Adele
Hello to the Other Screen …
Will Star in Tom Ford Film

Adele‘s saying “Hello” to the acting industry … nailing down her first role on the silver screen in Tom Ford‘s upcoming period piece.
The singer-songwriter will flex her acting chops in “Cry to Heaven” … a new movie based on the 1982 Anne Rice novel of the same name.
“Cry to Heaven” takes place in 18th century Italy and follows the dynamic between two men … one a Venetian noble — the other a castrated opera singer.
Unclear who Adele will play at this time … though with opera taking on a key element in the film, we’d guess she’s going to flex her dynamic pipes in the flick.
Adele’s certainly being thrown into the deep end with this one, BTW … ’cause Hollywood heavyweights Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Paul Bettany, Thandiwe Newton, and Colin Firth are also attached to the movie.
It shouldn’t come as a shock to Adele fans that she’s branching out from music … last year she told reporters she was taking a break from music to explore other creative passions — and apparently that means acting.
If you don’t know, Anne Rice’s books have been adapted into several feature-length films … most notably when “Interview with the Vampire” was made into the 1994 box-office smash of the same name.
Adele’s used to “Rolling in the Deep” … but, we’re guessing producers are just hoping they’ll all be “Rolling in the Dough” when the movie hits theaters next year!
