Rice’s novel has been described as a story of music and vengeance set in eighteenth-century Italy. The novel follows two castrated men who fight to succeed in the world of opera. Cry To Heaven touches on themes of “identity, betrayal, love, and the pursuit of artistic and personal freedom.”

Ford has penned and directed two films: 2009’s A Single Man and 2016’s Nocturnal Animals. A Single Man starred Firth as a gay college professor struggling to cope with the death of his lover. Firth garnered significant critical acclaim for his performance and received an Oscar nomination for Best Actor.

Nocturnal Animals is a psychological thriller about an art gallery owner forced to examine her past mistakes while reading the manuscript of her ex-husband. Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor-Johnson, and Michael Shannon headlined the cast. Taylor-Johnson won a Golden Globe for supporting actor, while Shannon received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
