"It will be adapted from Anne Rice's 1982 novel, which is set in the 18th Century world of the "castrati" - male singing stars who were castrated to preserve their high voices.

The cast will also include Ciaran Hinds, George MacKay, Mark Strong, Hunter Schafer and Thandiwe Newton, according to US media including Deadline, which first reported the news."
"Ford, meanwhile, has been one of the biggest names in fashion, but has also made two highly acclaimed and stylish films - A Single Man, starring Firth and Hoult, in 2009; and Nocturnal Animals, which earned him two Bafta nominations, in 2016. He sold his self-titled fashion house to Estee Lauder for $2.8bn (2.4bn) in 2022, before saying he would "say goodbye to fashion" and "spend the next 20 years of my life making films"."
