Wildcard Distribution and Vertigo Releasing are excited to announce the magical romance "Four Letters of Love," from award-winning filmmaker Polly Steele.
Based on Niall Williams’ international bestselling novel of the same name, and starring Pierce Brosnan, Gabriel Byrne and Helena Bonham Carter, the film will be released in Irish cinemas this summer.
Shot on location in Donegal and Antrim, "Four Letters of Love" is a life-affirming tale about faith and doubt, maybes and almosts, and the miracle of love.
The film stars former James Bond Pierce Brosnan, two-time Academy Award® nominee and BAFTA Award-winner Helena Bonham Carter, and Golden Globe-winner Gabriel Byrne as parents of fated lovers played by Irish rising stars Fionn O’Shea and Ann Skelly.
Nicholas (O’Shea) and Isabel (Skelly) are made for each other, but as destiny pulls them together, so do family, passion, and faith drive them apart.
Nicholas’ father, William (Brosnan), comes home one day to shatter his family’s quiet, modest life. He tells them that after a moment of divine revelation, he has decided to dedicate his life to painting. He quits his job and sets off for the West Coast, leaving his shell-shocked wife and son to fend for themselves.
Meanwhile, Isabel and her family live a charmed existence on a remote island off the West Coast, their house full of music and poetry. When tragedy strikes and her brother suffers a terrible accident, the music stops, and Isabel’s mother (Bonham Carter) and father (Byrne) decide in their grief to send Isabel to a convent school on the mainland.
The young lovers embark on their own individual journeys of heartache and misplaced love, before fate contrives to pull the threads of their lives together. When they meet, it is a miracle.
"Four Letters of Love" is a Genesius Pictures, AX1 Films and Port Pictures production in association with London Town Films. It is produced by BAFTA Award nominee Debbie Gray ("Good Luck to You, Leo Grande"), Douglas Cummins ("Let Me Go"), and Irish producer Martina Niland ("Once," "Sing Street"). The film is funded by Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland, with the support of WRAP (the Western Region Audiovisual Producer’s Fund) and Northern Ireland Screen.
Williams’ beloved novel was first published in 1997 and was translated into more than 30 languages before he adapted it for the screen.
"Four Letters of Love" will be released in Irish and UK cinemas on July 18, 2025.
