- Speaking to Rolling Stone, the three-time Oscar winner said he “would have done well to just keep my mouth shut,” calling the 2017 pledge to stop acting “grandiose gibberish.”
- He co-wrote Anemone with his son, Ronan Day-Lewis, and said Ronan made clear he would not make the film unless his father starred in it.
- The film will have its world premiere at the New York Film Festival, with Focus Features releasing it in select U.S. theaters on Oct. 3 and expanding nationwide on Oct. 10.
- Day-Lewis described stepping away after Phantom Thread because the process left him “hollowed out,” saying the new project rekindled his creative drive.
- Set in Northern England, the drama features Sean Bean opposite Day-Lewis, with Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley and Safia Oakley-Green in supporting roles, and is produced with Plan B.
