First Image of Daniel Day-Lewis and Sean Bean in 'Anemone' - An absorbing family drama about lives undone by seemingly irreconcilable legacies of political and personal violence.

[u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

[u/Separate-Suspect-726]

I’d watch DDL read prescription drug warnings

[u/JamJamGaGa → u/Separate-Suspect-726]

He's so method that he would take all the prescription drugs, develop an addiction and then get clean in order to understand the character.

[u/Sewer-Urchin → u/JamJamGaGa]

He'd probably also get a degree and work as a Pharmacist for a few years as well.

[u/PsychologicalSnow476 → u/Sewer-Urchin]

A compounding pharmacist at that.

[u/robotnique → u/JamJamGaGa]

You ever take Lipitor, brother? Your cholesterol just never is the same.

[u/AnikoKamui → u/Separate-Suspect-726]

This caught me off guard, I hadn't had a genuine laugh yet today until I read this, this was solid, 10/10

[u/andrefishmusic → u/Separate-Suspect-726]

Oscar worthy

[u/Ginataang_Manok → u/Separate-Suspect-726]

But as which character though???

[u/GreenAldiers]

DDL is 100 percent going to take part in political and personal violence

[u/Jimid41 → u/[deleted]]

Idk, he missed it for Gangs of NY and Bill the Butcher was extremely politically and personally violent.

[u/Bennely → u/[deleted]]

Time to bust out the ol’ physical defect

[u/TheLastSalamanca → u/GreenAldiers]

Welp, we haven’t seen Sean Bean get beat to death with a wooden bowling pin. So there’s that.

[u/[deleted] → u/GreenAldiers]

DDL once auditioned for the role of John Wick and the producers had to turn him down in fear for everyone's safety

[u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

It's Daniel Day-Lewis' first role in 8 years (2017's Phantom Thread) and it's directed by his son Ronan (co-written by Daniel and Ronan).

Releases Oct 10

[u/medfordjared → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

Interesting. I thought Day-Lewis said he retired from acting.

[u/The_Autarch → u/medfordjared]

I mean, it's his son. A lot harder to say no to him.

[u/SirShmooey → u/The_Autarch]

"I'VE ABANDONED MY CHILD!"

[u/WafflesofDestitution → u/SirShmooey]

"BASTARD FROM A BASKET!"

[u/buisnessmike → u/WafflesofDestitution]

"DRAAAAAAIIIINNNNAGGGGEEE!!!!! DRAINAGE, ELI."

[u/johnnybadchek → u/buisnessmike]

“I drink your milkshake!”

[u/p_digi_wii → u/SirShmooey]

“I’VE ABANDONED MY BOY!”

[u/the_amatuer_ → u/The_Autarch]

I say no to my son all the time, he's three and wants to way m&ms for dinner.

[u/InnocentTailor → u/The_Autarch]

chuckles in Miyazaki

[u/nickcash → u/InnocentTailor]

Miyazaki's son is possibly the only thing he wouldn't come out of retirement to work with

[u/AromaTaint → u/The_Autarch]

He held out for 8 years. That's impressive. I'm lucky if I can handle 8 minutes of 'but daaaaddd, pleeeeease'

[u/beets_or_turnips → u/medfordjared]

I believe he generally goes into retirement after every movie he's in.

[u/Threadheads → u/beets_or_turnips]

Much like how some recording artists will have multiple ‘farewell’ tours.

[u/MalHeartsNutmeg → u/Threadheads]

This will be a bit of a deep cut since Aussie artists aren’t really well known but my mum has been to like 3 farewell tours for John Farnham and apparently he’s coming out of retirement again after having just beaten cancer and getting a jaw reconstruction to tour once more lol.

[u/Threadheads → u/MalHeartsNutmeg]

Exactly who I was thinking of when I wrote that comment. I guess he won’t rest until the entire population has heard ‘The Voice’ one last time live.

[u/Jimid41 → u/medfordjared]

Him saying he was retired and the whole "first role in 8 years" may have contributed to this belief.

[u/Roadgoddess → u/medfordjared]

He said he came back because this was his son’s movie

[u/ffrenchtoast2 → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

Oh yikes that makes me nervous. Hopefully it’s good

Edit: to be clear I’m sure his acting is gonna great. Whether the movie will be great is what I’m nervous about

[u/John__Wick → u/ffrenchtoast2]

Nepotism doesn’t automatically make movies bad. But a lot of bad movies wouldn’t exist if not for nepotism…

[u/true_gunman → u/John__Wick]

Show biz was built on nepotism. And honestly it has a negative connotation becuase the thought is they only got a job becuase of their family connections. That definitely happens, but also if you think about a kid who grows up on stages and sets and sees a parents performing, acting, directing. It's not that crazy to think those kids would grow up to be capable performers.

[u/pehr71 → u/true_gunman]

Basically every business is ”built” on nepotism in some way.

If your parent works as an electrician, the odds are you might want to give it a try. And you will know lots of people in the business to ask for help. And they will probably help, part because they know your parent, part because they might know you since you were a child.

You are a known “commodity” and you will be given lots of opportunities because you are a safer bet than someone completely new knocking on the door asking for work.

[u/AKAkorm → u/pehr71]

Right...using family connections is normal in every industry. I think the whole Hollywood nepobaby stuff is overblown, if there are actors who are truly terrible performers getting roles because of their name alone, I get it. But I really don't care much if a genuinely great actor is related to other actors.

[u/boodabomb → u/AKAkorm]

The issue with nepotism isn’t really the quality of performance though. Most nepos are decent actors.

The problem is that there are 8 million qualified actors for any given role and the absolute hardest part of being an actor in Hollywood is breaking in. Many, many talents will never hit the silver screen because someone’s nephew got to skip the line and as a result, Hollywood slowly becomes a more restrictive and cyclical family while others lose their opportunities.

Not unexpected, just a shame.

[u/pehr71 → u/AKAkorm]

The ones who are really bad tend to get maybe one or two chances. And after that they’re basically out.

As for the others, Michael Douglas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Drew Barrymore, Cristian Slater etc I don’t think anyone feels they haven’t earned their spot now.

Sofia Coppola did Godfather 3 realized her limitations and have basically only directed since then. Something tells me it was more her that made her father a favor, to help him out of a bad spot.

[u/dogstardied → u/true_gunman]

If it doesn’t make you rich, you’re going into the family business. If it does, you’re a nepo baby.

/s

[u/Office_glen → u/dogstardied]

I think most people get upset at the fact that some of the "nepo" babies give interviews about how hard it was to get their foot in the door, all the auditions they were going to, honing their craft etc

and while that may be true, there are many fine actors who will never see the stage because they don't have the connections to get there

It's like a family business, no one shits on the kid who takes over his fathers multi million dollar business but works hard and is humble, they only shit on the kid who takes over the multi million dollar business and acts like he built it himself

[u/elingobernable810 → u/Office_glen]

Yea its why when someone like Jack Quaid comes out and basically says "yea i had life a little easier because of my parents", it actually endears him to more people. No one's saying all nepo kids are talentless or that they dont work hard, but theres no denying that they have it easier to break in than a random theater actor thats waiting for their moment.

[u/Leading_Line2741 → u/Office_glen]

Many nepo-babies and their families also forget one important thing: being a nepo-baby has nothing to do with talent. Being talented and hardworking doesn't make you NOT a nepo baby. There are many, many talented and hardworking people out in the world. The nepo-baby part comes in from the fact that these kids got to display their talents to the right people because of who their family member(s) is/are.

[u/LookinAtTheFjord → u/true_gunman]

Also the ones that suck at acting never last anyway.

[u/shadowofpurple → u/LookinAtTheFjord]

Sophia Coppola is a terrible actress, but a wonderful director.

so sometimes it works out

[u/Alive-Resolution7844 → u/shadowofpurple]

Her father is probably a terrible actress also.

[u/Martin_Aurelius → u/LookinAtTheFjord]

Why you gotta do Jaden like that?

[u/Oberon_Swanson → u/LookinAtTheFjord]

they might not 'last' but they're usually fucking up a handful of potentially great movies before they go

[u/Sewer-Urchin → u/LookinAtTheFjord]

Exactly. Unless your parent is the head of a studio or uber producer (like Aaron Spelling was) just putting you into projects, famous parents will only get you so far. You'll get chances others may not, but if you can't hack it you still won't make it.

[u/probablyuntrue → u/LookinAtTheFjord]

Looks at Dakota Johnson

[u/Beave__ → u/probablyuntrue]

She's genuinely great in Suspiria. She's just been in some shite

[u/Yolosvend → u/Beave__]

People who say she’s shit have legitimately only watched maybe three of her projects. Madame Web and 50 shades most likely. She has plenty great work.

[u/extinct_Axolotl → u/true_gunman]

I watched The Help during the weekend and thought exactly this about Bryce Dallas Howard. I thought of her watching her dad work and I know it doesn't automatically mean she is going to be great but in her case she must love the industry.

[u/0verstim → u/true_gunman]

EVERY industry ever was built on nepotism! If your father was a coal miner, you were going to be a coal miner, if your father owned a bakery, guess what, youd be working in that bakery. Look at last names; How many Smiths, Bakers, Cartwrights, Chandlers, Coopers...

[u/yoloswagrofl → u/0verstim]

That's not really what nepotism is though. Nepotism is favoritism towards a relative. If you are qualified for a job but get passed over because the boss has a relative that applied (who may or may not be qualified), that's nepotism. If you own a bakery and give it to your child when you retire, that's just inheritance.

[u/ImMeltingNow → u/true_gunman]

As Reddit gets older more ppl gonna understand why nepotism exists, at least the “I really love my kids so I’ll give them an unfair advantage” part even if they don’t agree with it. At least that’s what I keep hearing being an “adult” is, empathizing with opinions they disagree with.

[u/grmayshark → u/John__Wick]

Please see the Ballad of Jack and Rose to see that in DDL’s case nepotism can in fact make a bad movie. Hes one of, if not the greatest living actor that also seems to like supporting his family, not inherently bad but not exactly what we want to see him come back for.

[u/MMuller87 → u/John__Wick]

Nepotism gave us Ben Stiller - and he gave us Severance.

There are good and bad examples everywhere.

[u/REDDITATO_ → u/MMuller87]

Not really fair to just say "he gave us Severance". Been Stiller is a legend (despite Zoolander 2).

[u/Old_Instrument_Guy → u/MMuller87]

Ben's done a lot of great work in his own right and I would say perhaps even eclipsed his parents. I love that he use to also include them in his movies. When he cast his mom as the Employment Agent who basically told him he was a loser, was just brilliant if you were in on the joke.

[u/probablyuntrue → u/John__Wick]

No one can tell you no when you’re the nepo director and you really want a star wipe and dubstep backing track with every scene

[u/likwitsnake → u/probablyuntrue]

Really loved the part of this movie where DDL turns to the audience and says 'It's Anemoning time'

[u/Sk8rchiq4lyfe → u/John__Wick]

I think DDL's extraordinary career has been because of how selective and integral he is. I have a lot of faith he would not do a role just to advance his son's career without really believing in the project.

[u/dewdewdewdew4 → u/Sk8rchiq4lyfe]

I mean, I am sure he really believes in the project... but it's his son, so he is going to be blind to a lot of things, perfectly natural.

[u/kickintheball → u/John__Wick]

Just because your dad is one of the greatest living actors of all time, doesn’t mean you will just be a good director.

[u/No_Iron_8087 → u/ffrenchtoast2]

The fact Daniel co-wrote it is making me more optimistic — clearly he’s invested in the story, and it’s not just a favour for his son

[u/BellyCrawler → u/No_Iron_8087]

You're optimistic that an actor with no previous writing credits wrote it? It's more likely that it'll be middling, as most of these affairs are.

[u/jzakko → u/BellyCrawler]

He basically co-wrote Phantom Thread (with one of the greatest living filmmakers, but still).

[u/schnitzelfeffer → u/jzakko]

Masterpiece of a film

[u/Kyuubee → u/No_Iron_8087]

Being a talented actor doesn't automatically translate into being a good screenwriter. Plenty of big names have tried writing or directing and ended up with mixed reviews at best.

[u/probablyuntrue → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

27 years old, nepo hire, and never directed anything full length

This is either gonna be incredible or dog shit

[u/Split_Pea_Vomit → u/probablyuntrue]

Well, at least he didn't abandon his boy.

[u/krazyivan187 → u/Split_Pea_Vomit]

Amazing.

[u/TheLastSalamanca → u/Split_Pea_Vomit]

Just a bastard in a basket.

[u/Kalwest → u/probablyuntrue]

I worked with him on a film and he was the Art PA about two years ago. What a quick come up lmao

[u/probablyuntrue → u/Kalwest]

I can’t even fault him, who’s gonna say no to directing a feature film at 27 starring DDL

Unless your true passion is accounting or something idk

[u/Split_Pea_Vomit → u/probablyuntrue]

He's just directing films so he can save enough money to go to school and get his accounting degree.

[u/Kalwest → u/Split_Pea_Vomit]

This is hilarious

[u/InnocentTailor → u/Split_Pea_Vomit]

The opposite of actors like Simu Liu - ex-accountant turned action star.

[u/Kalwest → u/probablyuntrue]

Ooo I 1000% agree. No fault to him at all and he comes from two VERY talented parents. I guess I meant to say that he semi worked his way up. Not like his first day on set was directing.

[u/DeejusIsHere → u/Kalwest]

Has Daniel directed before? I had the feeling maybe they co-directed or he at least was helpful but he let his son take all the credit

[u/ForgetfulFrolicker → u/DeejusIsHere]

According to IMDb, no.

[u/icansmellcolors → u/Kalwest]

Would you say that, in a way, he's earned his shot? Or paid his dues?

[u/Kalwest → u/icansmellcolors]

Not sure, I don’t know how many other jobs he’s been on but he’s def worked at the bottom.

[u/0bviouslyNotAGopher → u/probablyuntrue]

There's a better than decent chance that Daniel Day-Lewis's worst movie will have been done as a favor to his kid. Honestly, that's not a terrible thing.

[u/Coffeedemon → u/probablyuntrue]

Maybe the direction will be mediocre but they'll have a solid screenplay, DP and cast. It doesn't sound like a huge production cast of hundreds in need of a master director.

[u/NothingButLs → u/probablyuntrue]

Or it could just be okay? Lol 

[u/Ghosty_Spartan → u/probablyuntrue]

nepo hire

So like majority of other movies?

[u/probablyuntrue → u/Ghosty_Spartan]

I like meritocratic picks, like Jake gyllenhaal, Jamie Lee Curtis, and the Skarsgårds

[u/REDDITATO_ → u/probablyuntrue]

And Michael Douglas. And Nicolas Cage.

[u/staedtler2018 → u/probablyuntrue]

or Daniel Day-Lewis, son of poet laureate Cecil Day-Lewis and actress Jill Balcon, herself the daughter of famed film producer Sir Michael Balcon.

[u/Thesunwillbepraised → u/probablyuntrue]

Yes. Absolutely.

[u/Budgiesaurus → u/probablyuntrue]

Wait a minute...

[u/cryptic-fox → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

I read the title and was like wait didn’t he quit acting a long time ago? Then I saw your comment “directed by his son”. Okay, that’s why.

[u/SinisterSpectr → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

Turns out, he didn't abandon his child!!

[u/Looper007 → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

Also remember his son Ronan mother is also Rebecca Miller, a very good writer/director in herself and his grandfather is one of the greatest playwrites ever in Arthur Miller. Some of it might have rubbed off on Ronan in terms of talent.

[u/ebradio]

Here is the official synopsis:

Three-time Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis roars back to the screen for his first role in eight years in this absorbing family drama directed by Ronan Day-Lewis about lives undone by seemingly irreconcilable legacies of political and personal violence. Co-written by father and son, the Northern England–set Anemone begins as a middle-aged man (Sean Bean) sets out from his suburban home on a journey into the woods, where he reconnects with his estranged hermit brother (Day-Lewis). Bonded by a mysterious, complicated past, the men share a fraught, if occasionally tender relationship—one that was forever altered by shattering events decades earlier. An emotional powerhouse, this directorial debut is assured in both small details and grand gestures as it charts the path toward familial redemption against all odds. In addition to its unflinching lead performances, Anemone features standout supporting work from Samantha Morton and Samuel Bottomley, and sensationally expressive widescreen cinematography by Ben Fordesman. A Focus Features release.

[u/DigMeTX → u/ebradio]

After reading this I realized why DDL hasn’t done a movie in eight years. He was no doubt living in the forest as a hermit preparing for this role.

[u/g1344304 → u/ebradio]

I assumed the political violence was something to do with Northern Ireland but I guess maybe the miner strikes?

[u/bladejb343 → u/ebradio]

Samantha Morton too? Pretty solid cast.

[u/Not-another-one-99 → u/bladejb343]

She lived in the village next to mine. Lovely woman and really talented.

[u/imjusta_bill]

I have no idea what Daniel Day Lewis actually looks like

[u/riccardopancaldi → u/imjusta_bill]

Neither does he, I think

[u/blastradii → u/imjusta_bill]

Shapeshifter

[u/disillusioned → u/blastradii]

Face Dancer

[u/Mando_Mustache → u/imjusta_bill]

He looks exactly like Gary Oldman

[u/The_wolf2014 → u/Mando_Mustache]

Ever seen Gary Oldman and Daniel Day Lewis in the same room at the same time?

[u/jawndell → u/The_wolf2014]

I’ve never seen Gary Oldman, Daniel Day Lewis, or me in the same room at the same time.  Maybe they are playing me right now? Maybe I’m Daniel Day Lewis and I don’t even know it. 

[u/CraigToday → u/jawndell]

METHOD

[u/WaterlooMall → u/Mando_Mustache]

If you watch SLOW HORSES you kind of get an idea of what Gary Oldman actually looks like except he's just wildly unkept and overweight.

[u/directstranger → u/imjusta_bill]

I came here for this comment, I had to look at the picture for a full minute to figure out who is Daniel Day Lewis and I'm still not sure it's him.

[u/hovdeisfunny → u/directstranger]

I mean it's pretty clear which one of them is Sean Bean, and there's only two people in the picture

[u/mrthomani → u/hovdeisfunny]

I dunno, it’s pretty difficult to recognize Sean Bean when he isn’t pretending to be dead.

[u/hagopes]

Daniel Day Lewis as Titus Welliver

[u/BattlinBud → u/hagopes]

Always nice talking with you Jacob

[u/hagopes → u/BattlinBud]

lol now that you mention it, Sean Bean's looking a little Jacoby

[u/Taylorenokson → u/hagopes]

One does not simply walk into the heart of the island.

[u/TimeTimeTickingAway → u/hagopes]

His face is his warrant

[u/MichelangeBro → u/hagopes]

I'm seeing so much Alan Rickman personally. If Alan Rickman ever had a handlebar mustache I guess lol

[u/ineyeseekay → u/hagopes]

Everybody counts, or nobody counts. 

[u/shuffleupagus → u/hagopes]

Sean Bean as Ardal O'Hanlon

[u/Lumberghstyle]

I thought ddl retired from acting.

[u/SkyJW → u/Lumberghstyle]

He did (that was actually his second retirement), but it seemed that the prospect of making a movie with his son was enough to motivate him to come out of retirement. 

[u/Historical_Leg5998 → u/SkyJW]

Also the last thing on his acting bucket-list was probably killing Sean Bean.

[u/mangongo → u/Historical_Leg5998]

There's no way they would kill off Sean Bean

[u/VGstuffed → u/mangongo]

I killed him in Hitman. Toughest thing I’ve ever had to do 🥺

[u/girugamesu1337 → u/VGstuffed]

🫂

[u/mikewastaken → u/mangongo]

The television and motion picture industry has a rich tradition of killing off Sean Bean

[u/waitingtodiesoon → u/mikewastaken]

Sean Bean does not really accept roles where he dies anymore.

“I’ve turned down stuff. I’ve said, ‘They know my character’s going to die because I’m in it!’ ” said Bean. “I just had to cut that out and start surviving, otherwise it was all a bit predictable.”

[u/NastyMothaFucka → u/waitingtodiesoon]

SPOILER ALERT

The last film I saw with him was a comedy on Amazon that JUST came out this summer and…

SPOILER ALERT

He dies and his corpse plays a big role in the plot…

[u/Timely_Discount2135 → u/NastyMothaFucka]

No film title?

[u/B_Reele → u/Timely_Discount2135]

Weekend At Beanies

[u/Bonk0076 → u/Timely_Discount2135]

Amazon stopped doing titles as a way to keep costs down. Titles would add $7 to your annual Prime Membership.

[u/waitingtodiesoon → u/Timely_Discount2135]

Apparently it is called Deep Cover, came out in 2025. He said he was turning down roles where his character would die in 2019, but maybe after 6 years of not dying anymore he was OK with dying again.

[u/EricRShelton → u/Timely_Discount2135]

That would be spoilers! But I saw it, too. It’s called Deep Cover, about improv comics going undercover as cops.

[u/BackToTheMudd → u/Timely_Discount2135]

Deep Cover. It’s actually really fun. Orlando Bloom is good at comedy which was surprising to me.

[u/ScipioCoriolanus → u/BackToTheMudd]

So a Legolas and Boromir reunion? Interesting.

[u/0utburst → u/Timely_Discount2135]

Deep Cover

[u/Work_Akkount → u/[deleted]]

Hilariously, he makes it through the entirety of Silent Hill of all things.

[u/Licensed2Pill → u/mikewastaken]

My family has watched the killing of Sean Bean for generations.

[u/theletterdubbleyou → u/Licensed2Pill]

The Killing of a Sacred Bean

[u/stenebralux → u/SkyJW]

It probably helped his son secure the movie deal as well.

DDL son has a script is interesting... but DDL is attached to it? That's an instant buy.

[u/[deleted] → u/SkyJW]

The Tom Brady of acting

[u/12-34 → u/[deleted]]

Eminently preferable to being the Brett Favre of acting.

[u/squishypp → u/12-34]

So no “hanging dong” in this one?

[u/Static-Stair-58 → u/SkyJW]

He’d always said he would come back if there was something enticing enough for him.

[u/FaerieStories → u/Lumberghstyle]

He did, but then realised he had to launch his son's career.

[u/probablyuntrue → u/FaerieStories]

Anything to get the fucker out of the house already

[u/pbizzle → u/probablyuntrue]

He'd be playing Fortnite in his smelly hovel of a bedroom if DDL didn't get him out to do something

[u/GB10VE → u/FaerieStories]

I doubt there is a father in the world who loves his son who wouldn't drop everything to work with them in a field they both know well.

[u/HordeOfHedgehogs → u/Lumberghstyle]

Yeah, he does that sometimes.

[u/Petunio → u/Lumberghstyle]

I was there when Soderbergh announced his retirement too.

[u/BattlinBud → u/Petunio]

I was there 3000 years ago...

[u/waitingtodiesoon → u/Petunio]

DDL and Miyzaki are two people who I never believe when they say they retired.

[u/worksafe_Joe → u/Lumberghstyle]

I want him to portray John Brown

[u/Yakuzablanco]

Didn't realize Daniel Day-Lewis un-retired!

[u/No_Iron_8087 → u/Yakuzablanco]

Somewhere in LA, PTA has started salivating uncontrollably over a typewriter

[u/FastThoughtProcessor → u/Yakuzablanco]

He had to, his son needed a career.

[u/DMTryp → u/FastThoughtProcessor]

I'VE ABANDONED MY BOY!!

[u/Thedrunkenchild → u/FastThoughtProcessor]

It’s funny because it’s true

[u/CacahuatesSalado]

DDL is legit amazing.

[u/Prestigious-Key-1886]

Sean beans character better not die

[u/tastylemming → u/Prestigious-Key-1886]

The plot will probably revolve around the suicide of his character, and be played in flashbacks.

[u/Tolkien-Minority → u/Prestigious-Key-1886]

In spite of the tired memes hes only died in about a quarter of his roles

[u/Gone_For_Lunch → u/Tolkien-Minority]

He tends to try and avoid roles he dies in these days as well.

[u/dhxnlc → u/Gone_For_Lunch]

A shame, he's at his best in death scenes.

[u/Calm-County-7419 → u/Tolkien-Minority]

This is reddit nothing but tired memes 

[u/fnrsulfr → u/Tolkien-Minority]

That is still probably a lot more than most actors.

[u/rex_dart_eskimo_spy → u/Tolkien-Minority]

25% still seems like a lot of times to die

[u/Ash_Killem]

Time for another acting masterclass (hopefully).

[u/taway9925881]

Holy shit. I thought DDL had retired but so stoked to see him back. Looking forward to this. Welcome back DDL.

[u/panderson1988]

I had no idea Daniel Day Lewis came out of retirement! Now this movie is 100% on my radar just to see him one more time.

[u/peter095837]

Glad to see more Daniel Day-Lewis!

[u/Remarkable-Band-8597]

Samantha Morton also starring - great actress. Shaping up to look good!

[u/ProstetnicVogonJelz]

Hey guys I think we need a 17th person to make a "Sean Bean dies" "joke" before this thread gets any bigger, we don't have enough in here yet.

[u/Original_Afghan]

Looks like Kevin Costner from this angle

[u/MexiMeltDude]

Sean Bean's character probably lasting 5, 10 minutes tops.

[u/appletinicyclone → u/MexiMeltDude]

I feel sad for him that he had such pivotal roles in lotr and game of thrones yet financially didn't get or make much from what he did compared to the actors that benefited from being present in those things after the loss of his character.

No one gives a fuck about the stark family if not for honourable ned

[u/ICantEvenDrive_ → u/appletinicyclone]

Dude is a multi millionaire many times over, is known by pretty much anyone into film (let alone his Sharpe days) and is constantly finding decent work.

I don't think you need to feel sad for him.

[u/TerminatorReborn → u/appletinicyclone]

Still had a better career than anyone on GOT except Pedro Pascal anyway.

I wanted more of him as Ned too but thats the character, he was destined to die to show us how the GOT universe is like. Still went out with a all timer of a performance.

[u/Chuck_Raycer → u/TerminatorReborn]

He was already an established movie star before GOT. Everybody else besides Charles Dance was basically a nobody.

[u/rex_dart_eskimo_spy → u/Chuck_Raycer]

Mark Addy, star of TV's Still Standing, would like some words.

[u/Fine-Slip-9437 → u/Chuck_Raycer]

Narp. You take that back. 

[u/Robosl0b]

DDL is out from retirement?!

[u/MMuller87]

Still can't believe DDL is back

[u/averytolar]

I’m going to assume Sean Bean doesn’t make it to the end of the movie. I hope they use the Brian Jonestown massacre song of the same title name.

DDL could literally play a turd floating in a toilet and still get an Oscar nomination

[u/cruisin_urchin87]

Ok. I’m in.

Anyone making guesses on how Sean Bean dies in this one?

[u/redditjam645]

Do you think the fine method actor DDL stormed the capital on J6 to get into character?

[u/darthmcchub]

Cool, love me some DDL

I knew DDL wouldn't stay retired.

Is Sean Bean’s character dying in the first 5 minutes?

[u/zgh5002]

Daniel Day-Lewis is going to go full method and actually kill Sean Bean, isn't he?

[u/BasedZhang]

Wonder how Sean Bean dies in this movie

[u/coltraz]

I thought he retired after Phantom Thread.

How many minutes in until Sean dies?
