Daniel Day-Lewis, one of the most celebrated actors of his generation, is set to make a highly anticipated return to the big screen. After a seven-year break, he will star in his son Ronan Day-Lewis’ directorial debut, “Anemone.”
This film, produced by Focus Features and Plan B, explores the complexities of familial relationships, focusing on the connections between fathers, sons, and brothers. Daniel Day-Lewis will be joined by a talented ensemble cast, including Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley, and Safia Oakley-Green.
Focus Features chairman Peter Kujawski expressed his enthusiasm for the project, commending Ronan Day-Lewis’ vision and the outstanding script he co-wrote with his father. “Anemone” represents a reunion between Daniel Day-Lewis and Focus Features, the studio that produced his acclaimed film “Phantom Thread.”
Ronan Day-Lewis, a budding painter, is also making waves in the arts scene with his debut international solo exhibition. His father, Daniel Day-Lewis, is a three-time Oscar winner renowned for his transformative roles in films like “Lincoln,” “There Will Be Blood,” and “My Left Foot.”
Daniel Day-Lewis announced his retirement in 2017, surprising both fans and the industry. However, his recent involvement in “Anemone” suggests that his passion for acting has been reignited. The film is set to be released internationally by Universal Pictures.
