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.

For Martin Scorsese and the Osage Nation’s Principal Chief Geoffrey Standing Bear, cultural respect was key to the filmmaker’s upcoming Killers of the Flower Moon.
“We greatly respected the way David Grann put his skills to a well-researched book and the way he met with our elders. We were comfortable with what came out,” said Standing Bear during a press conference with Scorsese of Grann’s 2017 non-fiction book on which the Scorsese film is based.
The book chronicles a series of murders of the Osage people following an oil boom and the subsequent FBI investigations into the killings, which became known as the Reign of Terror. When he heard that the film rights to the book had been sold, he and others in the Osage Nation were concerned.
“Historically the native peoples went to Hollywood to get work as extras in a band of Indians in black and white movies,...

Exclusive: Andrew Troy’s film I Am a Man – The True Story of Chief Standing Bear has been named as one of the first that will benefit from the Cherokee Nation Film Office’s tax incentive program, in support of filmmakers seeking filming locations and crew in Oklahoma. The Cnfo’s mission with its 1M incentive, announced earlier this year, is to entice more film and TV projects to shoot within the boundaries of the Cherokee Nation—following a recent influx of projects like Killers of the Flower Moon and Reservation Dogs—while also supporting Native stories and increasing the presence of Native Americans in every level of the film and television industry.
