Tom Fordhad premiered his first two features in Venice Fest: A Single Man in 2009 won Best Actor for star Colin Firth (and then Oscar nomination) and Nocturnal Animals took the 2016 Grand Jury Prize.
Adapted from the Anne Rice novel, Cry to Heaven is about an 18th century Venetian noble and a maestro castrato from Calabria who team up to make it big in the opera world.
The Italian setting and the stacked cast, featuring Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, George MacKay and Adele, make Venice the most likely launch for his new film as well.
