"Adele is set to make her acting debut in a drama by fashion designer and filmmaker Tom Ford. The singer, 37, will star in Cry To Heaven, an adaptation of Anne Rice's 1982 historical novel, according to Deadline. The film is in pre-production in London and Rome this year, and will start shooting in January, with a release date expected in late 2026."

"Adele will appear alongside Adolescence breakout star Owen Cooper and other actors including Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Thandiwe Newton, Colin Firth, Hunter Schafer, George MacKay, Daryl McCormack, Ciaran Hinds, and Paul Bettany. This marks Ford's third feature film, and his first movie in nearly a decade. The story follows two male sopranos in the world of opera in 18th century Italy."
