Daniel Day-Lewis is making a notable return to the acting scene with his upcoming film, “Anemone,” after a seven-year hiatus since his last role in “Phantom Thread” in 2017. The eagerly anticipated movie is set for its world premiere at the New York Film Festival in 2025, followed by a U.S. theatrical release on October 3.
One of the unique aspects of “Anemone” is that it marks a collaboration between Day-Lewis and his son, Ronan Day-Lewis, who will be making his directorial debut. The father-son team has worked closely together, co-writing the screenplay. Speaking with Empire magazine, Daniel expressed the emotional significance of the project, describing it as a “lovely gift” and highlighting the joy of being part of his son’s first film.
The movie, which also features performances by Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley, and Safia Oakley-Green, delves into complex familial relationships. “Anemone” promises to be a psychological thriller exploring the profound connections between brothers, fathers, and sons, promising an engaging narrative for audiences.
Though it remains uncertain if Daniel Day-Lewis will continue acting after “Anemone,” his return to the screen is highly anticipated by fans. His reflections in past interviews suggest that moving forward, he may choose projects that hold significant meaning for him, potentially involving collaboration with his son.
For now, moviegoers and admirers of Day-Lewis’s work can look forward to his compelling performance in “Anemone,” set to captivate audiences once again.
