[Update, October 1, 5:15 pm]: The Hollywood Reporter is now confirming that Daniel Day-Lewis has in fact signed on to appear in Anemone, which his son Ronan Day-Lewis is directing. The two of them co-wrote the script, and Samantha Morton will also star.
[Original story]: It’s best not to believe a famous performer when they say they’re retiring. Very few of them ever actually quit for good; many, many of them come crawling back to the spotlight at some time or another. It seemed like Daniel Day-Lewis might be the rare exception to this rule, possibly because his eccentric personality lent credence to the idea he was done, or possibly because he’s such a damn good actor that he was really able to convince us of his sincerity. But it turns out Daniel Day-Lewis was not an exception, as the widely regarded greatest living actor appears to be acting again.
This comes from the Daily Mail, which caught Day-Lewis on the set of a project reportedly called Avelyne that no one has ever heard of. He was photographed riding a motorbike with Sean Bean. The Mail described the setup as an “action packed scene.”
