As a long-time fan of Peaky Blinders, I must admit that reading this news fills me with immense excitement! Collaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper again on the film version of such an iconic series is truly a dream come true. The chemistry between the cast and the gripping storyline have always been the heart and soul of Peaky Blinders, and I can’t wait to see how it translates onto the big screen.


Principal photography for the movie titled “The Immortal Man,” set in Liverpool, commenced secretly on Monday.

48-year-old lead actor Cillian Murphy put on his famous Tommy Selby outfit and posed for a photo to celebrate the special event, which he posted on Netflix’s official X account.

The Oscar winner played the gangster in the multi-award winning BBC series from 2013 to 2022 and is now back for a big screen outing, alongside new cast members  Barry Keoghan, Rebecca Ferguson and Tim Roth. 

At an unidentified destination, it was observed that vehicles approached, accompanied by a strong security presence. This was done to permit only authorized individuals to gain entry to the premises.

Besides a shot capturing him in his role, Cillian also stood with the series creator, Steven Knight, during downtime on the filming location.

The caption read: ‘By order of the Peaky Blinders… Tommy Shelby is back’. 

Cillian Murphy and Steven Knight have joined forces again on location, marking the official commencement of their upcoming Netflix movie’s production.

Information on the storyline is scarce, but it’s confirmed that the original author, Knight, will be back, along with Tom Harper who previously directed episodes from the initial season, taking charge once more.

Last month it was announced that Salburn star Barry had joined the cast, but details of his character have not yet been revealed.

Over the last several years, Barry has made a significant mark in his acting career, appearing in notable productions such as Saltburn, Top Boy, and The Banshees of Inisherin.

In June 2024, Netflix confirmed that production on the upcoming feature film will commence towards the end of this year as it has received the go-ahead.

It became official in June that the original creative team behind “Peaky Blinders,” including its writers and directors, would join forces once more, along with actor Cillian Murphy, for the Netflix movie version of the popular British show.

Netflix officially announced the update, sharing a picture of the script as proof. Meanwhile, the Academy Award-winning actor hinted to Deadline, “It appears that Tommy Shelby isn’t done with me…

‘It is very gratifying to be re-collaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of Peaky Blinders. This is one for the fans.’ 

10 years back, when I initially took up directing Peaky Blinders, we had no idea it would evolve into such a phenomenal series, but we sensed that the unique blend of our talented cast and compelling script possessed an electric energy.

It’s thrilling to be rejoining Peaky Blinders’ stars, Steve and Cillian, once more, as we work together to share this family-centric story in a film format, making it accessible for viewers worldwide via Netflix.

In the year 2013, the television series “Peaky Blinders” made its debut, swiftly captivating massive crowds not only within the UK but also internationally. This captivating show managed to secure roles for well-known actors like Tom Hardy and Anya Taylor-Joy from the silver screen.

The show takes its general themes from an actual Birmingham-based gang, sharing the same name, active between the 1880s and the 1920s. This real-life group engaged in similar illicit activities as their fictional counterparts depicted in the series.

As a die-hard admirer, I’ve followed the Peaky Blinders saga for nearly a decade, witnessing six gripping seasons unfold. The series came to a dramatic close with Tommy, who was deceived into thinking he had a fatal ailment, surviving an assassination plot masterminded by his own nephew. In a heart-wrenching twist, he ended up taking his nephew’s life before deciding to start anew, venturing off into uncharted territory.

However, the recent news raises worries about the well-being of Paul Anderson, known for his role as Arthur Shelby, Cillian’s older brother on the show, as he admitted guilt to possessing crack cocaine earlier in the year.

The 45-year-old was also found to have amphetamines, plus diazepam and pregabalin on him.

His continued erratic behaviour in recent months has prompted concern for his welfare.

A nearby store owner, who considers Paul as a close acquaintance, shared with TopMob: “It’s truly distressing. He’s in a state. However, his unpredictable actions are creating genuine issues. Frequently, he appears bewildered and out of sorts.

1) Locally, he’s been involved in disputes with folks. You can often hear him causing quite a ruckus as he roams about. There’s an undercurrent of unease among us all. A while back, there was a heated altercation at Tesco that he participated in.

I find myself behaving as though I’m an inhabitant of another world. My unconventional behavior has led me to walk about publicly without a shirt, which is causing quite a stir. Navigating through everyday life has become a challenge for me, and it’s a source of deep concern. I seem to have lost control over my actions, and it’s heartbreaking to witness this downward spiral.

It appeared that the actor had been making efforts to tidy up his lifestyle during the past month, as evidenced by his shopping trip to Tesco in London where he purchased several cleaning items such as shampoo, Dove deodorant, paper towels, and Vanish stain remover.
