The Irish based actor Daniel Day-Lewis (who won an Oscar for Jim Sheridan's My Left Foot) is reported to keen to play Irish playwright Samuel Beckett in a biopic set to go into production next year. Day-Lewis's may return to movie making in Ireland if the project goes ahead. His last film was back in 1997 when he starred in Jim Sheridan's movie The Boxer.

Day-Lewis is currently filming Martin Scorsese's Gangs Of New York with Leonardo DiCaprio and another Irish actor Liam Neeson.

Day-Lewis, who won his Oscar for playing paraplegic Irish writer Christy Brown in 1989's My Left Foot, lives in Ireland and holds an Irish passport.
