By The “Peaky Blinders” movie has scored an official greenlight from Netflix with BBC Film to co-produce.
Newly minted Oscar winner Cillian Murphy will return as the fearsome gangster Tommy Shelby for the film which is set to be directed by Tom Harper (“Heart of Stone”).
This big screen continuation of the show following its six-season run has been written by the show’s creator Steven Knight who will co-produce alongside Murphy, Caryn Mandabach and Guy Heeley.
Harper, David Kosse, Jamie Glazebrook, Andrew Warren and David Mason will executive produce. Murphy says in a statement:.
“It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me…It is very gratifying to be recollaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of ‘Peaky Blinders.’ This is one for the fans.”
Knight promises: “it will be an explosive chapter in the ‘Peaky Blinders’ story. No holds barred. Full on ‘Peaky Blinders’ at war.”
Plot specifics are under wraps and no further casting has been announced as yet. Production will kick off later this year.
