Director Jim Sheridan shares an update about the actor Daniel Day-Lewis. Sheridan reveals he is in touch with Day-Lewis, who no longer wishes to work in the movies. The actor announced his retirement in 2017 before releasing his last film, Phantom Threads.

Jim Sheridan On His Conversations With Daniel Day-Lewis
In a conversation with an entertainment portal, Sheridan revealed, “He says he’s done; I keep talking to him. I’d love to do something with him again. He’s like everybody else, he opens up the streamers, and there’s seven thousand choices; none of them are good.”
The director added, “Film has been moved out of the public domain into a private domain; if you have a remote, you can stop it. It’s not the same experience. It’d be great to see Daniel coming back and doing something ’coz he’s so good.”
Sheridan continued, “Daniel Day-Lewis will no longer be working as an actor. He is immensely grateful to all of his collaborators and audiences over the many years. This is a private decision, and neither he nor his representatives will make any further comment on this subject.”

To every person that works in the crucible of the imagination, he’s a living treasure. As a man and as a filmmaker, I love and revere him.”
