‘Peaky’s Blind Ambition
By order of the Netflix executives: There have been trickles of information about a Peaky Blinders movie ever since the BBC series came to a dramatic end after eight years and six seasons in 2022. Now, the news is official. The show that launched a thousand undercuts and laid the foundations for Cillian Murphy’s Oppenheimer Oscar win is easily one of the most popular dramas of the past decade, and it’s no surprise the entertainment world went crazy after Nancy broke the story Tuesday that a Peaky feature film is indeed coming.

Jason Statham And Cillian Murphy: Why Was The Former Chosen In Peaky Blinders? (Photo Credit – Instagram)
Almost everyone who watched Peaky Blinders fell in love with Cillian Murphy’s portrayal of Thomas Shelby, finding it hard to imagine anyone else in the role. However, did you know that Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight initially wanted Jason Statham to play Thomas Shelby instead of Cillian Murphy?
Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight met both Cillian Murphy and Jason Statham in Los Angeles to discuss the role of Thomas Shelby. Initially, Knight opted for Jason Statham, explaining to Esquire that one of the reasons was because, physically, Statham commanded the room. In contrast, Murphy, when met in person, did not immediately embody the character of Thomas Shelby. Knight admitted to Esquire that he was initially too short-sighted to see beyond this. However, a last-minute text message from Murphy provided the clarification Knight needed,...

Peaky Blinders caught the imagination by swerving the unexpected. Creator Steven Knight put the whole thing on a tilt from the start by not setting his gangster drama in London, but in (then) unfashionable Birmingham. He made family leader Tommy Shelby not the eldest but the middle brother. He mad Helen McCrory’s indelible Polly Gray not Tommy’s mother but his aunt. His working class characters weren’t to be pitied, but feared and respected… Nothing, from the contemporary rock music to the interweaving of Romany culture, was quite what period audiences had come to expect.
Knight’s slanted take on historical drama was exemplified at the climax of the Peaky Blinders series one finale, directed by Tom Harper. Now, over a decade later, Harper is coming back to direct the long-discussed Peaky Blinders movie, which starts filming in September 2024 in the West Midlands, after being officially commissioned by...

Cillian Murphy, on the heels of his Oscar-winning performance in Oppenheimer, will return to reprise his role as Tommy Shelby.

It's been long awaited and highly anticipated, but the "Peaky Blinders" are officially coming back in movie form. That's right, it's a race to see which gets to six seasons and a movie first: "Community" or the Steven Knight-created British period crime drama.
Deadline has confirmed that Netflix greenlit a "Peaky Blinders" movie, with Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy set to return to the role of Tommy Shelby, leader of the Birmingham criminal gang (the titular Peaky Blinders). The show began airing in 2013 and ran for six seasons until 2022. Knight is back to write the screenplay, with Tom Harper, who directed the back half of season 1, helming the feature film.

Tommy Shelby, Netflix's most unflinching man with a plan, will be back to shake things up in England. Deadline reports that, after much whispering and speculation, the streaming giant has officially greenlit a Peaky Blinders movie to cap off Steven Knight's thrilling historical crime drama.
What's that? You're pretty sure you'd already heard that this movie, which will see newly minted Oscar winner Cillian Murphy reprise his role as Tommy, was going into production? Well, sure, but that's hardly a guarantee anymore, now that the streaming business involves shelving completed movies for tax writeoffs. There's no way Netflix will back out now [insert nervous laughter].

However, while many fans know that the cause of his death was the collision of his car with a curb, tree, and a light pole, what they don’t know is that this is only something scratching the surface of what actually happened that night. If anything, the autopsy reports brought forward such horrors from the incident that even Fast and Furious fans would be scared to drive a car after reading it.

Ready, steady, go! But be warned, this article contains spoilers for "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga."
Long before 2015's "Mad Max: Fury Road" and its particular brand of vehicular mayhem peeled into theaters, promptly changing the action genre forever, director and mastermind George Miller had already mapped out an origin story for what would turn out to be the blockbuster's scene-stealing star: Charlize Theron's Imperator Furiosa. It only took the better part of a decade to finally see that vision realized on the big screen with this year's utterly epic "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga," but the lengthy hiatus wasn't the biggest obstacle standing in Miller's way. Since the prequel was always meant to depict the earlier years of Furiosa's life, a new actor would have to face the daunting — if not impossible — challenge of stepping into Theron's shoes.

The first season of Peaky Blinders is set in 1919: When we meet gang leader Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy), he’s riding through the unpaved, muddy streets of Birmingham on a horse. World War I has finally come to a close after four bloody years in the trenches, heralding the dawn of a new age. When Season 5 comes to a close a decade later, it’s 1929. Tommy’s ride of choice is now a Bentley, and he holds a seat in Parliament as the MP for his hometown.
While Peaky Blinders follows the rise of the Shelby family’s fortunes, it’s also the tale of the interwar years in Britain — a time of radical social and economic change. Women enter the workforce in greater numbers, demanding to vote and a say in their futures; rigid class structures begin to soften and new ideologies take hold. Though many of the...

Even though many great period TV shows have come out lately, half of them dip into romance in far too much detail for anyone to want to watch. If you're still traumatized by the infamous Bridgerton ladder scene, or just want to spend family night watching a period piece, check out the list below.
These 10 TV series prove that there is a way to present romance, intrigue, humor, and drama in a way that everyone can enjoy.
North and South (2004)
Although this story is romantic, there is a great emphasis on the historical background.

Steven Knight’s Peaky Blinders has captivated audiences worldwide with the tumultuous world of the Shelby family, as they navigated the treacherous landscape of gang warfare and political intrigue. Loosely based on the real-life urban youth gang of the same name, the series incorporates elements from historical figures and addresses prevalent themes such as anti-Irish sentiment.

While the main character of his story, like many here, Patrick Jane is no classic hero. He’s obsessed with his own mission, puts his moral beliefs above others’ comfort, breaks the law on daily basis, and can kill or torture the people he personally finds guilty. But have you seen that trickster’s smile? It’s impossible not to love Jane!

Daryl Dixon wasn’t even supposed to become a long-staying character of The Walking Dead.
