The Immortal Man
, the upcoming Peaky Blinders Netflix movie, is set to release in theaters, creator Steven Knight reveals. Airing for six popular seasons from 2013 to 2022, the historical crime drama series stars Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby, the leader of a gang who sew razor blades into their caps. Following the success of season 6, Shelby is now set to return in The Immortal Man, a feature-length Peaky Blinders movie set during World War II from director Tom Harper with a script by Knight.
In a recent interview with The Playlist, Knight shares new details about The Immortal Man. “We’ve got, I think, the best British acting talent all in one place,” Knight says of the movie’s impressive cast. He also reveals that he’s now seen some early cuts of the movie, saying that what he’s seen “is mind-blowingly good.” Perhaps most interestingly, though, Knight says that the Peaky Blinders movie will be getting a theatrical release, a rarity for Netflix projects. Check out his comment below when asked for confirmation of the film’s theatrical bow:
“Yes. Well, I’ve just made that announcement. So, yes.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Knight calls the movie “a fitting end to the first chapter,” before then addressing some of his earlier comments that more Peaky Blinders is on the way after the movie. “Yeah,” he confirms, “And as long as there’s an appetite for it and people want it and I’ve got stories to tell, then why not?“
More to come…
