Daniel and Ronan wrote the screenplay together, showing how close they are as father and son. The film is produced by Plan B and Focus Features. This is the first time Daniel has acted since his last film, Phantom Thread, which came out in 2017. Fans are so happy to see him back!
A Heartfelt Story
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Anemone will explore important family relationships. It will focus on the strong bonds between fathers, sons, and brothers.
Daniel leads a talented cast that includes Sean Bean, known for his roles in Game of Thrones and Patriot Games, along with Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley, and Safia Oakley-Green.
Peter Kujawski, the head of Focus Features, is very excited about this project. He said, “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.”
He praised the amazing script they created and can’t wait to share it with audiences.
The film’s production team is also impressive. Ben Fordesman will take care of the photography, Jane Petrie will design the costumes, and Chris Oddy will manage the production design.
Universal Pictures International will help distribute the film around the world through Focus Features.
Rumors about Day-Lewis’ return began when he was seen filming scenes in Manchester.
Fans noticed that both he and Sean Bean wore motorbike helmets in the photos, making Day-Lewis look quite different with a gray mustache and beard. This sighting made many fans excited because they have missed seeing him on screen.
Daniel Day-Lewis is known for his amazing career. He has won three Academy Awards for Best Actor. He won these Oscars for his roles in My Left Foot, Lincoln, and There Will Be Blood. He has also received nominations for other films like In the Name of the Father, Gangs of New York, and Phantom Thread.

Even though Day-Lewis has not explained why he decided to return, he has shared some thoughts from his past. In a 2017 interview with W Magazine, he mentioned that he never planned to retire after Phantom Thread.
He said, “Before making the film, I didn't know I was going to stop acting.” He remembered laughing a lot with director Paul Thomas Anderson while filming, but he also talked about feeling sad, which surprised him.
This isn’t the first time Daniel Day-Lewis has stepped away from acting. In 1997, he took a break to learn shoemaking in Italy. His return to acting joins other famous actors who have come back after retiring.
Fans are eagerly waiting for Anemone to come out. With a talented cast and a heartfelt story, it promises to be a beautiful film. The teamwork between Daniel and Ronan Day-Lewis adds a special touch to this project. Their shared vision will surely connect with audiences.
As the film gets closer to its release, movie fans everywhere are excited to see Daniel Day-Lewis shine on screen again. It’s a comeback that many have been waiting for, and Anemone will be a remarkable addition to his famous movies. Keep an eye out for this exciting family drama!
