Traffic wardens halted filming of a new movie in Handbridge, Chester, starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Sean Bean, after issuing several parking tickets to vintage vehicles parked on double-yellow lines. Passers-by took photographs of the wardens placing tickets on the 1980s-era vehicles along Overleigh Road. Cheshire West and Chester Council, which is believed to have refused the crew’s request for a road closure, declined to comment on the incident. The film, entitled Anemone, which has, reportedly, been co-written by Day-Lewis’s 26-year-old son, is his post-retirement comeback film.
The movie centers around the “intricate relationships between fathers, sons, and brothers, and the dynamics of familial bonds’. Produced by Focus Features, it’s Day-Lewis’s first performance since retirement, following his last movie, The Phantom Thread, in 2017. Considered one of the greatest actors of his generation, he has won the Best Actor award in the Academy Awards three times.
There has been no publicized response from the production company or local council, but Handbridge ward councillor Matt Carter, who spoke to the council’s highway department, stated that they had not authorized the filming and had also refused an added application for a full road closure.
It’s unclear if the celebrities were around when the wardens arrived, though media reports claimed that Day-Lewis and Bean have been working together on location in Warrington for a new movie.
