Peaky Blinders Movie is Wholly Possible

Cillian Murphy's Peaky Blinders has become quite the sleeper success.
With Season 3 just around the corner, series creator Stephen Knight and executive producer Caryn Mandabach spoke to Digital Spy and the prospect of a Peaky Blinders movie arose; "We did have a conversation about potentially doing a movie," Mandabach revealed, "There are many people in America that love ​Peaky Blinders and plenty of movie stars that want to be in the movie."
The period drama stars Cillian Murphy as gangster Tommy Shelby. Set in 1920's Birmingham, the volatile Shelby heads the Peaky Blinders gang whose trademark it is to sew razor blades into the peaks of their caps and use as weapons. The show runs on BBC Two and has broke the American market thanks to its deal with network giant Netflix.
It's a completely viable project that we're sure plenty of actors would jump at the opportunity to star in. Peaky Blinders has acquired a huge star following which boasts Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Ed Sheeran, Steven Spielberg, Julia Roberts and Stephen King. Also counting himself as Peaky Blinders fan was the late David Bowie. Creator Stephen Knight told Radio Times that Bowie granted the show use of his music just days before his death. Knight received a personal copy of Blackstar from Bowie before the album was released to the public.
"It seems that his people were keen to establish that we could use it before he died," Knight reflected, "[Bowie] sent a photo of himself with razor blades in his cap to Cillian about a year ago. I got in touch with his people who came back straight away and said he was a big, big fan."
Peaky Blinders Season 3 will have the boys back in action again on May 5 at 9pm on BBC Two.
