The highly anticipated “Peaky Blinders” movie is set to bring back Cillian Murphy as the infamous Tommy Shelby. Directed by Tom Harper, who worked on the first season of the series, the film promises to condense the gripping narrative into a cinematic experience.
Netflix has officially announced the “Peaky Blinders” film adaptation on social media, showcasing a picture of the screenplay and featuring key contributors to the project. Tom Harper, known for his work on “Peaky Blinders” and “Wild Rose,” will direct the film, with a script penned by Steven Knight, acclaimed for “Eastern Promises” and the “Peaky Blinders” series.
Cillian Murphy shared his excitement about the film, remarking, “It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me…It is very gratifying to be re-collaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of ‘Peaky Blinders.’ This is one for the fans.”
The announcement comes amid long-standing rumors and speculation about the future of the BAFTA-winning series, which became a global sensation on Netflix. Murphy has been vocal about his eagerness to return to his role as the head of the Shelby family. In February, during an interview on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, he expressed his willingness to reprise his role, saying, “If there is more story to tell, and if Steven Knight delivers a script like I know he can, then I will be there.”
The film will continue to explore the gritty, lawless streets of early 20th century Birmingham, bringing the beloved series to the big screen. Knight will co-produce the film alongside Murphy, Caryn Mandabach, and Guy Heeley, with executive producers including Harper, David Kosse, Jamie Glazebrook, Andrew Warren, and David Mason. Fans can anticipate the release of this thrilling continuation on Netflix.
