Daniel Day-Lewis Returns in First Film Since Retiring Eight Years Ago

A first look at the Oscar winner in his new father-son project, 'Anemone.'

www.hollywoodreporter.com

The official description of Anemone calls the film "an absorbing family drama … about lives undone by seemingly irreconcilable legacies of political and personal violence." Set in Northern England, the film follows a middle-aged man (Sean Bean) who "sets out from his suburban home on a journey into the woods, where he reconnects with his estranged hermit brother (Day-Lewis). Bonded by a mysterious, complicated past, the men share a fraught, if occasionally tender relationship—one that was forever altered by shattering events decades earlier."

Day fucking zero. DDL looks awesome already with that stache and the grey. And hell yes Sean Bean. Can we all start making bets on how many minutes in they'll kill him off?

 

[dispensergoinup]

The GOAT returns.

Will be looking out for this one.

 

[SupaComputa]

If he can make me watch a movie about making dresses and love it, I'll bite for this one too.

 

[RJMacready73]

I'll watch anything with DDL in it, poor Sean, must be nerve wracking to act alongside without a doubt the best actor alive or dead

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Hell yes

 

[kpopSuperstar]

Both are great, and it is a good pairing, these two together sounds interesting.

 

[Icymanipulator]

I'll be there day 1. Love all DDLs work.

It's also extra important to support movies like this in theaters.

 

[AJUMP23]

I thought he retired.

The fact that he is a method actor makes me feel like he is bad at pretending.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

If he dies, he dies.
Also, Day 1.

 

[Days like these...]

Directors, actors and artists on his level rarely actually retire even if they use that word. It's more like an extended break.

Valid comment. His son, Ronan Day-Lewis, is making his director debut with this film. There is no telling how good the film will be and part of me wonders if DDL is just doing his son a favour.

However, DDL did co write the script (I'm going to assume he did most of the writing), so there is hope that it won't just be a vanity project.

Yeh it's not as cool as if he was coming out of retirement for someone like Scorsese. But we might not have got something new from him if it wasn't for this. So I'll take what we can get. And I can't blame the guy for wanting to work with his son.

DDL is obviously the goat but Sean Bean is by no means a slouch either. I still weep for Ned Stark to this day.

 

[cormack12]

Calling it now. Sean Bean doesnt actually exist, that was the shattering event and hes now a ghost/haunting memory

I've missed Sean Bean too.

 

[Forsete]

This could be interesting.

 

[Trilobit]

There needs to be a scene where he shouts: "Show me the anemone!"
