The release date has been revealed for Daniel Day-Lewis' new film, Anemone. Day-Lewis is one of the most celebrated actors of his time.

Day-Lewis has since been nominated for five more Oscars, winning two for Lincoln and There Will Be Blood.

Per Focus Features, a release date for Anemone has been revealed. The movie will come out in limited release on October 3, and then expand to a wider release the following weekend on October 10. The logline is that "the film explores the complex and profound ties that exist between brothers, fathers, and sons.

While Day-Lewis plays the starring role in Anemone,...

After eight years in retirement, Daniel Day-Lewis is returning to acting in Anemone, a collaboration with his son, director Ronan Day-Lewis.

Daniel Day-Lewis is widely considered to be one of the greatest actors of all time, and with three Oscars on his mantle and a filmography for the ages, that opinion isn’t likely to change. Day-Lewis hasn’t appeared in a film since 2017’s Phantom Thread, but with movies like There Will Be Blood, My Beautiful Laundrette and My Left Foot to his name, his place in on the list of all-time greats is assured.

Day-Lewis retired from acting eight years ago, sticking to the maxim of ‘always leave ’em wanting more.’ But now he’s returned to collaborate with his son, Ronan Day-Lewis, on Anemone – a family drama also set to star Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley and Safia Oakley-Green. The film is said to explore “familial...

Focus Features has set an October 3 awards corridor release date for Anemone, the much anticipated drama that will mark Daniel Day-Lewis’ return to the screen after eight years.

Day-Lewis’ son Ronan Day-Lewis makes his directing debut on the project and father and son co-wrote the screenplay, which deals with the complex ties between brothers, fathers and sons.

Sean Bean, Samuel Bottomley, Safia Oakley-Green and Samantha Morton star alongside the elder Day-Lewis. Plan B is producing.

The project shot last autumn in the north of England and Wales with Ben Fordesman serving as director of photography, Jane Petrie as costume designer...

In addition to Daniel Day-Lewis, the film stars Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley, and Safia Oakley-Green.

Focus Features has locked in a release date for Anemone, its film bringing three-time Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis back to the big screen for the first time since Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom Thread in 2017.

Daniel Day-Lewis recently announced he will be coming out of retirement to star in his son's directorial debut, Anemone. Day-Lewis hasn't starred in a feature film since Paul Thomas Anderson's Phantom Thread (2017) and officially announced his retirement from acting following the film's release. Although Day-Lewis was nominated for his leading role as Reynolds Woodcock, marking his sixth Best Actor nomination, he lost that particular Oscar to Gary Oldman, who won for portraying Winston Churchill in The Darkest Hour. Day-Lewis remains the only person ever to win the Academy Award for Best Actor three times, while nine other actors have won 2.

Focus Features confirmed that Day-Lewis will star in the upcoming movie Anemone, which will be directed by his son, Ronan Day-Lewis. Per Focus Features, the film "explores the intricate relationships between fathers, sons and brothers, and the dynamics of familial bonds." Anemone, which is a common gardening plant, will also star Sean Bean,...

Very few actors in the industry can even dream of what Daniel Day-Lewis achieved in his career. The actor, often considered one of the greatest in the industry, has made a huge name for his detailed research behind every role. However, even after having 3 Oscars and numerous hits, his net worth is lower than most of his contemporaries including Denzel Washington.

Although Denzel Washington is only 2 years older than Daniel Day-Lewis, the latter’s net worth is not even close to the Equalizer star. With numerous box office hits, Washington has also been a commercially successful star. Interestingly, Day-Lewis, even after having such a low net worth, did not need work for 7 years before finally announcing his comeback in 2024.

After seven years, Daniel Day-Lewis is confirmed to have ended his retirement. Yay! More on the news below.

Earlier this year, we ran a story about Daniel Day-Lewis Not ending his retirement. The actor’s friend and collaborator Jim Sheridan had been chatting to ScreenDaily about trying to lure Day-Lewis out of retirement, but the actor was adamant he wasn’t going to be making a comeback.

Well, that seems to have changed now. There were rumours yesterday that Day-Lewis has returned to acting after he was spotted on the set of Anemone, a film directed by his son Ronan Day-Lewis. The news has now been confirmed by Focus Features in a statement (via Variety) that also confirms that the two generations of Day-Lewis men have collaborated on the script.

One of Hollywood's most acclaimed thespians is making a comeback after announcing retirement in 2017. His next film is proving to be a passion project with his son at the helm.

Daniel Day-Lewis is starring in the upcoming film Anemone, a family drama helmed by first-time director Ronan Day-Lewis. The father and son co-wrote the screenplay under Plan B and Focus Features. The film confirms Daniel Day-Lewis' return to acting after 2017's Phantom Thread, his last project before officially announcing his retirement. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Anemone's premise will focus on familial relationships, specifically the bond between fathers, sons, and brothers. Day-Lewis leads the ensemble along with Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley, and Safia Oakley-Green.

Daniel Day-Lewis said he was through with acting after 2017’s “The Phantom Thread” but his son Ronan has got him back in front of the camera. The pair co-wrote the script for “Anemone,” which explores the relationships between fathers, sons and brothers. This marks the directorial debut for Ronan Day-Lewis, who is also an accomplished artist. Filming is underway in the UK on this Focus Features flick which co-stars Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley and Safia Oakley-Green.

Ronan has recruited some top tier talent behind-the-camera as well. The cinematographer is Ben Fordesman, who won a British Independent Film Award for his lensing of “Saint Maud.” The costume designer is Jane Petrie, who collected an Emmy for “The Crown” and a BAFTA for “The Essex Serpent.” And the production designer is BAFTA nominee Chris Oddy (“The Zone of Interest”).

No word as to when the film will be finished but...

An actor coming out of retirement for one last movie? Now that’ll be the day. A world class, three-time Oscar winning actor coming out of retirement for one last movie, though? Well that'll be the Day-Lewis. Daniel Day-Lewis, to be precise. Yes, you read that right folks — the My Left Foot, Lincoln, and There Will Be Blood star is officially getting ready to make his first film appearance since 2017’s Phantom Thread. Per Variety's reporting, the actor — who formally announced he was hanging up his acting boots seven years ago — will be playing the lead in his son Ronan Day-Lewis’ feature directorial debut, Anemone.

Co-written by the father-son Day-Lewis duo, Anemone's plot specifics are currently being kept under wraps, but the film has been described as an exploration of "the dynamics of familial bonds", with fathers, sons, and brothers' relationships all set to be placed under the microscope in the movie.

In what is almost surely the year’s biggest casting news, Daniel Day-Lewis has ended retirement for his own progeny. Focus Features have announced Anemone, which his son Ronan Day-Lewis, in a feature debut, is directing from a script that’s co-written by his father––the actor’s first such credit––and concerns “the intricate relationships between fathers, sons and brothers, and the dynamics of familial bonds.”

Samantha Morton, Sean Bean, Samuel Bottomley, and Safia Oakley-Green co-star in the film, which has been seen rolling cameras in Manchester, while a paper local to Warrington, one known shooting location, claims it’s an ’80s period piece in which Bean plays an ex-soldier. This is about the deepest details go for now, but expect more in months to come; by any stretch Anemone boasts one of (fair guess) 2025’s most-anticipated performances.

“All of Us Strangers...

Six settlers arrive in a Scottish forest 45,000 years ago, where ‘bloodthirsty things’ await but bathos fails to arrive

‘Forty-five thousand years ago …” So begins this ambitious, confident feature debut from Scottish director Andrew Cumming. It’s a horror movie set in the stone age where a poor old early human is yomping about the Highlands in winter; no Gore-Tex or warm pub, just a tough bit of elk meat to chew on and the odd run-in with a hairy Neanderthal. What a god-awfully grim time to be alive – even before things go bump in the night.

The premise is simple: this movie is “Alien in the stone age”. It begins with six intrepid early humans washing up on a Highlands beach, all of them quickly and efficiently sketched out as characters. Adem (Chuku Modu) is in charge and evidently sees himself as a mighty leader of men. He’s travelling...

The year is 2024... minus 45,000. Yes, Out of Darkness, Bleecker Street's acclaimed new film from debut director Andrew Cumming, takes place in the Stone Age with hardnosed characters speaking in a foreign dialect. But don't let that deter you. This is terrifying stuff that becomes refreshingly relatable as the characters' harrowing journey progresses — especially when night falls, and the group realizes maybe they're not alone in these vast mountains.

Relationships are tested, hunger pushes them to the brink, and sanity becomes a thing of the past. You may catch shades of past classic films while tuning into Out of Darkness, and as we discovered through our recent conversation with director Cumming, that was perhaps the point. He also spoke about embracing a foreign dialect for his characters, using Sigourney Weaver's iconic role as inspiration and his love for Killers of the Flower Moon.

The film, released in theaters Feb. 9, follows a tribe of people living on a desolate Scottish island 45,000 years ago who find themselves prey to a mysterious enemy that picks them off one by one. When 11-year-old Heron suddenly vanishes into the night, the tribe ventures into the forest to find him. Taking a page from “Jaws” and “Alien,” Cumming restrained himself from showing the antagonist until it became absolutely necessary, when it’s finally revealed that the menacing beast that’s hunting the tribe turns out to be human.

More specifically, it’s a pair of Neanderthals, who coexisted with Homo sapiens in Western Europe...

Between apocalyptic disaster films and cosmic terrors à la Lovecraft, the horror genre has the theoretical end of humanity pretty well covered. But what about its beginning?

In Andrew Cumming’s magnificent directorial debut “Out of Darkness,” the filmmaker reverses at full speed into the unknown with an imaginative and gruesome wilderness thriller tracking a group of nomads living 45,000 years ago. Part prehistoric “Prey,” part agnostic spin on The Book of Genesis, the film was written by Ruth Greenberg, and premiered under the more sci-fi sounding title “The Origin” at the BFI Film Festival in 2022. The moniker change is just the latest in a line of nuanced creative decisions that makes this ferocious 87-minute monster movie a testament to meticulous storytelling: a scrupulous feat made even more effective by the film’s use of Stone Age brutality and stark narrative simplicity.

Shot in the Scottish Highlands, this existential campfire story...

Set in the Stone Age, the new horror film Out of Darkness follows a group of world-weary survivors seeking asylum in a new land, only to encounter something deadly stalking them in the shadows just outside the flickering flames of their fire.

With Out of Darkness now playing in theaters via Bleecker Street, Daily Dead had the great pleasure of catching up with director Andrew Cumming to discuss the making of his ambitious new horror movie, including filming in the secluded Scottish Highlands, utilizing a new language created just for the film, and bringing the Stone Age to life as authentically as possible.

If there’s one word that summarizes the main focus of early man’s life, it’s undoubtedly “survive”. In the gripping Cro-Magnon monster movie Out Of Darkness, directed by Andrew Cumming and penned by Ruth Greenberg, viewers are transported back to a time when humanity was in its infancy, 45,000 years ago. The film boasts a talented ensemble, including Safia Oakley-Green, Kit Young, Chuku Modu, Iola Evans, Arno Lüning, and Luna Mwezi, who find themselves on the brink of existence in a world where every day is a fight for survival.

The storyline unfolds as a small band of early humans arrive on the edge of a stark and unwelcoming land, their journey across a treacherous sea driven by the desperate need for a new beginning. Starvation nips at their heels as they traverse the cold, unforgiving tundra, aiming for the mountains that loom in the distance, hopeful of finding...

It’s a weekend of well-reviewed indie openings with Bleecker Street’s Out Of Darkness, The Monk And The Gun (from the directors of Lunana: A Yak In The Classroom) and limited openings for The Taste Of Things, Perfect Days (Best International Feature nominated), Anthony Chen’s Drift, Bas Devos’ Here and Ennio by Giuseppe Tornatore, which premiered in Venice in 2021 and is finally getting a U.S. release.

Wim Wenders’ Perfect Days, Japan’s official Oscar submission that nabbed a nom, opened at six locations in New York and LA Wednesday, adding additional cities next week. The film written by Wenders and Takuma Takasaki stars Hirayama, a public toilet cleaner in Tokyo who seems utterly content with his simple life until a series of unexpected encounters reveal more of his unearthed past.

Neon had a qualifying run in November.

The following contains spoilers for Out of Darkness, in theaters now.

Pop culture has been much more likely to play the Stone Age for laughs, depicting prehistoric humans as clueless buffoons in shows and movies like The Flintstones, DreamWorks' popular The Croods and Year One. Director Andrew Cumming's dark survival thriller Out of Darkness brings back the danger of the Stone Age with a visceral, unrelenting story about early humans facing an unseen enemy as they search for a new home in a harsh landscape.

Cumming and screenwriter Ruth Greenberg emphasize just how little anyone would have understood about the world around them in the Stone Age, leaving their characters to act on instinct against forces they can't possibly comprehend. At the same time, the heroes in Out of Darkness remain recognizable and relatable, with human traits that have persisted across tens of thousands of years. Stripped of technology...

"Since the Stone Age" is a common expression one might use when describing how long they've been doing something. "They've been working together since the Stone Age," for example. However, a new movie hitting the masses this week quite literally takes place during this era, with its early humans banding together to protect themselves against some sort of evil entity. In a world where Parasite (2019) wins Best Picture, cinephiles shouldn't be deterred if they have to rely on subtitles for their next viewing experience. The characters in Out of Darkness speak a foreign dialect that sounds like a combination of several known languages, but don't let the language barrier fool you — the new film by Andrew Cumming is rich with modern-day themes about humanity's place in this world.

A unique Stone Age horror movie, Out of Darkness – previously titled The Origin – is now playing in theaters courtesy of Bleecker Street, and we’ve got an exclusive clip for ya today.

In this clip, the characters come across the disemboweled carcass of a woolly mammoth, which raises one terrifying question: what the hell is capable of killing such a massive beast?

Watch the clip below and find the trailer for Out of Darkness underneath.

We’ve been told, “It’s a tense, emotional, and incredibly crafted film; so much creativity went into making the paleolithic world – including the entire language spoken in the film, which was created specifically for this by a linguist and an archaeologist.”

In the film, “A small boat reaches the shores of a raw and desolate landscape. A group of six have struggled across the narrow sea to find a new home. They are starving,...

As we’re now deep into the middle of the first quarter of the “cinema year” of 2024, here comes yet another horror thriller creeping into the multiplexes. And just what sets this one apart from the other “spook-taculars”? Well, it does concern a disparate group of chiller flick tropes all fighting for survival as their companions are picked off “one by one”. Not unique, but this one’s setting is very different. This story takes place on the desolate landscape of this planet over 45,000 years ago. And no, in case you’re wondering, CGI-created kajiu aren’t the culprits. But something strange and weird is roaming about, an entity or creature (perhaps plural) that’s stalking this group, then striking from Out Of Darkness.

We first meet this motley “tribe” huddled around a flickering fire surrounded by pitch black. A preteen lad named Heron (Luna Mwezi) pleads with his father...

Plot: In the Old Stone Age, a disparate gang of early humans band together in search of a new land. But when they suspect a malevolent, mystical being is hunting them down, the clan are forced to confront a danger they never envisaged.

Review: When choosing a debut film, it takes a certain amount of cajónes to choose one set during the Paleolithic era. Just from a budget standpoint, the task seems impossible. But add in the difficulties of getting an audience to connect with your story, and it seems like something only a crazy person would do. But somehow director Andrew Cumming really pulls it off. In fact, I was shocked to discover that this was made by a first-timer because there’s such a command of the screen. Though, I’d argue that Out of Darkness is more of a story of survival than a straight-up horror film.

This week brings four new horror movies to the table, and they’re all releasing on the same day. That should make this Friday feel like Friday the 13th… even if it’s actually Friday the 9th.

Here’s all the new horror releasing on February 9, 2024!
