Peaky Blinders: ‘no-holds-barred’ movie given Netflix

Cillian Murphy set to star and produce film continuing the story of the Shelby family, from a script by series creator Steven Knight

Cillian Murphy hasn’t given up Tommy Shelby just yet; the Irish actor, fresh off his best actor Oscar for Oppenheimer, is set to return to Birmingham for a Peaky Blinders movie.

Netflix has officially given the green light to the long-rumored feature film, with Murphy set to star and produce. War & Peace and Heart of Stone director Tom Harper, who helmed the second half of the BBC show’s first season, is set to direct from a script by series creator Steven Knight. Production on the film, made in association with BBC Films, will begin later this year, according to Deadline.
