Get a first look at Daniel Day-Lewis' first role in 8 years, 'Anemone'
Daniel Day-Lewis is pressing pause on his retirement.
The award-winning actor is back, this time with son Ronan Day-Lewis, for a gripping familial drama.
Day-Lewis, 68, is set to make his return to the big screen for the first time in eight years, following 2017's romantic drama "Phantom Thread," in "Anemone." The movie is directed and co-written by the legendary actor's son, Ronan Day-Lewis.
The film is set for a world premiere at the 2025 New York Film Festival this fall, followed by a theatrical release in October.
The film is also set to star Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley and Safia Oakley-Green.

The film's synopsis reads: "Family bonds between fathers, sons, and brothers are explored as complex relationships unfold through personal journeys and generational conflicts."
Why did Daniel Day-Lewis retire?
The three-time best actor Oscar winner abruptly retired in 2017, shortly before he received yet another best actor nomination for "Phantom Thread."
"Daniel Day-Lewis will no longer be working as an actor," his representative Leslee Dart said at the time. "He is immensely grateful to all of his collaborators and audiences over the many years. This is a private decision and neither he nor his representatives will make any further comment on this subject."
Day-Lewis has yet to comment on his decision to return to acting.
