Watch: Pierce Brosnan paints on the beach in 'Four Letters of Love'
The trailer shows William (Pierce Brosnan) walk out of his office job to become a painter, following the word of God. William invites his son, Nicholas (Fionn O'Shea) to join him on the shore while he paints.
Nicholas is in love with Isabel (Ann Skelly), but her parents (Helena Bonham-Carter and Gabriel Byrne) send her away to a convent school. Nicholas writes Isabel letters as he longs to reconnect with her.
Niall Williams wrote Four Letters of Love. Polly Steele directs.
Brosnan starred in the ensemble espionage drama Black Bag and on the Paramount+ drama MobLand. He spoke with UPI last year about his film The Last Rifleman while on the set of the upcoming Cliffhanger remake.
The year before, Brosnan shared memories of working with the late James Caan in Fast Charlie.

Box office, streaming war heats up after ‘Jurassic World Rebirth'
Box office or streaming? The tug-of-war has flipped more than a few times recently. When Covid shut down theaters across the globe, streaming platforms ruled, with some predicting the big screen's permanent demise. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter The 2025 box-office run is rewriting that script fast. However, one familiar dino flick might just be the box-office twist that sparks the comeback every cinephile has been itching for. Image source: Chung Sung-Jun/Getty Images When Covid shut down movie theaters, streaming platforms essentially became everyone's stay-at-home lifeline. For context, streaming giant Netflix (NFLX) alone clocked its biggest growth spurt in the fourth quarter of last year, adding a record 19 million paid subscribers. That took its tally to a mind-boggling 302 million members by year-end, a 48.3% jump from the end of 2020. Disney+ (DIS) rode the same wave, growing its subscriber base to 9 million in Q4 to hit 158.6 million global subscribers.

Meanwhile, relatively smaller streaming plays like Paramount+ (PARAA) and HBO Max, and newcomers like Apple TV+, each cleared the 40 million mark. Collectively, OTT subscriptions worldwide smashed past 1.5 billion, with studios pouring billions into fresh content. Nevertheless, the days of easy subscriber gains are over. Facing relatively slower growth, platforms are looking to squeeze more out of every viewer. Netflix's all-in on its ad-supported tier. Similarly, Disney's Bob Iger is doubling down on AVOD (ad-supported video on demand), and Amazon's Prime Video dropped ads on its standard plan, too. On the flip side, the box office is clawing back lost ground. After cratering over 80% at the pandemic's peak, North American theaters could potentially deliver north of $4 billion in summer ticket sales. That's a level last hit in 2019.

Horror has rebounded, too, surging to a 17% share of North American ticket sales from just 4% a decade ago. Hence, the big-screen comeback is alive, but the fight for living-room loyalty is still well and truly on. Comcast's "Jurassic World Rebirth" has essentially stomped its way to become one of 2025's biggest box-office wins so far. Over the July 4 weekend, the film grabbed a head-turning $91.5 million and $147.3 million in its first five days, pushing its global haul past the $318 million mark across 82 markets. After years of streaming chipping away at the box office, the July 4 weekend gave theaters a fresh boost.

That includes places like China with $41.5 million, along with the UK, Mexico, Germany, and South Korea. For Comcast (CMCSA) , the win is massive. It signals that audiences are still hungry for tentpole spectacles, even as platforms like Netflix and Disney+ hunt for subscriber growth in a post-pandemic slowdown. Nevertheless, the box office streaming wars have evolved into a delicate dance. With "Superman"up next and streaming giants pushing ahead, the future depends on striking the correct balance and keeping audiences hooked, whether at the multiplex or at home.

July 7 (UPI) -- Journalist Eva Pilgrim will serve as the next anchor of Inside Edition, replacing outgoing anchor Deborah Norville. Charles Lachman, executive producer of the newsmagazine series, announced Pilgrim will be joining the show as the series' anchor in the fall. Pilgrim most recently served as Senior National Correspondent and co-anchor of GMA3: What You Need to Know for ABC News. "We feel like we won the jackpot to have Eva join our team as the next anchor of Inside Edition," Lachman said. "She has solid news chops from her years as a reporter and anchor in national and local news, plus a warm relatability that resonates with audiences. We look forward to having a journalist of her caliber take Inside Edition into its next chapter." Norville announced in April that she would be stepping down after 30 years in the anchor's chair. "It has been an honor and a privilege to be here at Inside for all these years. A milestone like this is a time for reflection and on reflection I've decided that now is the time for me to move on from Inside Edition," she said on the show.
