Martin Scorsese is hoping there might be time for him to collaborate with Daniel Day-Lewis for one more movie.
On Thursday, Killers of the Flower Moon’s Scorsese was presented with an award for Best Director at the National Board of Review Awards by Daniel Day-Lewis.
In a video shared on Twitter by Matt Neglia, per DiscussingFilm, Scorsese commented on his past collaborations with Day-Lewis and teased that there could be time for them to make one more film together.
“We did two films together,” Scorsese said. “It was one of the greatest experiences of my life, I must say. Maybe there’s time for one more.”
What were Scorsese and Day-Lewis’ past collaborations?
Scorsese and Day-Lewis first worked together on 1993’s The Age of Innocence, which also starred Michelle Pfeiffer and Winona Ryder. Day-Lewis then played Bill the Butcher in 2002’s Gangs of New York, a performance that earned him a Best Actor nomination at the 75th Academy Awards.
Day-Lewis announced he was retiring from acting in 2017 following his role as Reynolds Woodcock in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom Thread. This was not, however, the first time that Day-Lewis retired from Hollywood, as he made a similar announcement in 1997 when he decided to take up a new profession as a shoe-maker before he then returned to make Gangs of New York, There Will Be Blood, Lincoln, and a number of other films.
Scorsese also famously brought Joe Pesci out of retirement to start in 2019’s The Irishman alongside Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.
Speaking at the National Board of Review Awards, per AP News, 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.”
