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.[2]
Principal photography began on October 1, 2024, in Manchester, England.[3] 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.[4]
In September 2025, it was announced that Bobby Krlic would compose the film's score.[5]
