Daniel Day-Lewis Returns to the Silver Screen with Anemone: A Family Drama
Daniel Day-Lewis is making a return to the silver screen with the upcoming movie Anemone, which he co-wrote with his son and director, Ronan Day-Lewis. The film's trailer, released on August 21, promises a mix of intimate and explosive drama. Daniel stars in this project alongside actors like Sean Bean, Samuel Bottomley, Safia Oakley-Green, and Samantha Morton. The movie delves into complex family relationships, exploring bonds between fathers, sons, and brothers through personal journeys and generational conflicts.
Daniel Day-Lewis shares three sons, including Ronan, with his wife Rebecca Miller, whom he met while acting in a play written by her father, Arthur Miller. Anemone marks Daniel's first film since 2017's Phantom Thread, as he had previously announced his retirement from acting. Despite his low profile, Daniel made a surprise return to the screen in collaboration with his son Ronan. The film is set to premiere at the New York Film Festival this fall, and Focus Features Chairman Peter Kujawski expressed excitement about the project, praising the exceptional script crafted by the father-son duo.
