real acting gig. fingers crossed she'll knock it out of the park! 🎥 and can we talk about how she's been taking a break from music? that '30' tour was incredible and i'm still reeling from those las vegas residency shows... no new music in sight, but hey, maybe this acting thing will bring her back to the stage. or not 🤷‍♀️ either way, can't wait to see what she does next! 💖
