Daniel Day-Lewis’ final screen performance teased in first Phantom Thread trailer

It appears as if Paul Thomas Anderson and Daniel Day-Lewis have stitched another jaw-dropping exercise in period extravagance.

The trailer for their latest collaboration — touted as Day-Lewis’ final film before a self-imposed retirement — dropped on Monday, days after the film’s official synopsis teased new details about the secretive film.

Widely considered a potential contender in several Academy Award categories, Phantom Thread marks Anderson’s first feature-length film in three years. Each of his directorial efforts following 2002’s Punch-Drunk Love have garnered at least two Oscar nods, with 2007’s There Will Be Blood — also a Day-Lewis collaboration–winning the esteemed actor his second of three competitive trophies in the lead actor category.

Phantom Thread is set for release on Dec. 25. Watch the first trailer above.
