By order of the Peaky Blinders, the TV show’s movie script is almost ready
By order of the Peaky Blinders, a movie script following the popular TV show is being finalised.
The gangster series dropped its sixth and final season on Netflix, but this isn't the end for fans of Tommy Shelby and his brothers.
The show’s creator Steven Knight confirmed the movie script is being finalised and shooting should begin within 18 months or so.
He explained that the show’s lead actor, Cillian Murphy who plays Tommy Shelby has quite a busy schedule at the moment as he films Christopher Nolan’s highly-anticipated Oppenheimer.
“We’re going to shoot [the movie] at the studios in Digbeth, and on-location in Digbeth and Birmingham,” Knight said on British radio station Heart FM.
“Digbeth and Small Heath [are] where the Peaky Blinders actually roamed, so it’s like Peaky’s coming home.”
Knight expects most of the current cast to come back for the movie but there will be “some new faces that will hopefully be quite surprising”.
Peaky Blinders tells the story of a notorious gang in 1919 Birmingham, England, that is led by Tommy Shelby, a crime boss set on moving up in the world no matter the cost.
The movie is slated for a 2024 or 2025 release.
