The script for the Focus Features and Plan B film was collaboratively written by a father-son duo. Daniel Day-Lewis is returning to feature acting alongside his son. Day-Lewis is scheduled to appear in the film Anemone, directed by Ronan Day-Lewis. Produced by Focus Features and Plan B, this movie will be Daniel Day-Lewis’ first acting role since his 2017 film Phantom Thread, which he had announced as his final project before retiring. The father and son pair wrote the script, focusing on family bonds, particularly those among fathers, sons, and brothers. The cast includes Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley, and Safia Oakley-Green.
Focus has appointed Universal Pictures International for international distribution.
At the age of 26, filmmaker and painter Ronan Day-Lewis is set to unveil his solo exhibition in Hong Kong this Wednesday.
Daniel Day-Lewis, a three-time Oscar-winning actor, is widely regarded as one of the best actors of his generation. His Academy Awards were for My Left Foot, There Will Be Blood, and Lincoln. He also received Oscar nominations for his performances in In the Name of the Father, Gangs of New York, and Phantom Thread.
In a statement released in 2017, Day-Lewis announced his retirement from acting. The message conveyed, “Daniel Day-Lewis will no longer pursue acting, expressing immense gratitude to all his collaborators and audiences throughout the years.”
