Ammonite Trailer Sets Kate Winslet And Saoirse Ronan In Love On The Shores Of The English Sea

Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan star in the upcoming romantic drama Ammonite, a film about discovery, fossils, and forbidden love.

Named after an extinct fossil, Ammonite features the story of paleontologist Mary Anning. Set in the 1840s, Kate Winslet stars as Mary, an aging paleontologist who works on England’s rocky  coastline. Once famous for her finds, she has put aside her momentous work and resorted to selling basic fossils to visiting tourists, in order to support her ailing mother. Enter Saoirse Ronan, starring as Charlotte Murchinson, a wife suffering in the throes of “melancholia.” When Charlotte’s husband offers Mary a handsome fee to become her wife’s companion, the two embark on a life changing journey. 

Mary’s brusk and proud demeanor pit her and Charlotte as unwilling colleagues, personalities and passion clashing next to the sea. But as the two grow closer, they realize that they have more to offer than they thought. For better or worse, Ammonite tells the story of an all consuming love affair, destined to change the two of them forever. 

Written and directed by Francis Lee, writer of God’s Own Country, the film received its main stars in 2018, when Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan officially signed on to the production. Other cast members Fiona Shaw, James McArdle, and Gemma Jones signed on soon after. 

While Ammonite was set to debut at the Cannes Film Festival and feature at Telluride Film Festival, their cancellations have pushed the film’s debut back repeatedly. It is now scheduled to debut at the Toronto Film Festival in September, although organizers have not established whether the event will be fully in-person. The theater release date has yet to be announced.
