The father and son duo also co-wrote the screenplay.

Daniel Day-Lewis has marked his return to acting with a starring role in Anemone, the feature debut by his son Ronan Day-Lewis, currently filming in Manchester.

The role in Anemone is the actor’s first since Phantom Thread in 2017, and sees him among a cast including Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley and Safia Oakley-Green.

Focus Features and Plan B are partnering on the feature, that is co-written by the father and son duo. It explores the intricate relationships between fathers, sons and brothers, and the dynamics of familial bonds.

Ben Fordesman is the DoP; Jane Petrie costume designer and Chris Oddy is on board as production designer.

Focus Features chairman, Peter Kujawski said: “We could not be more excited to partner with a brilliant visual artist in Ronan Day-Lewis on his first feature film alongside Daniel Day-Lewis as his creative collaborator. They have written a truly exceptional script, and we look forward to bringing their shared vision to audiences alongside the team at Plan B.”

Universal Pictures International will distribute the film internationally on behalf of Focus.
