Ever since Daniel Day-Lewis made a rare appearance to present an award to Martin Scorsese, speculations have been spreading on the internet about his return to films with a Scorsese project. However, that dream may not happen anytime soon as one of the close friends of the actor has revealed that he is done with films. The revelation came from Day-Lewis’s My Left Foot director Jim Sheridan.

Daniel Day-Lewis will remain retired from acting, despite best efforts to lure him back. Apparently the actor is also most displeased with “streamers”.
We’ve known for a while that Daniel Day-Lewis, the actor known for roles in films like Phantom Thread, There Will Be Blood and Gangs Of New York, has retired from acting.
Just to be clear, nothing has changed on that front. In fact, we’ve simply got further confirmation that Day-Lewis is not looking to make a comeback of any sorts.
Director Jim Sheridan, speaking to ScreenDaily, said he still talks to Day-Lewis, but the actor isn’t interested in making another film.
“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. Film has been moved out of the public domain into a private domain – you have a remote,...

Despite Martin Scorsese teasing a possible collaboration with his “Gangs of New York” star Daniel Day-Lewis, the famed Oscar-winning Method actor is still firmly retired, according to director Jim Sheridan.
Sheridan worked with Day-Lewis on “My Left Foot,” “In the Name of the Father,” and “The Boxer,” with “My Left Foot” landing Day-Lewis one of his three Best Actor Academy Awards. Day-Lewis officially announced his retirement from acting in 2017 with Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Phantom Thread” as his last film.
“He says he’s done. I keep talking to him,” Sheridan told ScreenDaily. “I’d love to do something with him again. It’d be great to see Daniel coming back and doing something because he’s so good.”
You know what’s not “so good”? Streaming content — and that medium’s takeover has (further) soured the serious actor on the entertainment business, Sheridan said.

It sounds like Daniel Day-Lewis is serious about his retirement from acting and won’t be returning, at least according to his longtime director Jim Sheridan. The Irish filmmaker directed three of Day-Lewis’ most prominent films: “My Left Foot” (1989), “In the Name of the Father” (1993) and “The Boxer” (1997). Day-Lewis won the Oscar for best actor with “My Left Foot” and was also nominated for “In the Name of the Father.”

Daniel Day-Lewis may have drank his last milkshake after all. Despite some chatter that the three-time Oscar winner may be coming out of retirement, director Jim Sheridan is quelling the rumors, saying that any meetings they have had weren’t what fans may have been hoping for.
Speaking with Deadline at the Doha Film Festival in Qatar, Sheridan – who directed Daniel Day-Lewis three times, more than any other director – said that he and the actor did in fact meet but it was for a project that would have found the actor working behind the camera. “We were talking about a project. Daniel was only going to be involved, if he did get involved, as an executive producer, not as an actor.”
As for what this mystery project even was, Sheridan said, “It was on the life of Joe Kennedy, the patriarch of the Kennedy family…we haven’t advanced it,...

Jim Sheridan has dispelled rumors around a possible return to acting by Daniel Day-Lewis, who gave an Oscar-winning performance in the Irish director’s drama My Left Foot and also starred in his subsequent films In The Name Of The Father and The Boxer.
Rumors have been rife that Day-Lewis, who retired from acting in 2017, might be contemplating a return to the big screen after he was photographed by paparazzi coming out of a New York restaurant with Sheridan and Steven Spielberg in early January.
Sheridan said the trio had been holding a meeting about a possible reboot of his long-gestating project about the Kennedy family, focused on its social climber-patriarch Joseph Kennedy.
“We were talking about a project. Daniel was only going to be involved, if he did get involved, as an executive producer, not as an actor,” said Sheridan.

Upscale crossover sales agent Latido Films has acquired international sales rights to “Re-creation,” directed by legendary Irish filmmaker Jim Sheridan, whose “In the Name of the Father” won a Berlin Golden Bear in 1994.
Starring Vicky Krieps, a Cannes’ Un Certain Regard winner for “Corsage,” the docu-drama is co-written and co-directed by Irish artist and filmmaker David Merriman (“Rock Against Homelessness”). It will be unveiled to buyers at the European Film Market.
Like Sheridan’s prior five-hour documentary, SkyCrime’s “Murder at the Cottage,” “Re-creation” turns on what the earlier title calls Ireland’s most shocking unresolved crime whose victim, French TV producer Sophie Toscan du Plantier, was battered to death at her holiday home in West Cork, Ireland, in 1996.
A fiction/reality hybrid feature, “Re-creation” introduces a fictional jury, inspired by Sidney Lumet’s “12 Angry Men,” which sifts through the facts, lies and convenient truths behind the murder, Sheridan told Variety.

“And the lightweight world champion is…Yu! With one weight division conquered, K sets his protégé's sights on the next target: junior welterweight. This inevitably pits Yu against Yuto Takeda, a tenacious boxer who earned his belt through nothing but hard work—the antithesis to Yu's natural talent. Will Yuto prove to be the first force powerful enough to derail Yu's unstoppable path of destruction…?” (Ize Press)

Combat sports are considered among the first competitions that humanity engaged in, with both wrestling and various martial arts integrated into every culture. The stories around sports have deep roots as well, often following a familiar structure of underdog stories or deserved champions dominating their discipline. Indeed, there have been variations as a desire for more complex stories around professional competition has developed, but it is seldom one that entirely breaks the mold.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones they made in between.
We discuss everyone’s favorite method man: Daniel Day-Lewis. Our B-Sides are 1988’s Stars and Bars, Eversmile, New Jersey (1989), Jim Sheridan’s The Boxer, and Rebecca Miller’s The Ballad of Jack and Rose.
Returning guest Fiona Underhill joins us to discuss the myth-making around the actor, his process, as well as a few hot takes on whether some of his most-lauded credits are properly rated. Naturally, we also discuss his peak ‘90s hotness, and his influence, for better or worse, on a younger generation of actors.
The scope of our B-Sides unlock a few lesser-seen tools in Day-Lewis’ belt, from the farcical to the oddball. These are modes he doesn’t necessarily seem comfortable in as a younger star,...

Films about boxing have been found in abundance in the Japanese movie industry, with local filmmakers, however, frequently dealing with the losers of the sport rather than the winners. Shuji Terayama also made a similar effort back in 1977, in an approach, though, that moves both towards the aforementioned direction and the audience favorite ‘underdog' trope, while including intense elements of family drama.

One of the country’s most prolific musicians, Paul Simon was born on October 13, 1941, in Newark, New Jersey, and grew up in Queens, New York City. His love for music and gift for songwriting began at a young age, and he has enjoyed a varied career for over six decades.
Simon’s first successes came as one-half of a duo formed with his childhood friend, Art Garfunkel. Their debut album in 1964, “Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.,” flopped. However, the counterculture movement of the 1960s was just beginning, and before long, the duo’s folk/rock blend would become the anthem for that generation, and “The Sound of Silence” became their first hit.
Fueled by Simon’s masterful storytelling, their unique sound and contributions to the 1967 film “The Graduate,” Simon and Garfunkel became two of the most successful and notable musicians of the time. In 1970, the two released their fifth and final studio album,...

A lot can be gleaned by approaching work that brutally conveys the harsh realities of existence, dwelling on those truths we often push aside to navigate life with optimism. Death, starvation, human-made cruelty, and having your existence forgotten with time are all feelings that can make us feel frighteningly insignificant. Thankfully, art has always acted as a way to explore such themes with a buffer, knowing that the story is that of fiction, or at least outside of our struggle with mortality.

With that mid-September atmospheric outburst, Hurricane Lee did in the scheduled U.S. premiere of Alex Gibney’s new film In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon. Now, the honor of hosting the American debut goes to the Hamptons International Film Festival this Friday, where the documentary screens as the festival Centerpiece (Simon will appear in person there for a conversation moderated by Rolling Stone’s David Fear).

“People used to say I had my finger on the pulse,” Paul Simon tells Alex Gibney early in his artfully composed documentary, In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon. “I just have my finger out there and the pulse is running under it.” Either way, few people have had as central a role in American pop music and culture as Simon. Gibney, best-known for exposes including The Inventor, about Elizabeth Holmes’ tech-company fraud, and Going Clear, on Scientology, turns out to be the ideal director to explore Simon’s long, varied run.
Simon invited Gibney into his home studio in Wimberly, Texas, where the cameras watch him tinker with the sound on his latest album, Seven Psalms (released in May) and talk about his career, inspirations, aging and what the loss of hearing in his left ear has meant. With that album as an anchor, the film mostly flashes back and forth in time,...

Exclusive: Six-time Academy Award nominee Jim Sheridan (In the Name of the Father) has inked a deal to co-write, direct and produce the historical drama I Am a Man: The True Story of Chief Standing Bear with Andrew Troy.
The film with formal Resolutions of Support from the Ponca Tribe will depict the Ponca’s “Trail of Tears” march that led to the 1879 landmark trial of Standing Bear vs. the United States of America. This mostly unknown legal case helped all Native Americans to be considered “human beings” under the law, also setting legal precedent for many future civil rights matters within the U.S. courts.

This mostly unknown legal case helped all Native Americans to be considered “human beings” under the law, also setting legal precedent for many future civil rights matters within the U.S. courts.

“I can’t hide from you like I hide from myself,” sigh boygenius on their keenly anticipated debut album the record. In interviews, the indie supergroup comprising Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus have said that writing songs together has enabled them to be more “earnest” than in their solo material. This doesn’t mean that all 12 songs are straightforward confessionals. Most of them slot together with an appealing combination of simplicity and enigma – like those little puzzle cubes made of three types of wood. All the while, you can hear the careful questioning with which the songwriters have honed one another’s thoughts until they slot smoothly together to become satisfying tactile emotional experiences.
the record opens a cappella with the three women’s voices weaving through the old-timey melody of “Without You Without Them”. (The song was written by Dacus and it seems all three wrote independently...

Actor Emily Watson has recalled the response Daniel Day-Lewis gave her when she asked him about his method acting.
The pair co-starred in the 1997 Ira drama The Boxer together. Day-Lewis, who is now retired, was known for using method acting techniques when inhabiting roles.
In a new interview with The Guardian, Watson remembered questioning Day-Lewis on why he chose that approach.
“He said to me: ‘I’m not a good enough actor not to,” she said.
Watson herself does not method act, but spoke about the lengths she would go to prepare for a role.
“I need to immerse myself very fully for a role. It’s really about kidding your body that this is real,” she said. “You can find all sorts of different ways of tricking yourself.”
The 56-year-old actor was speaking ahead of her new film God’s Creatures, co-starring Paul Mescal, in which she plays a mother...

Brian Cox is calling out the very American way of Method acting.
The Scottish star of “Succession” addressed co-star Jeremy Strong’s approach to his character Kendall Roy in the hit HBO series, which is concluding after its upcoming fourth and final season.
“I’m glad he is not in pain personally,” Cox told Variety, calling Strong “a wonderful actor.” Yet the Method acting debate is rooted in what Strong represents, according to Cox.
“It’s really a cultural clash,” he said. “I don’t put up with all that American shit. I’m sorry. All that sort of ‘I think, therefore I feel.’ Just do the job. Don’t ‘identify.'”
Cox pointed to Strong’s former boss and mentor Daniel Day-Lewis, with whom Cox co-starred with on 1997’s “The Boxer.”
“He retired at the age of 55, and I’m going, ‘That’s when the roles become really interesting.

Last month, when “Succession” creator Jesse Armstrong announced that the fourth season of the Emmy-winning HBO drama would be its last, the internet howled in despair. But Brian Cox — who’s played the ferocious mogul Logan Roy since the show’s 2018 premiere — applauds Armstrong’s decision. “He’s very disciplined in that way, and also he’s very British in that way,” says Cox, who is Scottish, and in conversation seems to mention birthplace to explain behavior. “The American inclination is to milk it for all it’s worth.”
Not that Cox, 76, won’t feel the loss. “I’ll miss the cast, I’ll miss the atmosphere, I’ll miss the bonhomie,” he says, ticking off reasons during a recent Zoom interview from London. And Logan? “Logan, probably, I’ll miss a bit. But upward and onwards.”
Cox may be circumspect about the Murdochian founder of Waystar Royco — the mega-corporation at the show’s center,...

Boxing has always transferred well to the screen because it is an individual sport with individual stories. Boxers may have family, friends, managers, and a training corner, but aside from ringside yells of "cover-up!" and "go to the body!" these fighters are on their own. This isn't tennis or golf, and the stakes are higher than returning your opponent's serve or knocking a small white ball into a hole. This is boxing, a game of rules-based violence that sanitizes aggression into a test of speed, power, tactics, and strategy.
It is not just the ring that's fertile dramatic ground, either. Much of the intensity comes from these fighters' lives, which are often marked by crime, poverty, and hardship. It is no wonder that cinema has seen so many boxing films in its 120+ year history, producing a great deal of wheat but also a fair amount of chaff. To help you navigate this broad oeuvre,...

If Daniel Day-Lewis isn't the most sought-after actor on the planet, it's because most directors know not to bother with the courtship. The answer will most assuredly be no. He is perfectly happy to not act. After the completion of Jim Sheridan's "The Boxer" in 1997, Day-Lewis retreated to Italy, where he learned to cobble under the tutelage of master shoemaker Stefano Bemer. It took no less a filmmaker than Martin Scorsese to lure him back before cameras for 2002's "Gangs of New York."

In the two decades from 2002 to 2022, Daniel Day-Lewis has only appeared in half a dozen films, beginning with "Gangs of New York" and ending with "Phantom Thread," which was preceded by the announcement of his retirement in 2017. Day-Lewis had already gone into semi-retirement once after starring in "The Boxer" in 1997. He was famously off the grid, working as a shoemaker in Italy, when director Martin Scorsese approached him to play Bill "The Butcher" Cutting in "Gangs of New York."

Saturday Night Live opened without a skit. Instead, with the Russian invasion of Ukraine unfolding, the show featured the Ukrainian Chorus Dumka of New York.
Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong introduced the chorus, which then performed “Prayer for Ukraine” on the SNL stage. In front of the chorus was a table full of candles that spelled out ‘Kyiv.” McKinnon and Strong then returned to shout the signature, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”
The opening was a rare instance in which the show featured no skit, opting instead for a serious note after a major world event. In the first episode after 9/11 in 2001, SNL featured then-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani standing with New York police officers and firefighters, and musical guest Paul Simon singing “The Boxer.” Only at the end of the opener was there a moment of levity, when executive producer Lorne Michaels asks Giuliani, “Can we be funny?...

They swiftly responded by producing hundreds of the most iconic action films ever made, revolutionizing the genre through the hard work of top-shelf talent on both sides of the camera as well as unbeatable widescreen production value, much of it shot at ‘Movietown’, their huge, privately-owned studio on the outskirts of Hong Kong.

Los Angeles-based physician and producer Eric Esrailian, who recently received a medal from Pope Francis for his philanthropic activity around awareness of the Armenian Genocide, is developing a TV series entitled “Ceasefire” about the Northern Ireland peace process.
Oscar-winning Irish writer-director Terry George (“In the Name of the Father”) is attached to direct.
“Ceasefire” is to depict the dynamics and diplomacy that facilitated the historic Good Friday peace agreement of April 1998, which helped transform Northern Ireland after decades of bitter conflict, in hopes that it can help similar political situations.
“You look at the events around the world and you say: ‘Where has there been a successful brokering of peace between two hostile opposing forces?'” Esrailian said, citing other political flashpoints such as the Israel–Palestine conflict and the civil war in Ethiopia’s Tigray region.

Few movies manage to capture the intense emotion and aggression of sport the way that boxing films do. You’d think there’s little room to manoeuvre in terms of depicting this deceptively straightforward sport, yet filmmakers all over the world have enraptured audiences time and time again with tales of battered warriors fighting the ultimate zero to hero battle. The allure of boxing films means it’s no surprise that less than six months after the wildly successful “Rocky” (1976) made its debut in Japan, Shuji Terayama’s “The Boxer” landed on the scene.

The first Heart single to feature Nancy Wilson on lead vocals was “These Dreams,” with an iconic video that featured the guitarist and her sister Ann with peak Eighties hair, silk blazers, fog, and some more hair. But flash-forward to the present — with all that glam preserved on a high shelf like a can of hairspray collecting dust — and the song still holds up, particularly when Wilson performs it on acoustic with her husky vocals. Every second of the night, she’s lived another life.

The Irish playwright and filmmaker’s new project delves into the murder of television producer Sophie Toscan du Plantier in West Cork. Oscar-nominated Irish playwright and filmmaker Jim Sheridan is now working on his first documentary series project, entitled Murder at the Cottage: The Search for Justice for Sophie. The Dublin-born helmer is best known for his fiction films My Left Foot (1989), In the Name of the Father (1993), The Boxer (1997) and In America (2002). The five-part documentary series revolves around the murder of television producer Sophie Toscan du Plantier in West Cork, Ireland. In 1996, two days before Christmas, Sophie, the wife of French filmmaker Daniel Toscan du Plantier, was killed at her holiday cottage in Schull. The murder rocked the quiet Irish town, and 24 years later, the case remains a mystery. The key suspect, journalist Ian Bailey, was quickly arrested by local police following eye-witness reports,...

Exclusive: London-based Ten10 Films and Amsterdam-based Le Boxeur Films have acquired exclusive life story rights to Frits Veerman, a whistleblower who claims to have been scapegoated and silenced for reporting one of the biggest thefts of nuclear secrets in history.
In an interview in the Financial Times Magazine this weekend, Veerman will tell the story of how he worked for a British/German/Dutch uranium enrichment program in the 1970s and was a colleague and friend of the nuclear spy, Dr Aq Khan – a man the CIA called “as dangerous as Osama Bin Laden”.
When Veerman discovered that Khan was a spy, he repeatedly reported Khan to the authorities but was ignored. This allowed Khan to escape with nuclear blue-prints and centrifuge parts stolen from his Amsterdam workplace. Khan went on to help build Pakistan’s nuclear bomb with the stolen data, and then sold the technology and know-how to North Korea and Iran.
