Daniel Day-Lewis is coming out of retirement to star in a film directed by his son, marking his return to acting.

In a surprising turn of events, renowned actor Daniel Day-Lewis has announced his return to the big screen after a seven-year hiatus. The film, titled "Anemone," will mark the directorial debut of his son, Ronan Day-Lewis, and will also feature actors Sean Bean and Samantha Morton. The project, which was co-written by both father and son, was revealed by Focus Features and Plan B on Tuesday.

Fans and industry insiders were abuzz after spotting Day-Lewis and Bean cruising through the streets of Manchester, England on a motorbike earlier in the day. This sighting only added to the anticipation surrounding the talented actor's comeback. Day-Lewis, who famously announced his retirement after completing his last film, "Phantom Thread," in 2017, has been relatively out of the public eye since then.

In an interview with W Magazine, Day-Lewis reflected on his decision to step away from acting, saying, "All my life, I've talked about quitting and for some reason, this time it felt different. It became a compulsion that I had to give in to." Since then, he has only made a few rare appearances in public, most notably at the National Board of Review Awards in January to present an award to Martin Scorsese, who directed him in "Gangs of New York" and "The Age of Innocence."

"Anemone," currently in production, promises to delve into the complex relationships between fathers, sons, and brothers, exploring the intricate dynamics of familial bonds. At the helm of this project is Ronan Day-Lewis, a 26-year-old painter who has previously showcased his talents in New York and will now make his mark in the film industry. In fact, his first international solo exhibition will open in Hong Kong on Tuesday, further solidifying his artistic prowess.

The team at Focus Features is thrilled to partner with the Day-Lewis duo, with chair Peter Kujawski expressing his excitement to bring their shared vision to audiences worldwide. "They have written a truly exceptional script," he said, "and we cannot wait to see it come to life on the big screen with the help of our partners at Plan B."
