The star had previously announced he was bowing out for good after starring in the period drama « Phantom Thread » back in 2017.
Daniel Day-Lewis is making a return to acting, some seven years after what was billed as his final movie was released—and fans have a close family member of the three-time Oscar winner to thank.
The screen star had previously reunited with There Will Be Blood director Paul Thomas Anderson for the post-World War II period drama Phantom Thread, playing a lauded dressmaker whose meticulous creativity was severely tested when he fell in love with a young woman who challenged his structured life.
Ahead of the film’s December 2017 release, fans were preparing to say goodbye to the London-born actor—at least when it came to new movies hitting the big screen—as he’d announced that he was bowing out of the profession for good.
However, it was this week reported that Day-Lewis, 67, would be returning in front of cameras to appear in Anemone, a film for which the actor’s son, Ronan Day-Lewis, will be making his directorial debut. The father and son also cowrote the movie.
Currently in production, the film co-partnered by Focus Features and Plan B, has been described as « the intricate relationships between fathers, sons and brothers, and the dynamics of familial bonds.
