Daniel Day-Lewis’ 'Anemone' Trailer Lands at Last — Can Any Other Actor Make Silence Feel This Loud?
A haunting return that reminds us why cinema missed him.
The wait is over: Anemone, Daniel Day-Lewis’ first film in eight years, finally has a trailer.
The project is made even more intriguing by his collaboration with his son Ronan, stepping behind the camera for his feature debut. A legendary actor guided by his own family — that’s enough to make this release feel unmissable, don’t you think?
A Family Affair
Premiering at the 63rd New York Film Festival, the film arrives in limited release this October. Co-written by Daniel and Ronan Day-Lewis, Anemone dives into fractured family ties — fathers, sons, and the shadows of bloodlines.
The cast includes Sean Bean, Samantha Morton and Safia Oakley-Green, with Ben Fordesman crafting the moody, atmospheric visuals glimpsed in the trailer.
The Weight of His Return
Day-Lewis last bowed out after Phantom Thread, just as he once walked away post-The Boxer. Each return feels momentous because his performances — from Lincoln to There Will Be Blood — leave such a long echo.
With Anemone, he doesn’t simply return to acting; he reclaims that rare kind of screen presence we’ve been missing.
