Adele said: "I'm very excited to be able to share the news that I have been casted for a short film

"'The Score' is a rule-bending, darkly comedic thriller that takes the tropes of heroes and villains and asks: 'is anyone who they really think they are?'

"Brought to you by the team behind the award-winning horror Out at Night, The Score promises to be an exciting blend of tension, comedy and social commentary - one that's quick on the draw with its thrills, and quicker with its smarts.

"It's a film that will get into the heads of its characters and audience, and under the skin of genre cinema.

"The Score will be seen at major festivals in the aim of reaching some big streaming platforms.

"I'm very grateful for this opportunity and excited to venture into something out of my ordinary comfort zone."
