Ireland is heading to the silver-screen yet again!
That’s right, following the success of The Banshees of Inisherin and The Quiet Girl, it’s no surprise Hollywood has an interest in Ireland. The latest film from our shore to get given the Hollywood treatment will be Four Letters of Love.
Adapted from the novel by Irish writer Niall Williams, it’s big screen counterpart will star James Bond’s Pierce Brosnan, Harry Potter’s Helena Bonham Carter, Little Women star Gabriel Byrne, Fionn O’Shea of Normal People fame, and Ann Skelly from Kissing Candice.

Filming for the project will start this month, primarily in Northern Ireland, before moving down south.
Four Letters of Love tells the story of Nicholas (played by O’Shea) and Isabel (played by Skelly) as two strangers who are destine to meet.
Brosnan will take on the part of Nicholas’ troubled father William, who leaves his job as a Dublin civil servant for the life a painter on an island in the west of Ireland.
Byrne will be playing Isabel’s father, a poet and headmaster at the island’s local school, with Bonham Carter playing his wife.
On the film, Alison Thompson and Mark Gooder of Cornerstone, the distributer of the film, said: “Irish story-telling is riding a wave of success in the international marketplace, and we’re delighted to bring this beautiful romantic modern classic to the European Film Market for buyers to enjoy.”
