The project will mark the third film from Ford, following on from 2009’s adaptation of Christopher Isherwood’s novel A Single Man, and the 2016 crime thriller Nocturnal Animals, which starred Amy Adams.
According to reports from Deadline, the upcoming movie will be an adaptation of the 1982 Anne Rice novel, Cry to Heaven. It follows an unlikely duo – a castrated maestro and a Venetian noble – who work together in the hopes of leaving their mark on the opera world.

The outlet reports that Adele is set to make her acting debut in the film, and she will star alongside huge names like Colin Firth, Mark Strong, Thandiwe Newton, Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and 15-year-old Owen Cooper. The latter had his breakthrough earlier this year in Netflix’s drama series Adolescence, and went on to become the youngest male Emmy winner.
Adele is currently on hiatus from music after completing a huge residency in Las Vegas and playing a handful of sold-out shows in Munich last year. She has hinted at a shift to acting before, previously suggesting that she was going to take part in the 2018 film The Death and Life of John F Donovan. (NME)
