Peaky Blinders Movie Script by Creator in Final Stages, Production Dates Revealed

Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight has confirmed that there is a completed script for a Peaky Blinders movie. Knight, who is also working on a Star Wars film, has nearly finished the script for the British gangster series and is eager to begin production. In an interview with the Radio Times, Knight revealed that he is in the final stages of the script and hopes to start filming sometime in the middle of this year.

“I simply sit down at the keyboard and begin. It's almost as if I'm dreaming,” Knight explained. “I sit there and the words just flow, and when I read it back, I think, 'That's pretty good-- but where did it come from?'”

Cillian Murphy, known for his role as Thomas Shelby in the show's decade-long run, expressed willingness to return if there was a script, indicating that he "always thought that if there’s more story to tell." The success of the show has led to the creation of several games, including a VR version, and even a ballet titled The Redemption of Thomas Shelby.

The film is expected to be set during World War II, and Knight has said that it will be "the same but different" to the series, telling viewers to "expect the unexpected."
