The life of Mother Teresa will be celebrated in a new film, titled "The Letters," just as talk of her canonization increases.

According to a press release, the film, directed and written by William Riead, chronicles the life of Mother Teresa through a series of letters she wrote to a spiritual director through out a 40-year period.

The film will give a look into the struggles the late nun, who died in Sept. 5, 1997 in India, faced and were unknown to the general public while also following her time working with the poor in India's slums.

Starring in the film are British actress Juliet Stevenson, Academy Award nominee Max Von Sydow and Golden Globe winner Rutger Hauer.

Mother Teresa is currently the subject of much talk for a possible canonization by the Catholic Church. Italian news agency Agi announced Mother Teresa would be canonized as a saint on Sept. 5, 2016, falling within the Holy Year of Mercy and marking the anniversary of her death.

Regardless of dedicating her life to helping those less fortunate and spreading a message of peace and missionary work through out her lifetime, to be considered for sainthood two miracles are required, although there have been exceptions.

The first miracle associated with Mother Teresa is the healing of Monica Besra in India. According to Newsweek, Besra explained she was healed of cancer after a beam of light coming from a picture of the late nun touched her.

While the doctor treating Besra denied the claim and attributed her cure to medicine the event is still a mystery. Since then a second miracle has been reported to have occurred in relation to the nun.

Fr. Elmira Ferreira Santos, a parish priest from Brazil, reportedly revealed to the Vatican a man from his parish, who was suffering from brain tumors, was healed after his wife began praying to Mother Teresa. The man, who at the time was being cared for in a hospital, was able to get up and walk out of the intensive care unit. The story was intriguing enough to get the Vatican to send officials to investigate the claims.

No official statement about Mother Teresa's canonization has been released by the Vatican.

Check out the official trailer for the film, which premieres nationwide on Dec. 4, below.
