Daniel Day-Lewis has paused his retirement from acting to appear in his son Ronan’s directorial debut, ‘Anemone.’ He also co-wrote the film’s script.
Daniel Day-Lewis’ retirement from acting is looking more like a hiatus.
The only man to win the best actor Oscar three times is returning after seven years away from Hollywood to act in his son Ronan’s directorial debut, “Anemone.” The film, which the Day-Lewis duo co-wrote, is pegged as “an exploration of the intricate relationships between fathers, sons and brothers” and the “dynamics of familial bonds,” Variety reported.
On Sunday, the elder Day-Lewis, 67, was photographed on the set of the film in Manchester, England, as he rode a motorcycle with co-star Sean Bean (“The Lord of the Rings”). Two days later, Focus Features and Plan B Entertainment announced they would be co-leading the project.
“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,” Peter Kujawski, chair of Focus Features, told the Associated Press. “They have written a truly exceptional script, and we look forward to bringing their shared vision to audiences alongside the team at Plan B.
