After a seven-year absence from the screen, Academy Award-winning actor Daniel Day-Lewis is coming out of retirement to star in “Anemone,” an original film directed by his son Ronan Day-Lewis.

The 67-year-old actor will appear alongside actors Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley, and Safia Oakley-Green in the forthcoming drama, which “explores the intricate relationships between fathers, sons and brothers, and the dynamics of familial bonds,” according to a statement issued by Focus Features, the production company behind the new film.
