Hollywood studio Focus Features has shared the first look of Oscar-winning actor Daniel Day-Lewis from the upcoming film Anemone, which marks his return to movies after an eight-year retirement.
The acclaimed actor has won the Academy Award for best actor thrice for his roles in Jim Sheridan’s biographical drama, My Left Foot (1989), Paul Thomas Anderson’s epic period drama, There Will Be Blood (2007), and Steven Spielberg’s historical drama, Lincoln (2012).

Anemone, a family drama, marks the directorial debut of his son Ronan Day-Lewis, who has co-written the project with the actor. The movie will have its world première at the 63rd New York Film Festival (NYFF) under the Spotlight section. The film gala will run from September 26 to October 13.
Set in Northern England, the film follows a middle-aged man, played by Bean, who sets out from his suburban home on a journey into the woods, where he reconnects with his estranged hermit brother, played by 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,” read the official logline.
Day-Lewis had called it quits on acting after featuring in the 2017 film Phantom Thread, directed by Anderson. The actor had spoken about his decision to retire after a career of over three decades in an interview with W magazine. “I didn’t want to get sucked back into another project. All my life, I’ve mouthed off about how I should stop acting, and I don’t know why it was different this time, but the impulse to quit took root in me, and that became a compulsion. It was something I had to do,” he had said.
