It has been some time since we last caught Cillian Murphy on screen, but soon we can look forward to seeing him again in his upcoming Netflix film titled “Steve“.
The story unfolds around Max Porter’s acclaimed novel “Shy,” where Murphy embodies the main character. In this narrative, Steve serves as the headmaster of a reformatory school that offers a second chance to troubled adolescent boys. The film revolves significantly around a crucial day in the institution’s history.
Have a look at the powerful preview for the movie “Steve” right here, before it hits selected theaters on 19th September and arrives on Netflix starting 3rd October.
The film features Jay Lycurgo in the role of Shy, a troubled teenager who was the focus of the book, alongside Emily Watson (reuniting with Murphy from “Small Things Like These”), Tracey Ullman, Roger Allam, and Simbi Ajikawo.
In advance of its Netflix debut, the film titled “Steve” is set to have its world premiere at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival. There, festival programmer Jason Ryle commended it as a “compelling adaptation” of the work “Shy“.
As a gamer, I’d rephrase it like this: “Me, in an eerie yet captivating portrayal, holds down an exceptional ensemble. Jay Lycurgo knocks it out of the park as Shy, a character grappling with the turbulent tides of his own psyche, wrestling between despair and the slightest glimmer of hope.
Steve represents a battered tribute to organizations facing adversity, while simultaneously exploring the resilience of individuals within these structures. This drama, filled with determination, portrays a closed-door setting, featuring misplaced innocence and tenacious gestures of optimism.
Additionally, Murphy collaborated with Alan Moloney on the creation of “Steve“, which served as their inaugural venture under their production company, Big Things Films.
Previously, Max handed me an unfinished proof copy of that book, which left me emotional. It’s the kind of material I adore as both a reader and a performer, so I was eager to collaborate with him on something.
Steve will be released in select cinemas on 19 September and on Netflix on Friday 3 October.
The latest print issue from Digital Spy, titled “Oasis – Live in ’25,” is available for purchase! You can find it at your local newsagents or buy it online, now costing only £8.99.
