Jamie Dornan and Caitriona Balfe both took to social media this week to celebrate some exciting news!

The two actors will be starring in the upcoming movie Belfast, a semi-autobiographical film written and directed by Kenneth Branagh. It was just announced that the movie has been acquired by Focus Features for a worldwide release.

Belfast is about “a boy’s childhood during the tumult of the late 1960s in the Northern Ireland capital,” according to Deadline. Jamie and Caitriona will “play a glamorous working-class couple caught up in the mayhem” with Judi Dench and Ciarin Hinds as the grandparents.

Jamie posted the news story on his Instagram Stories and said, “Thanks Focus Features.”

Caitriona posted to her Instagram feed and wrote, “So excited that our film Belfast has found a home @focusfeatures … So proud of this film and can’t wait to share it with you all.”

Kenneth said in a statement, “Belfast is my most personal film. It’s about coming home – a dramatic journey of excitement, emotion and humour. To be embraced by filmmakers and distributors of such proven imagination and talent as Focus is fantastic. We are honoured to partner with Peter Kujawski and his amazing team. With the incredible support of Northern Ireland Screen also in the mix, we are very excited for the future of Belfast in cinemas around the world in 2021.”
