The official confirmation has arrived. A "Peaky Blinder" movie has been greenlit by Netflix, and Oscar winner Cillian Murphy is set to reprise the role of Birmingham clan leader Tommy Shelby.
The untitled project is being directed by Tom Harper ("Heart of Stone", "The Aeronauts", "War & Peace") from a script by "Peaky Blinders" creator Steven Knight. Harper previously directed the last half of the show's first season.
Plot details are being kept under wraps, although Knight has previously stated that a movie story would be set during World War II. Production is set to begin later this year. Producers are Caryn Mandabach, Knight, Murphy and Guy Heeley, while executive producers include Harper, David Kosse, Jamie Glazebrook, Andrew Warren and David Mason. The feature will be made in association with BBC Film.
Harper had this to say about the project: "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,".
