Based on Niall Williams’ international bestselling novel of the same name, Four Letters of Love will hit cinema screens this summer in the UK and Ireland…
Vertigo Releasing has announced the magical romance Four Letters of Love, from award-winning filmmaker Polly Steele.
The film stars Pierce Brosnan (Black Adam, Mamma Mia Franchise, James Bond Franchise, Thomas Crown Affair), two-time Academy Award nominee and BAFTA Award-winner Helena Bonham Carter (Nolly, Harry Potter Franchise, The Crown, The King’s Speech) and Golden Globe-winner Gabriel Byrne (Lamborghini, Lies We Tell, War Of The Worlds, Hereditary) as parents of fated lovers played by rising stars Fionn O’Shea (Normal People, Dating Amber, Dance First) and Ann Skelly (The Nevers, Kissing Candice, Rose Plays Julie).
The story is a life-affirming tale about faith and doubt, maybes and almosts, and the miracle of love. 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 Western coast, leaving his shell shocked wife and son to fend for themselves.
Meanwhile, Isabel and her family live a charmed existence on a remote Western island, 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. Williams’ novel was first published in 1997 and was translated into more than 30 languages before he adapted it for the screen. The movie will be released in UK & Irish cinemas on 18th July 2025.
