Filming for the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie has commenced in north Wales with Cillian Murphy spotted on set reprising his role as Tommy Shelby. The popular crime drama- turned- movie is a continuation of the multi-season, hit BBC TV show. The new movie has expanded on the show’s storyline and is set in Birmingham during World War II. Production began at the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct near Wrexham. Filming was carried out independently across the UK as the movie continued production, including at such places as Birmingham and Dudley.
Mr. Murphy’s narrowboat was used for filming, whereby he dressed again in his iconic Tommy Shelby regalia, featuring his signature hat. Visitors were denied entry to the basin and towpath of Trevor Basin, which forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Helicopters were also used for shooting, filming from the air while the actors were on the ground.
The Irish actor stars alongside Rebecca Ferguson, Stephen Graham, and Tim Roth in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. Barry Keoghan also features in the cast, although he has not yet been seen on the set. There is no release date available for the movie, but all six seasons of the show are available on BBC iPlayer.
Peaky Blinders first aired in 2013. It portrays the rise of the fictional Peaky Blinders crime gang in Birmingham following the First World War led by ambitious Tommy Shelby. The gang faces off against police and rival groups such as the Irish Mob and New York Mafia. The show has been acclaimed and has featured Murphy, Sam Neill, Tom Hardy, Paddy Considine, Anya Taylor-Joy, and others. No seventh season is planned for the series, but its creator has promised more connected TV shows in the future. The upcoming, feature-length movie has been created instead of a season seven. Tom Harper will direct the film, which is based on a script by Peaky Blinders creator, Steven Knight, in association with Patrick Holland, Cillian Murphy, and Guy Heeley.
