Daniel Day-Lewis comes out of retirement and returns to the stage! The veteran of the film industry stars in the movie «Anemone», - which he co-wrote with his son Ronan Day-Lewis. This is also Ronan’s first experience in directing. The announcement of the film comes seven years after the actor temporarily stepped away from acting.
«I knew it was uncharacteristic of me to make a statement», - Day-Lewis told W magazine in 2017. «But I wanted to draw a line. I didn’t want to get involved in a new project. I’ve always said all my life that I should stop acting, and I don’t know why this time was different, but the desire to leave took root in me, and it became irresistible. It was what I needed to do».
At the time of the interview, the award-winning actor admitted that he still doesn’t feel «easier» and he feels a «great sadness» about leaving his career.
«And that’s right», - Day-Lewis pointed out. «How strange it would be if it were just a joyful step into a new life? I’ve been interested in acting since I was 12, and then everything, except the theater — this box of light — was plunged into shadow. When I started, it was a question of salvation. Now I want to explore the world in a different way».
The release date of the film «Anemone» is currently unknown. Since the announcement was recent, the production of the project is likely not yet completed. Focus Features Chairman Peter Kujawski stated that the company is thrilled to collaborate with the father-son duo of the Day-Lewis.
«We couldn’t be more excited to be working with the brilliant visual artist Ronan Day-Lewis on his first feature film together with Daniel Day-Lewis as his creative partner», - Peter said, according to The Hollywood Reporter. «They have written a truly exceptional screenplay, and we look forward to bringing their shared vision to audiences together with the Plan B team».
An official synopsis for «Anemone» has not yet been released. However, according to CNN reports, the film will be about relationships between fathers, sons, and brothers.
In addition to Daniel, the rest of the cast of «Anemone» includes Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley, and Safiya Oakley-Green
