Peaky Blinders: ‘no-holds-barred’ movie given Netflix green light


Cillian Murphy set to star and produce film continuing the story of the Shelby family, from a script by series creator Steven Knight

War & Peace and Heart of Stone director Tom Harper, who helmed the second half of the BBC show’s first season, is set to direct from a script by series creator Steven Knight. Peaky Blinders first aired on BBC Two in 2013, before getting picked up by Netflix in 2014, where it gained an global following and launched Murphy to international fame along with co-stars Tom Hardy, Anya Taylor-Joy and the late Helen McCrory. “When I first directed Peaky Blinders over 10 years ago, we didn’t know what the series would become, but we did know that there was something in the alchemy of the cast and the writing that felt explosive,” said Harper in a statement.
