As a seasoned movie critic with a penchant for gritty period dramas and a soft spot for gangster sagas, I am absolutely thrilled about the upcoming adaptation of the beloved series, Peaky Blinders, into a feature film on Netflix. The announcement that Cillian Murphy will reprise his iconic role as Tommy Shelby, alongside the likes of Tim Roth, Tom Hardy, Rebecca Ferguson, Barry Keoghan, and Jay Lycurgo, has set my expectations soaring.
As a movie enthusiast, I can’t help but feel the excitement brewing in Tinseltown as more big names are added to the roster of “Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man” – the upcoming film adaptation of our beloved series. It’s been confirmed that Cillian Murphy will once again embody the indomitable Tommy Shelby, and according to the latest buzz, Quentin Tarantino (of “Pulp Fiction” and “Reservoir Dogs” fame) has officially joined the cast! The specific roles for stars like Rebecca Ferguson (“Dune”), Jay Lycurgo (“DC’s Titans”), and Barry Keoghan (“The Banshees of Inisherin, Saltburn”) are still being kept under lock and key.
It’s also being whispered that Tom Hardy, who starred in both Inception and Venom, will additionally appear in the Peaky Blinders movie. As per What’s on Netflix, the talented actor is set to reprise his role as Alfie Solomons. The latest cast members, including Academy Award nominee Tim Roth and Tom Hardy from Venom, are joining an already impressive lineup expected to bring this highly anticipated film to fruition. Rebecca Ferguson, Barry Keoghan, and Jay Lycurgo make up a strong ensemble, with more actors rumored to be announced soon, as suggested by series creator Steven Knight.
Tom Harper is set to direct a movie adapted from Knight’s script, which unveils that it takes place during World War II. Netflix approved this project back in June, but specific plot details are still confidential. This film draws inspiration from a notorious gang that allegedly caused chaos in Birmingham, England, between the 1880s and 1920s. The movie is being called an “epic continuation” of the highly acclaimed, six-season crime saga that won numerous awards. According to Variety, Knight stated:
10 years ago, when I first took charge of ‘Peaky Blinders’, we weren’t certain about its future, but we sensed a potent combination in the mix of our talented cast and captivating script. Over the years, ‘Peaky Blinders’ has been a tale centered around family, and it’s thrilling to be back with Steve and Cillian as we prepare to share this movie with audiences worldwide on Netflix.
When Will the Peaky Blinders Movie Debut on Netflix?
Harper will team up with Murphy, David Kosse, Jamie Glazebrook, Andrew Warren, and David Mason to oversee the production of the Peaky Blinders movie, working hand-in-hand with BBC Film. The production is set to kick off imminently, though a release date has yet to be announced. According to What’s On Netflix, filming is anticipated to commence around September 27 at Digbeth Loc Studios in Birmingham city center, as suggested by a photo of the script that Netflix posted on their platform (previously Twitter) back in June, accompanied by a quote from Murphy.
It appears that Tommy Shelby had more work for me to do… I’m thrilled about the opportunity to work alongside Steven Knight and Tom Harper once again on the movie adaptation of “Peaky Blinders“. This is surely exciting news for the fans.
In the final episodes of the sixth season (aired on April 3, 2022), Murphy plays the powerful head of the main crew. He is left with a pivotal decision: seek vengeance against his adversaries or live as if he’s deceased. Instead of continuing with a seventh season, Knight decided to conclude the narrative through a feature film instead.
The forthcoming movie is part of several projects related to “Peaky Blinders” that the streaming platform is working on at present. One of these projects is set in 20th-century Boston, while another will focus on a prequel series revolving around Polly, the matriarch of the Shelby family, who was portrayed by Helen McCrory throughout the series. Tragically, McCrory passed away in 2021.
