Sharing the video with his social media followers, Sir Anthony said: “Sunday greetings from Wales, the green and golden land of Dylan Thomas.”<\/p>\n

He took inspiration from Thomas for the caption, with “green and golden” also featured in the poem to describe the speaker’s happiness at being surrounded by nature.<\/p>\n

The two-time Oscar winner<\/a>‘s upcoming film, A Visit To Grandpa’s, follows a young boy who is sent to spend a summer with his eccentric grandfather on a Welsh farm, surprised by the adventures he finds.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Deadline about the project, Sir Anthony said: “This is a powerful and profoundly beautiful story, one that allows me to return to my Welsh roots while exploring the remarkable vision and prose of Dylan Thomas.”<\/p>\n

The film’s director DJ Caruso called it “one of the great honours of my directorial life” to bring Thomas’ story to life alongside Sir Anthony.<\/p>\n

The project, which began production in Wales this month, also features Doctor Who’s Aneurin Barnard and fellow Welsh actress Aimee-Ffion Edwards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sharing the video with his social media followers, Sir Anthony said: “Sunday greetings from Wales, the green and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":491295,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-491294","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=491294"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491294\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/491295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=491294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=491294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=491294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
