Cillian Murphy reveals a nasty facial scar as gangland boss Tommy Shelby and Johnny Dogs ride a narrowboat on a 126 foot high aqueduct for new Peaky Blinders film The Immortal Man
As a die-hard fan of the gritty and gripping world of Peaky Blinders, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming film adaptation! Having grown up in the industrial heartland of England, much like the Shelby family, I have always found myself drawn to stories that capture the raw spirit and resilience of working-class families navigating through a tumultuous era. The Shelbys’ rise to power amidst the chaos of post-WWI Birmingham resonates deeply with me, as it mirrors the struggles and triumphs experienced by my own ancestors during those turbulent times.
The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct served as a scenic setting while Cillian Murphy shot his recent sequences as Tommy Shelby for the upcoming Peaky Blinders installment, titled “The Immortal Man.
Filming for the drama series set in Birmingham moved to northeast Wales on Sunday, as Murphy took on his role as infamous gang leader Shelby, working aboard a canal boat for the scenes.
As a lifestyle connoisseur, I had the pleasure of being present when the Academy Award-winning actor, aged 48, graced us with his presence. Joining him was none other than our beloved co-star Packy Lee, reprising his role as Johnny Dogs for the highly anticipated extended episode of our show.
The cast and team members were spotted traversing Llangollen Canal using an elevated aqueduct that stands about 126 feet tall. At the front of the narrow boat, you’d find Murphy and Lee, while helicopters hovered overhead to keep watch.
With Shelby’s distinctive trench coat and Baker Boy hat on, Murphy hinted at another brutal altercation his character had been in, showing off a gruesome artificial scar on his right cheek.
The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a Grade I listed structure and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, dominates the River Dee. It serves solely as a passageway for narrow boats, offering them access to the neighboring town of Llangollen.
In June, it was made official that the creative team behind Peaky Blinders’ original scripts and direction would reunite with creator Steven Murphy for a movie version of the popular series on Netflix.
The streaming service verified the report by sharing a photo of the script, whereas the Academy Award-winning actor shared with Deadline, “It appears that Tommy Shelby still has some unfinished business with me…
Working alongside Steven Knight and Tom Harper once more on the Peaky Blinders movie is an immense pleasure. It’s a project that I believe our dedicated fans will truly appreciate.
10 years back, when I initially took on directing ‘Peaky Blinders’, we weren’t certain about its future, but we sensed that the unique blend of our talented cast and compelling writing had a potent, explosive quality.
‘For years, Peaky has centered around the concept of family. It’s truly thrilling to be back together with Steve and Cillian to share this movie with viewers worldwide through Netflix.’
The television series “Peaky Blinders” premiered in 2013, quickly gaining massive popularity not only in the UK but also abroad. It managed to secure notable acting roles for well-known movie stars like Tom Hardy and Anya Taylor-Joy.
The television series draws inspiration, albeit with some creative liberties, from an actual Birmingham-based gang known by the same name that was active between the 1880s and the 1920s. They were involved in a variety of illicit endeavors.
Over the course of nine years, the hit show Peaky Blinders broadcast six seasons, wrapping up with the character Tommy, who was led to believe he had a fatal disease, successfully surviving an assassination attempt masterminded by his own nephew. In an unexpected twist, he ended up killing his nephew and embarked on a new journey, seeking fresh beginnings elsewhere.
In the past few months, there have been worries about the wellbeing of actor Paul Anderson, known for his role as Arthur Shelby, Tommy’s older brother, following his admission to possessing crack cocaine earlier this year, away from public view.
The 46-year-old was also found to have amphetamines, plus diazepam and pregabalin on him.
The Immortal Man is yet to be given an official release date.
