Principal photography for Tom Ford’s latest cinematic endeavor, “Cry to Heaven,” has officially concluded in Italy, according to local media reports.
The film serves as an adaptation of Anne Rice’s acclaimed novel of the same name. Set against the atmospheric backdrop of 18th-century Venice, the narrative explores the poignant and dramatic lives of castrati opera singers.
The production features a stellar ensemble cast, including Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Adele, Colin Firth, Owen Cooper, George MacKay, Ciarán Hinds, Thandiwe Newton, Hunter Schafer, Paul Bettany, and Mark Strong.
While a definitive release date remains unconfirmed, industry insiders speculate that the film may premiere at the Venice Film Festival this autumn. Distribution will be handled by Focus Features and Universal Pictures.
This project marks Ford’s third directorial outing, following his previous successes with the period drama “A Single Man” and the psychological thriller “Nocturnal Animals.”
