Feature: Daniel Day-Lewis returns to the big screen, we discuss his contributions to acting
Description
Daniel Day-Lewis is coming out of retirement, seven years after his last movie, for a film directed by his son Ronan Day-Lewis. The project was announced Tuesday by Focus Features and Plan B, who are partnering on “Anemone.” The film, Ronan Day-Lewis’ directorial debut, will star his father along with Sean Bean and Samantha Morton. The two Day-Lewises co-wrote the film. Earlier Tuesday, Daniel Day-Lewis and Bean were spotted driving a motorbike through Manchester, England, stoking intrigue about his impending return to acting. After making Paul Thomas Anderson’s 2017 film “Phantom Thread,” the 67-year-old said he was quitting acting. Given Day-Lewis’s decades-long filmography, and 3 Academy Awards to his name, we thought it’d be good to look back at his legacy to help contextualize how significant his contributions have been.
