There's no way he spends the next 20 years or whatever doing random shit. His kids are all basically grown, so he's going to be bored as hell eventually.

My bet is if anyone does it, it'll be PTA.

A biopic of Napoleon, for which he doesn't only learn french with corsian accent, but uses a then developped method to shrink himself a bit so he can play a 5 feet 7 guy. (not to mention that as usual he will life one year only in the same circumstances Napoleon had at the late 18th, early 19th century)

Maybe his wife can convinces him to do something smaller/personal like The Ballad of Jack and Rose again ?

PTA is the obvious answer. I'd like him to work again with Jimmy Sheridan.

Who on here suggested a PTA directed Lear adaptation with DDL and Joaquin as the fool?

Not to be a buzzkill but he ain't coming back I reckon - he has a massive ego (not a diss, just sayin') and there's no way he's mucking up one of the great cinema farewell roles that Phantom Thread was. I've said this before but there is no British actor who has 2 Oscars even where one of them is for lead. Think about that - no one in the UK has 2 Oscars except people with just supporting wins (Caine etc.). He hasn't just lapped the field like Pacino has (almost) done with the Triple Crown in the US........Day-Lewis has lapped the Oscar field - or at least UK actors - twice. When you open it up to US actors in his generation ........no rivals imo.... He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again. (That's a funny joke on his ditching/quitting Hamlet in mid-scene......... but also true  ) |

I think DDL will be back. With the effort he puts into every part he probably feels like quitting after each movie but just said it out loud this time. He was on a movie every five years rate anyway, so we'll probably be hearing something in a couple years. Wouldn't surprirse me if it's with a top director he's worked with before like PTA, Spielberg, or Scorsese. A biopic of Napoleon, for which he doesn't only learn french with corsian accent, but uses a then developped method to shrink himself a bit so he can play a 5 feet 7 guy. (not to mention that as usual he will life one year only in the same circumstances Napoleon had at the late 18th, early 19th century) I wish Kubrick's Napoleon script was filmed in the late 2000's with DDL as Napoleon and Marion Cotillard as Empress Josephine. Unfortunately I think DDL is probably too old to be believable as him now unless you're limiting it to his exile and death. |

He's 100% coming back, imho  Boredom and the need for attention/adulation will eventually take effect. If he was Sean Connery, Gene Hackman's or Jack Nicholson's age, a permenant "retirement" from acting might feel plausible, but he's only in his early 60's, and that's a helluva lot of time to kill while you still have stamina in you as an actor. As most think, when he gets drawn back, PTA is the most likely culprit. |
