From protecting the Mushroom Kingdom to questionable fine dining, Anya Taylor-Joy has embarked on various roles. Whether it's just her voice or a full view of her stealing every scene with her piercing gaze, the actress has the skill of someone with decades of experience.

Fresh off his Oscar win for Oppenheimer, Deadline reports that Cillian Murphy has set up one of his next projects, a feature adaptation of Blood Runs Coal: The Yablonski Murders and the Battle for the United Mine Workers of America by Mark A. Bradley.
Blood Runs Coal takes place in the late 1960s and will feature Cillian Murphy playing Chip Yablonski, a labor attorney who fights to get justice for his father, Jock Yablonski. The elder Yablonski was a second-generation coal miner and activist who fought for better working conditions and health benefits for his fellow miners.

Yablonski was killed, along with his wife and daughter, with Chip Yablonski barely escaping the same fate as he had left the house the day prior.

Series creator Steven Knight has confirmed that star Cillian Murphy will return as Thomas Shelby for the Peaky Blinders movie. What’s more, Knight signaled a fall start for the production.
Knight dropped the news while speaking to BirminghamWorld at the premiere of his new BBC series, This Town. “He is definitely returning for it,” the screenwriter said of Murphy. “We’re shooting it in September just down the road in Digbeth.”
Earlier this month, Murphy expressed his desire to reprise his role as the captivating crime boss. “I have always said that if Knight delivers a script that I know he can deliver, because he is such a phenomenal writer, I’ll be there,” the recent Oscar winner told the Irish Star.
It seems Knight has indeed delivered the script, and Murphy will indeed be there. Knight has had plans for a Peaky Blinders film since before the sixth and final season premiered.

Cillian Murphy does not seem to be ready to get off the headlines any time soon. No one is complaining; his fans are more than eager to get their hands on whatever they can learn about the actor and his past or forthcoming projects.

There is no doubt that Cillian Murphy is the talk of the town at the moment. He is one of those actors in Hollywood who is famous enough for his incredible work, but at the same time, can even escape one’s notice. In simpler words, he is the human manifestation of letting his work make all the noise while he stands on the sidelines with the rest of his admirers, instead of being in the spotlight.
Cillian Murphy is a rare specimen of an exceptionally talented and wise actor, the kind of wisdom that comes from observing. For someone who is this famous, he is surprisingly down-to-earth and genuine. So, anything that comes out of his mouth is generally taken seriously. For now, he has something to say about his fellow Oscar-nominated Irish actor.

The Bafta and Oscar-nominated actor says he would like to reprise his role as the Birmingham gangster Thomas Shelby
The Oscar and Bafta-nominated Cillian Murphy, a hot contender to win best actor awards for his portrayal of Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan’s film about the creator of the atom bomb, has revealed he would still happily return to the role of Peaky Blinders’s Thomas Shelby, on the small or the big screen, if the chance came his way.
“If there is more story to tell, and if Stephen Knight delivers a script like I know he can, then I will be there,” Murphy said. “I mean, if we want to watch 50-year-old Tommy Shelby, I will be there. Let’s do it.”...

This post contains spoilers for "Peaky Blinders."
Most of us are aware that the Peaky Blinders were a real gang that operated in the late 1800s in Birmingham, England, but Steven Knight's "Peaky Blinders" takes this real-life aspect and imbues it with extraordinarily intriguing drama, sprinkled with exaggerated historical events. As a result, the series makes for unforgettable television, especially due to the intricate, colorful characters that inhabit a world on the verge of change, forever plunged into chaos. While Thomas Shelby (Cillian Murphy) is well-loved for his complex characterization and general badassery, there is another member of the Shelby family who is as conflicted and has proven to be a compelling deuteragonist in the BBC series. Arthur Shelby, played by Paul Anderson, might not be anyone's favorite Shelby, but he sure is a force to be reckoned with.

Peaky Blinders — the BBC series that ran from 2013 to 2022 — concluded after nine years and six seasons.

Disney’s Kdrama, The Worst of Evil has probably left a narcotic-sized hole in your hearts, especially with that ending. Grandiose in its presentation, set in late 90s Seoul, The Worst of Evil is visually charming while also delivering a well-crafted story that is emotional and thrilling at the same time.

Cillian Murphy's latest role as J. Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" has garnered significant buzz and critical acclaim, with some predicting that his intimate, complex portrayal of the man behind the atomic bomb will earn him an Oscar nomination. Though Murphy is undoubtedly brilliant in the biographical epic, the Irish actor has had over 25 years of preparation for the role through a number of projects in film, TV, and theater.
Murphy, like many actors, began his acting career on stage. In 1996, he made his stage debut in Enda Walsh's play "Disco Pigs," which was later adapted into a feature film starring Murphy in 2001. By the early 2000s, the actor took on several roles, but his role as Jim in the post-apocalyptic horror film "28 Days Later" propelled him into Hollywood. In 2005, he starred in "Batman Begins" and began what would become a decades-long collaborative friendship with Christopher Nolan.

We may have just been gifted with Cillian Murphy's presence in the recently released "Oppenheimer", but fans of "Peaky Blinders" might not have too long to wait for another dose of Thomas Shelby. Murphy has given an update into the workings of the potential upcoming gangster film as the Irish actor revealed that he'd love to work with Tom Hardy again if a "Peaky Blinders" movie was to come to fruition.
In a recent interview with GQ Magazine, Murphy was asked about whether he has plans to work with Hardy – whom he teamed up with in the drama series, as well as in "The Dark Knight Rises," "Inception," and "Dunkirk" – once again. "He's one of the best actors in the business," Murphy began. "And we've developed this great trust and shorthand and there's a nice kind of chemistry, I think, between the two of us. I'd love to work with him again.

Was this movie moment meant to be? As late as April, there were reports that Universal would blink and delay “Oppenheimer” rather than have it go head to head against Warner Bros. summer event “Barbie” on Friday. But the studios held firm, the internet embraced “Barbenheimer” memes and fans showed up for both movies — many on double tickets.
What might have been a box office faceoff turned into a cinematic lovefest for two very different movies. A more nuanced look at the strengths of each movie, drawing on Parrot Analytics‘ data, which takes into account consumer research, streaming, downloads and social media, among other engagement, shows why these two movies were made to coexist, and possibly draw wider audiences by opening on the same weekend than either might have alone.

After appearing in blockbuster films like "Batman Begins" and "Inception," Cillian Murphy became most well-known for his role as Thomas Shelby on "Peaky Blinders." The Irish actor starred in the crime drama from its premiere in 2013 to its finale in 2022. Following the show's end, Murphy took on another iconic role by playing the lead in Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer." At the film's London premiere on July 13, Murphy posed with all of his castmates on the red carpet, however, he didn't take photos with any of his family members. His wife, Yvonne McGuinness, and their teenage sons appeared to be noticeably absent at the event. While this may come as a surprise to new fans, those who've been keeping up with Murphy for years would know the actor has always kept his personal life away from the cameras.

Peaky Blinders came to a close last year after six seasons, but creator Steven Knight has been working on a movie that would continue the story. Cillian Murphy starred as Thomas Shelby in the series, and while speaking with Rolling Stone, said that he’d love to return for a Peaky Blinders movie but that it would have to be done right.
“If there’s more story there, I’d love to do it,” Cillian Murphy said of the Peaky Blinders movie. “But it has to be right. Steve Knight wrote 36 hours of television, and we left on such a high. I’m really proud of that last series. So, it would have to feel legitimate and justified to do more.” Murphy added that while he loved playing Thomas Shelby, he couldn’t be any different from the character in real life.
People expect this mysterious, swaggering… it’s just a character.

The last episode of Peaky Blinders aired back on 3rd April 2022 but concluding the show wasn’t enough to break the bond between the Peaky Blinders cast. The show’s story is originally designed around a Midlands-based street gang that operated back in the late 19th century. Steven Knight‘s fictional take on the show, however, really double downs on the importance and struggles of a family, redefining the gangster genre in the process. Peaky Blinders highlights the strong relationship between the Shelby brothers, their sister, and their aunt. Thomas Shelby, the second eldest brother of the four, leads

The new video spot casts light on two of the new rivals that butt heads with Thomas Shelby and his cohorts throughout play, including the Winter’s Children – a politically-motivated gang who challenge every move the Peaky Blinders make – and The Tong, a brotherhood from London’s Chinese community who are as fiercely protective of Limehouse as the Shelbys are Small Heath.
Crucially, both The Tong and the Winter’s Children will be heroes within their own stories. They’ll add a fresh perspective and unique viewpoints to the narrative.

HBO’s live-action adaptation of The Last of Us premiered on Sunday (15 January) to rave reviews from critics and audiences alike.
As Louis Chilton wrote for The Independent, the series has broken the cardinal rule of video game adaptations – by actually being good.
The Last of Us – starring Pedro Pascal (Joel) and Bella Ramsey (Ellie) – follows the 2022 release of another beloved PlayStation classic adaptation, Uncharted.
Unlike The Last of Us, Sony Pictures’ Uncharted – starring Tom Holland as treasure hunter Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as his partner in crime – was not received quite so positively.
“Tom Holland repeats his Spider-Man shtick in passionless video game adaptation,” read Clarisse Loughrey’s two-star review headline for The Independent.
Though the film mustered a more-than-respectable 402m (£329m) box office gross, fans were left disappointed at the result of what was supposed to be one of the best examples of the medium’s cinematic potential.

Writers know better than most how taking historical figures and dropping them into a world of fictional characters can sometimes run the risk of overwhelming the story at hand. The plot at the center of "Peaky Blinders," for instance, shares several parallels and intersections with actual historical events taking place during the time period that creator Steven Knight chose to cover -- specifically set during the moment in time between both World Wars in early 1900s Birmingham, England. While audiences have gravitated towards the drama of Tommy Shelby leading the Peaky Blinders from the local horse-racing scene in Small Heath to the seat of power at the center of the entire British empire, Knight wrote his scripts in such a way that he could easily integrate several historical figures into the action as well.

Steven Knight has said he hopes Peaky Blinders: The Redemption of Thomas Shelby, the dance theatre spin-off of his hit TV show, will travel stateside after it closes on the stage in Birmingham, England.
“After it closes in the UK in Birmingham we’re hoping it moves onto New York and then Boston because the show has massive international appeal, so I think this one can travel,” Knight told the BBC’s Radio 4 on Tuesday morning.
The stage show opened earlier this month in Birmingham, the English city where the original TV show is set. Speaking with Radio 4, Knight said he doesn’t believe the show could have started life in any other city.
“Birmingham has been a big, proud city for hundreds of years. I think there’s been a gap in its media image and presence. And I hope Peaky is the first of many things that will give the city an identity,...

"Peaky Blinders" is part of a continuum of gangster movies and TV shows that dates back to the early 1930s when actors like James Cagney and Edward G. Robinson were making black-and-white films such as "The Public Enemy" and "Little Caesar." Even on television, "Peaky Blinders" was predated by prestige dramas like "The Sopranos" and "Boardwalk Empire," but one thing that set it apart from the bulk of its predecessors was its focus on a street gang in Birmingham, England, as opposed to the Italian mafia in America.
When Cillian Murphy donned his razor blade cap to play series protagonist Thomas Shelby in "Peaky Blinders," he was aware, as any actor would be, of those genre conventions, which "The Godfather" and "Goodfellas" helped popularize. In an interview with Deadline just before the final season of "Peaky Blinders" hit Netflix in June 2022, the actor said, "I think you make a gangster show,...

There's something special about Thomas Shelby that makes him so intimidating to people, and commands their attention. Is it a credit to his flattering three-piece suit and newsboy cap concealing a razor blade? His menacing strut or the unmissable aura of danger and unpredictability? The years of hard work put in by actor Cillian Murphy? Or is it a combination of all of them?
To play a character for as long as Murphy has played Thomas Shelby in the acclaimed gangster drama "Peaky Blinders" is no easy feat. The Irish actor has worked hard to maintain Tommy's enigmatic, imposing figure and has spent hours perfecting his gruff Birmingham accent. Murphy has portrayed Tommy for a decade; he has grown with the character in real-time, allowing it to drive him during his performance, permitting it to have a life of its own. It's a one-of-a-kind experience to play someone for so long,...
