However, for a long time, there was no update on the movie. Well, Steven Knight has finally given a big update.
In a new interview, Steven Knight assured us that the movie was happening and that the team has planned a bigger budget for the Cillian Murphy starrer. “It’s gonna happen. It’s gonna happen this September. I’m just doing the final polishes, which will continue up until the day before we start shooting. But we’re there. We’ve got everything sorted, we’ve got all the commitments we need, we are ready to go. I think the film is gonna be a step up again, and it’s gonna be great that Peaky fans can meet in one place and watch it. The budget will be bigger, but also, because we know we’re ending this chapter, we’re all going to try to do our best. Cillian [Murphy] is really up for it. So I can’t wait for it to start shooting,” Steven told the NME web portal.
Steven Knight confirmed that it will be the final chapter of Thomas Shelby’s life. In the same interview, Steven was asked if the Peaky Blinders movie would shock or delight the audience. He reacted, “I hope shocked and delighted and horrified and then delighted again and then shocked again!” The show’s creator is quite happy for Cillian, who won an Oscar for Oppenheimer. Steven shared that after winning every award, Murphy would text him that he couldn’t wait to see what he had planned for their upcoming movie.
Meanwhile, considering that the shooting will start around September, it is doubtful that the movie will release in 2024.
