"Last Resort Films has set Curtain Call, an original story developed by Daniel Day-Lewis and his son, Ronan Day-Lewis, who will direct.
The project follows on the heels of their much-anticipated collaboration Anemone, which is set to debut later this year and has already generated early awards buzz. Curtain Call will be the pair’s second feature together and represents the only project Day-Lewis has agreed to make with Last Resort Films.
The story centers on an aging Broadway star, played by Day-Lewis, who is pushed to the brink as he struggles with dementia. Cast in what may be his final role, he finds his grip on reality blurring as the play dredges up past regrets, lost loves, and flashes of brilliance. The result is a haunting and deeply theatrical meditation on memory, art, and legacy, culminating in an unforgettable finale.
Curtain Call further solidifies the Day-Lewis collaboration as one of the most anticipated in contemporary cinema.
“Working with my son has been the most rewarding creative partnership of my life,” Day-Lewis said in a statement. For Ronan Day-Lewis, the project expands on the intimate, formally daring style he first showcased with Anemone. “This isn’t just a story about theatre or decline,” he noted. “It’s about the beauty and fragility of holding on to what defines you, of what defined my father, and how performance itself can become both sanctuary and reckoning.”
Executives at Last Resort Films emphasized the significance of the collaboration. “Daniel has made it clear that this is the only way he will partner with Last Resort Films — by building films directly with Ronan,” said a spokesperson. “That trust is something we don’t take lightly, and it’s why Curtain Call has been given absolute priority on our slate.”
