The singer will play one of the main roles in the upcoming film adaptation of Anne Rice's novel. Cry to the heavens
Those who want to continue Adele's 30released four years ago, may have to wait a little longer: she's about to spend a lot of time on set filming her first feature film.
How announced early this morning the British pop star was cast in Cry to the heavensfilm adaptation of Anne Rice's 1982 novel. Filming will begin in London in January. The film also stars Colin Firth, Aaron Taylor-Johnson (most recently in Kraven the Hunter And 28 years later), Owen Cooper and many others, scheduled for release in late 2026.
Despite the fact that Adele has never appeared on screen before (apart from her cameo role in a 2009 episode of the series). Ugly Betty), the musical motif of the book and film seems very appropriate to her. Rice's novel is set in the Italian opera world of the 1700s. Rice's novel tells, not for the squeamish, the stories of two soprano singers who were castrated as children to maintain their high voices. There is no information yet about what role Adele will play in the film.
The film will be directed and co-produced by Tom Ford, the fashion designer and director of the 2009 film. Lonely man and 2016 Nocturnal animals. Ford is reportedly financing the film himself, but it appears he can afford it: He officially became a billionaire in 2022 after selling his company to Estée Lauder.
Since I wrapped her up 30 tour with a residency in Las Vegas a year ago, Adele was on hiatus and there were no reports of new music in the works. Will she sing Cry to the heavens theme song like she did with Heavy rain? At the moment there are only rumors about this.
