Director Martin Scorsese has worked with actor Daniel Day-Lewis on two films, and he hopes that he will have the opportunity to work with the actor one more time.
The Killers of the Flower Moon director was recently presented with an award for Best Director at the National Board of Review Awards by Daniel Day-Lewis. Scorsese commented on his past collaborations with Day-Lewis, and said:
“We did two films together. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life, I must say. Maybe there’s time for one more.”
The first time that Scorsese and Day-Lewis worked together was on 1993’s The Age of Innocence, which also starred Michelle Pfeiffer and Winona Ryder. They then worked together in 2002’s Gangs of New York, where Day-Lewis played Bill the Butcher, a performance that earned him a Best Actor nomination at the 75th Academy Awards.
I would love to see Scorsese and Day-Lewis work on another movie together! But Day-Lewis retired from acting back in 2017. It would be great to see Day-Lewis just act again in general, but we’ll just have to wait and see if Scorsese can lure him out of retirement. I hope he does! Scorsese managed to bring Joe Pesci out of retirement to star in 2019’s The Irishman, so it might be possible.
Speaking at the National Board of Review Awards, Day-Lewis said of Scorsese, “I was a teenager when I discovered Martin’s work. With a light of his own making he illuminated unknown worlds that pulsed with a dangerous, irresistible energy — worlds that were mysterious to me and utterly enthralling. He illuminated the vast beautiful landscape of what is possible in film and he clarified for me what it is that one must ask of one self to work in faith.”
