Production on the as-yet-untitled feature film will get underway later this year, with Oscar winner Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) reprising his role as Tommy Shelby. Additionally, our sister site Deadline reports that Rebecca Ferguson (Silo) has been cast in an undisclosed role.
Original series creator Steven Knight penned the script, while Tom Harper, who directed several episodes during Peaky’s first season, will return to helm the movie.
Additional plot details are being kept under wraps. No further casting has been announced as of press time.
Peaky Blinders, which aired for six seasons on Netflix, followed a notorious gang in 1919 Birmingham, England, led by the fierce Tommy Shelby (Murphy), a crime boss set on moving up in the world no matter the cost. The series wrapped up in 2022, but Knight hinted at the time that a movie was in the works: “I can say that my plan from the beginning was to end Peaky with a movie. That is what is going to happen.”
Murphy, of course, has seen his fame shoot into the stratosphere in the past year after starring as theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer in the Christopher Nolan film Oppenheimer. The movie was a surprise smash at the box office and earned seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Murphy.
