Daniel Day-Lewis is returning to acting in ANEMONE from Ronan Day-Lewis. The feature is from first time director Ronan Day-Lewis, the son of the 3x Oscar winning actor. Father and son wrote the screenplay which explores the intricate relationships between fathers, sons and brothers and the dynamics of familial bonds. The last time Day-Lewis was on the big screen was Focus Features’ Paul Thomas Anderson movie PHANTOM THREAD in 2017. Daniel Day-Lewis will star with Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley and Safia Oakley-Green.

Day-Lewis is widely regarded as one of the greatest actors of his generation, known for his intense method acting and selective approach to roles. He began his career in the 1980s with notable performances in films like MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE (1985) and A ROOM WITH A VIEW (1985). His breakthrough came with MY LEFT FOOT (1989), for which he won his first Academy Award for Best Actor, portraying writer and artist Christy Brown.

Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Day-Lewis continued to showcase his versatility and commitment to his craft. He delivered powerful performances in films such as THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS (1992), IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER (1993), and GANGS OF NEW YORK (2002). His portrayal of oil tycoon Daniel Plainview in THERE WILL BE BLOOD (2007) earned him his second Oscar and is considered one of the greatest acting performances in cinema history.

Day-Lewis’ later career was marked by his continued excellence and increasing selectivity. He won a third Oscar for his portrayal of Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg’s LINCOLN (2012). His final film before retiring was PHANTOM THREAD (2017), for which he received his sixth Oscar nomination. Throughout his career, Day-Lewis was known for fully immersing himself in his roles, often staying in character even when not filming, and for the long breaks he took between projects.
