Daniel Day-Lewis comes out of his seven-year retirement for Anemone, a film directed by his son, Ronan Day-Lewis.
Daniel Day-Lewis is one of our greatest living actors, and he’s set to return to the big screen seven years after he announced his (second) retirement. He will star in Anemone, a new film from Focus Features and Plan B, which will be the directorial debut of his son, Ronan Day-Lewis.
“We could not be more excited to partner with a brilliant visual artist in Ronan Day-Lewis on his first feature film alongside Daniel Day-Lewis as his creative collaborator,” Focus Features chairman Peter Kujawski said in a statement. “They have written a truly exceptional script, and we look forward to bringing their shared vision to audiences alongside the team at Plan B.” Day-Lewis also co-wrote the script alongside his son, which is being described as “an exploration of the intricate relationships between fathers, son and brothers as well as the dynamics of familial bonds.“
The film also stars Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley, and Safia Oakley-Green.
