Peaky Blinders es una de las series del siglo XXI que ha tenido más impacto en la cultura popular. La ficción protagonizada por el ganador del Oscar Cillian Murphy ha cautivado a millones de espectadores desde 2013, y pronto veremos su gran final… en la gran pantalla. Después de seis temporadas, el director Steven Knight ha anunciado que se hará una película sobre la serie protagonizada, una vez más, por Murphy.
No se han revelado muchos detalles aún, aparte del hecho de que la filmación comenzará en septiembre de este año. Sin embargo, podemos recopilar toda la información que nos ha llegado hasta ahora para tener una pequeña idea de cómo será esta película. A continuación, presentamos todo lo que sabemos sobre la película de Peaky Blinders.
¿Cuándo se estrenará la película de Peaky Blinders?
Se espera que la fecha de lanzamiento de la película de Peaky Blinders sea en algún momento entre 2025 y, como máximo, 2026. Teniendo en cuenta que la filmación se llevará a cabo en septiembre y generalmente hay un año entre la filmación y el lanzamiento, podríamos estar hablando del otoño de 2025. Sin embargo, todo dependerá del calendario de la película y de las necesidades de marketing.
The movie had been in preparation for years, since the sixth and final season of the series premiered in 2022. On June 30 of that same year, Knight said in Yahoo News the following: “It’s almost ready. And I’m going to shoot it in Birmingham; in Digbeth. And it’s going to be great. And it’s going to have Cillian [Murphy] and all the usual suspects. So yes, I’m looking forward to it.”
Now that the protagonist has been confirmed, the only thing missing was to set a filming date. And now that we know it will be filmed this year, it is most likely that at some point in 2025 we will be able to put on our berets and suspenders once again to enjoy the criminals from Birmingham.
¿De qué tratará la película de Peaky Blinders?
In 2021, when the Peaky Blinders movie had not yet been announced, Steven Knight said that “the line between cinema and television is blurry, or is blurry sometimes. I love making movies, but as I say, I think cinema can be based on the short story like television on a novel. I would consider making a movie that maybe is about the Second World War“.
This is something that has been confirmed later, so everything seems to indicate that we will see how these charismatic characters interact in such a tense environment as World War II. In fact, Knight already said in Digital Spy that his intention “has always been to redeem him so in the end he is a good man doing good things. Discovering how that journey happened, why it happened, and dealing with all the post-traumatic stress of World War I.” In this way, a new war is the perfect setting for it.
What we don’t know is the weight that the protagonists will have in this story. Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) and Arthur Shelby (Paul Anderson) would be 49 and 52 years old respectively when the Second World War began, so they would not be recruited and it doesn’t seem like they will join the ranks. But surely the director will find an even more interesting way to place them in context.
What seems clear is that the movie will mark the end of Peaky Blinders. Already in the fifth season, Knight wanted to finish, but according to his own words, “I thought there are a lot of people we are going to introduce now. It would be a shame to stop”. This way, COVID came, one more season… and now everything seems to culminate in this feature film. The creator has his reasons:
“Part of the reason is not because we are going to change anything about how we do it. Hopefully, by the time this movie comes out, these things will be possible, the people who have made the series, the loyal and committed Peaky Blinders fans, could sit down and watch it together. Hopefully, some kind of community event, where people can sit, watch it, and enjoy it on the big screen.”
¿Quién regresará en la película de Peaky Blinders?
The first confirmed and most important actor of all is, of course, Cillian Murphy. The performer behind Oppenheimer already said at the time that he would put himself in the shoes of the band’s leader whenever asked. He knows that he owes a lot to the character, and it seems that he is going to give him a worthy ending.
Se espera que el resto de la familia Shelby regrese con él, incluyendo a Paul Anderson (Arthur Shelby) y Sophie Rundle (Ada Thorne), así como el recién incorporado Conrad Khan (Duke), el hijo de Tommy. Seguramente, Harry Kirton (Finn Shelby), quien fue expulsado de la familia, también regresará, y se espera que Sam Claflin (Oswald Mosley), quien interpreta al fascista que ha engañado a Tommy en la temporada 6, también regrese.
Stephen Graham (Hayden Stagg) has also been confirmed, and somehow, Knight has said to prepare ourselves to see Polly, whose actress (Helen Elizabeth McCrory) died in 2021. Everything seems to be ready for the final great adventure of the Peaky Blinders.
