Overview
- Variety-led reports and a Studiocanal trailer revealed on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, that Romeo Beckham is one of the leads in Forty Love and that promotional images and credits are now public.
- Pierre-Ange Carlotti directs and co-wrote the film with Gaëlle Macé, marking Carlotti’s first feature after a career as a fashion photographer.
- The principal cast includes Paul Kircher, Guillaume Canet, Benjamin Voisin and a special appearance by Catherine Deneuve, and the film is produced by Hugo Sélignac’s Chi-Fou-Mi.
- Chi-Fou-Mi’s official synopsis frames the story as a same-sex romance between rival professional tennis players that explores identity, ambition and emotional vulnerability without revealing plot outcomes.
- Forty Love is scheduled to open in French cinemas on 25 November 2026 and its combination of a high-profile Beckham debut, fashion-rooted direction and a soundtrack by 070 Shake and Johan Lenox positions the film to attract both mainstream attention and discussion about LGBTQ+ narratives in sports drama.
