In 2024, the performer of Hello and Rolling in the Deep had, however, stated that she wanted to explore new artistic avenues, choosing at the same time to take a music break.
She ultimately settled on cinema, ready to swap the stage for movie sets and to dive into a completely new creative universe.
A Five-Star Cast
According to industry trade outlets, the British artist Adele is about to take her first steps in cinema by joining the cast of the film Cry to Heaven, directed by Tom Ford.
This project draws inspiration from the eponymous novel by Anne Rice and leans on a rich and largely unexplored cinematic universe: eighteenth-century Italy, at the heart of the opera world and the “castrati,” those male singers castrated in childhood to preserve a soprano voice.
The role Adele will play has not yet been disclosed, which adds to the suspense and fuels speculation: some suggest she could portray a central character with a strong musical dimension, while others imagine a supporting role or a memorable symbolic cameo.
She will share the screen with a prestigious cast that includes Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor‑Johnson, Colin Firth, Paul Bettany, Thandiwe Newton and Hunter Schafer, among others. A lineup that testifies to the scale and ambition of the film.
The project, with filming set to begin in early 2026 in London and Rome, is already described as a potentially watershed moment in Adele’s career, and as a work likely to leave a mark on cinema history thanks to its historical setting, its musical dimension, and the direction of Tom Ford.
Anne Rice’s Not-First Rodeo
If you’re not aware, several works by Anne Rice have indeed been adapted for cinema or television, since her lush, Gothic universe has left a lasting mark on modern literature.
The most famous example remains Interview with the Vampire, brought to the screen under the same title, a cult classic that featured Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Antonio Banderas and Kirsten Dunst. This adaptation not only enjoyed immense box-office success but also helped popularize a new, more intimate, sensuous, and psychological vision of the vampire myth.
The atmospheric style and deeply introspective writing of Anne Rice translate particularly well to cinema, which explains why her novels have repeatedly drawn directors seeking dense and visually striking storytelling.
Over the years, her works have inspired other projects, in both film and television, and interest in her universes remains unabated, as evidenced by the forthcoming Cry to Heaven adaptation.
This underscores the enduring impact of her imagination and the ongoing fascination her narratives hold for audiences and the entertainment industry.
