Pierce Brosnan bid a fond farewell to Ireland as he wrapped on his latest project “Four Letters of Love.”

Helena Bonham Carter (The Crown), Gabriel Byrne (War Of The Worlds), Fionn O'Shea (Normal People), and Ann Skelly (The Nevers) also star in the upcoming romantic picture.

It follows the tale of Nicolas Coughlan and Isabel Gore who were made for each other – it’s a glorious, uplifting story about faith, about seizing the moment, believing in your instincts and acting on impulse.

Filming took place here in Ballymena, Ballycastle and Carrickfergus, before moving to Donegal.

Pierce shared some lovable snaps with his wife from his stay with the caption: “We have had the most memorable of times in the company of all while making “The Four Letters of Love”.

“The luck of the Irish was with us as the sun shone upon us during the filming.”

What is Four Letter of Love about?

Four Letter of Love is based on Niall Williams international bestselling novel, first published in 1997 and was translated into more than 30 languages before he adapted it for the screen.

Northern Ireland Screen helped fund the shoot, a synopsis on their website reads:

“Nicholas Coughlan (O’Shea) and Isabel Gore (Skelly) are fated to be together. That is as sure as the sky is blue and the sea is ever changing. The question is whether or not they will ever find out. As ghosts, fate and the sheer power of true love pull Nicholas and Isabel together, so too does life threaten to tear them apart.

One sunny winter morning, Nicholas’ father, William (Brosnan), believes he’s spoken to by God, changing his life forever. He quits his job and, following divine instruction, redirects all his passion and energy into painting, leaving his dependent wife, Bette, and son to fend for themselves.

Isabel lives a charmed, simple existence on the island, with her father (Byrne), the poet and master of the school, and her wise, intuitive mother (Bonham Carter), until the tragic day her younger brother, Sean, a musical genius, has a paralysing fit while he accompanies her dancing. Isabel, weighed down by guilt, opts to go to school on the mainland, in search of fresh experiences and a chance to forget.”
