Those hungering for a follow-up to Adele\u2019s 30<\/a><\/em>, released four years ago, might have to wait a little longer: She\u2019s about to spend a good amount of time on a movie set, starring in her first feature film.<\/p>\n As announced<\/a> early today, the British pop star has been cast in Cry to Heaven<\/em>, a film adaptation of Anne Rice\u2019s 1982 novel. Set to start filming in London in January, the movie also stars Colin Firth, Aaron Taylor-Johnson (most recently in Kraven the Hunter<\/em> and 28 Years Later<\/em>), Owen Cooper, and more, and is currently scheduled for release in late 2026.<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Even though Adele has never acted onscreen before (unless you count that cameo as herself in a 2009 episode of Ugly Betty<\/em>), the book and movie\u2019s musical motif seems very much in her wheelhouse. Set in the Italian opera world of the 1700s, Rice\u2019s novel tells the not-for-the-squeamish story of two male soprano singers who were castrated as boys in order to maintain their high voices. No word yet on which role Adele will play in the movie.<\/p>\n The film will be directed and co-produced by Tom Ford, the fashion designer and director of 2009\u2019s A Single Man<\/em> and 2016\u2019s Nocturnal Animals<\/em>. Ford is reportedly financing the film himself, but apparently he can afford to: In 2022, he officially became a billionaire after selling his company to \u00a0Est\u00e9e Lauder.<\/p>\n Since wrapping up her 30<\/em> tour with a Las Vegas residency a year ago, Adele has been on a break, with no reports of new music in the works. Will she sing the Cry to Heaven<\/em> theme song, as she did with Skyfall<\/em>? At this point, only rumor has it. <\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
