Anemone is an upcoming American psychologicaldrama film directed by Ronan Day-Lewis, in his feature directorial debut, from a screenplay he co-wrote with his father, Daniel Day-Lewis, who also stars in the lead role. It features the latter's return to acting for the first time since Phantom Thread in 2017, alongside Sean Bean and Samantha Morton.
In September 2024, it was announced that Daniel Day-Lewis would be making his acting return after retirement in 2017 following the release of Phantom Thread. In addition to starring as Ray Stoker, Daniel co-wrote the script for Anemone with his son, Ronan Day-Lewis, who also directed the film. Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley, and Safia Oakley-Green also joined the cast, with Jane Petrie as costume designer and Chris Oddy as production designer.[1]
Principal photography began on October 1, 2024, in Manchester.[2] Later that month, while filming in Handbridge in Chester, production was disrupted after traffic wardens posted parking tickets on several of the 1980s prop vehicles that were parked on double-yellow lines. A spokesperson for Cheshire West and Chester Council explained that, while a request for parking technical support vehicles in restricted areas had been granted, this did not include the prop cars, and a separate request for a full road closure application during filming had been rejected as it was assessed as "being too disruptive" for residents.[3]
In September 2025, it was announced that Bobby Krlic would compose the film's score.[4]
