In September 2024, it was announced that Daniel Day-Lewis would be making his acting return after retiring in 2017 following the release of Phantom Thread. Ronan Day-Lewis had been hired to direct the film and co-wrote it with Daniel, who is his father. Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley, and Safia Oakley-Green also joined the cast, with Jane Petrie serving as the costume designer and Chris Oddy as the production designer.{{cite web |last=Gajewski |first=Ryan |title=Daniel Day-Lewis Sets Acting Return for 'Anemone' With Son Ronan Directing |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/daniel-day-lewis-anemone-ronan-1236019335/ |access-date=October 1, 2024 |website=The Hollywood Reporter |date=October 1, 2024}}

A spokesperson for Cheshire West and Chester Council explained that, while a request for parking technical support vehicles in restricted areas had been granted, this did not include the prop cars, and a separate request for a full road closure application during filming had been rejected as it was assessed as "being too disruptive" for residents.{{cite news|url=https://www.localgov.co.uk/Traffic-wardens-ticket-prop-cars-on-Daniel-Day-Lewis-film-set-/61250|title=Traffic wardens ticket prop cars on Daniel Day-Lewis film set|last=Eichler|first=William|date=7 October 2024|work=localgov.co.uk|accessdate=14 November 2024}}
