Adele is to swap music for acting when she makes her film debut in the next movie by former fashion designer Tom Ford.
The singer will appear alongside big names including Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Colin Firth, Paul Bettany and Adolescence's breakthrough star Owen Cooper in Cry to Heaven.
It will be adapted from Anne Rice's 1982 novel, which is set in the 18th Century world of the "castrati" - male singing stars who were castrated to preserve their high voices.
Ford will direct, produce and write the film, but details of the roles to be played by Adele and the other cast members have not yet been revealed.
