After seven long years of retirement, the legendary Daniel Day-Lewis is returning to the screen with a deeply personal project.
The Oscar-winning actor left fans stunned in 2017 when he announced his decision to step away from acting following the release of Phantom Thread. Now, he’s back and set to star in his son, Ronan Day-Lewis’ directorial debut, Anemone.
A Family Affair: Father-Son Collaboration in Anemone
Anemone isn’t just a regular project—Daniel and Ronan co-wrote the screenplay, making this film a true family affair. The story dives deep into familial bonds, exploring the complex relationships between fathers, sons, and brothers.
The film is produced by Focus Features and Plan B Productions and is currently being filmed in Manchester, England. Peter Kujawski, the chairman of Focus Features, said,
“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Ronan Day-Lewis on his first feature film alongside his father, Daniel Day-Lewis.”
Star-Studded Cast in Anemone
Besides Daniel, Anemone boasts a stellar cast, including Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Safia Oakley-Green, and Samuel Bottomley. With this lineup, the film is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases.
Daniel’s Retreat and Return to the Spotlight
Daniel has kept a low profile since his 2017 retirement. Known for his method acting and commitment to his craft, he’s taken breaks from acting before,
even working as an apprentice shoemaker in the 1990s. His ability to step away and explore different interests has always fueled his extraordinary performances.
For fans of Daniel Day-Lewis, this comeback marks the end of a long wait. Stay tuned for more updates on Anemone and Daniel’s return to the big screen!
