WILL DANIEL DAY-LEWIS COME OUT OF RETIREMENT?
A clever paparazzi caught Daniel Day-Lewis walking out of Steven Spielberg’s NY office with Steven and a group of movie bigwigs including Irish playwright/filmmaker Jim (My Left Foot) Sheridan.Everyone looked happy. Coincidentally or NOT, Sheridan has been working on a film called The True Story of Chief Standing Bear. The story is set in Nebraska in 1879 and it’s about the first Native American granted civil rights in the US. One can’t HELP but wonder if Daniel is considering coming OUT of his 2017 retirement for this film. In The Last of the Mohicans (1993), Lewis played a half-white half-native American character successfully. Would he DARE to play a much admired Native American Chief, considering modern racial sensitivities? We shall see…
