In an exciting turn of events, three-time Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis is set to grace the big screen once again after a four-year hiatus. His comeback film, "Anemone," is not a typical return, but an artistic statement that promises to captivate audiences worldwide.

The film, a compelling family drama, will have its world premiere at the New York Film Festival on 26 September to 13 October 2025. It will then be released in US cinemas on 10 October 2025. The German premiere is scheduled for 13 November 2025, although the specific location remains undisclosed.

"Anemone" revolves around complex relationships between fathers, sons, and brothers, with Daniel Day-Lewis starring as a reclusive brother and Sean Bean as a man embarking on a journey to repair his strained relationship with him. Samantha Morton is also seen in a central role.

Daniel Day-Lewis is not only acting in "Anemone," but he is also co-writing the screenplay for the first time. The official synopsis describes the film as a dramatic exploration of lives torn apart by political and personal conflicts and a shared past that neither character can escape.

The first trailer for "Anemone" has been released, featuring dense atmospheric film, dark forests, intense looks of the protagonists, and tense silence. The trailer hints at Daniel Day-Lewis's performance being as extreme as in his previous films, which has led to speculations that it could earn him his fourth Oscar for Best Actor.

Interestingly, "Anemone" is Daniel Day-Lewis's son Ronan Day-Lewis' directorial debut. This family affair adds an extra layer of intrigue to the anticipated film.

While the release date for "Anemone" has been announced, the film is currently in production, with more updates expected in the coming months. In the meantime, audiences can look forward to the release of the miniseries "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox" on Disney+, with Anna Rinderspacher analyzing its strengths and weaknesses in GQ.de.

Daniel Day-Lewis's return from retirement is not just a gift to his son and the audience, but a testament to his enduring love for his craft. With "Anemone," Day-Lewis promises to deliver a performance that will leave a lasting impact on cinema.
