Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the greatest actors ever to walk the face of the Earth. He’s a three-time Academy Award winner, and has proven to the world he can nail every accent. The master thespian has actually retired twice. Once from 1997 to 2000 to become a shoemaker (which is more like a long sabbatical), and again in 2017. But he finally came out of his second acting retirement for a role in his son Ronan Day-Lewis’ directing debut, an intense drama called Anemone. Now, we have an ominous and heavy first trailer for Daniel Day-Lewis’ highly anticipated return project. You can watch the Anemone trailer down below:
So what exactly does this moody Anemone trailer tell us about the film? Well, from what we can gather, Daniel Day-Lewis plays a former soldier who has exiled himself for twenty years. We don’t really know why, but we’re guessing he did some pretty bad stuff that wracks him with guilt. At some point, his estranged brother goes out to find him. According to the official synopsis that comes with the trailer, Anemone “Explores the complex and profound ties that exist between brothers, fathers, and sons.” Daniel Day-Lewis co-wrote the film with his son. So we can see that this one is a passion project for him. Anemone also co-stars Sean Bean and Samantha Morton.
After quitting acting after 2017’s The Phantom Thread, Daniel Day-Lewis put out a statement on his retirement. He assured his fans that this time, he meant it. But if anyone could coax the celebrated actor to return to the screen, we suppose it had to be family. Somehow, we have a feeling another Oscar nomination is in store after watching this Anemone trailer. Ronan Day Lewis’ Anemone is set to have its world premiere at the New York Film Festival, which kicks off Sept. 26 and runs through Oct. 13.
