London, England – Renowned actor Daniel Day-Lewis is set to make a comeback to the big screen in a new project titled Anemone, directed by his son Ronan Day-Lewis. This marks the first feature film for Ronan, whose father is a three-time Oscar winner known for his exceptional performances.
The upcoming film, co-written by Daniel and Ronan, delves into the complexities of familial relationships, focusing on the dynamics between fathers, sons, and brothers. Daniel Day-Lewis was last seen in the critically acclaimed movie Phantom Thread in 2017. Joining him in the cast are actors Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley, and Safia Oakley-Green.
The team behind the camera includes talented individuals such as Director of Photography Ben Fordesman, Costume Designer Jane Petrie, and Production Designer Chris Oddy. Expressing his excitement for the collaboration, Focus Features Chairman Peter Kujawski praised the exceptional script written by the father-son duo and looks forward to bringing their vision to audiences worldwide.
Aside from his work in film, Ronan Day-Lewis is also an accomplished painter with his international solo exhibition set to debut in Hong Kong. The exhibition will later travel to New York City and Los Angeles, showcasing his talents beyond the realm of cinema.
While there have been speculations about Daniel Day-Lewis’ return to acting, with paparazzi sightings on the set of an under-the-radar UK film project alongside actor Sean Bean, it is unclear if this is a true resurgence or simply a cameo appearance. The actor famously announced his retirement from acting in 2017, expressing gratitude to his collaborators and audience members over the years.
Throughout his illustrious career, Day-Lewis has received multiple accolades, including three Academy Awards for Best Actor. His filmography spans several decades, with notable performances in films such as Lincoln, There Will Be Blood, and My Left Foot. Despite his low profile and aversion to the limelight, fans and industry professionals alike eagerly anticipate any appearance or potential return by the esteemed actor.
Recently, Day-Lewis made a rare public appearance at an event for Martin Scorsese’s upcoming film Killers Of The Flower Moon, sparking hope that he may be tempted to come out of retirement for one last project. As the anticipation builds for Anemone and any future endeavors by the acclaimed actor, audiences remain captivated by the enigmatic talent of Daniel Day-Lewis.
