"Adele will star in fashion designer Tom Ford's first film since 2016's Nocturnal Animals, an adaptation of Anne Rice's 1982 novel Cry to Heaven, per Deadline. Ford wrote the screenplay and will both direct and produce under his production company, Fade to Black. The book follows two men pursuing opera in 18th-century Italy - one, named Guido, is castrated to preserve his soprano singing voice, and the other, Tonio, is castrated by his brother Carlo in an attempt to control their family line."
"Nicholas Hoult and Colin Firth, who played excited college student Kenny and lonely professor George in the director's 2009 feature-film debut, A Single Man, will star along with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who won a Golden Globe for playing a sadistic gang leader in Nocturnal Animals. There is no confirmation yet as to who's playing whom. The large supporting cast is made up of more fashionable names, per Deadline."
