'Peaky Blinders' writer teases film, 'Will Tommy be giving James Bond a run for his money?'

The writer of Peaky Blinders promises that the upcoming film adaptation will have a thrilling James Bond-style impact. 

The popular BBC crime drama, which has captivated audiences with its portrayal of Birmingham gangsters after World War I, has left fans eager to discover the fate of the enigmatic protagonist, Tommy Shelby, portrayed by Cillian Murphy. 

Set during World War II, the film is being shot at Birmingham's Digbeth Loc. Studios. 

While writer Steven Knight remains secretive about specific details, he did mention that the film's larger budget allows for grander spectacles and action sequences, reports Daily Mirror.

He hinted at the possibility of Tommy Shelby giving James Bond a run for his money, drawing parallels between the two. 

“The biggest difference between a film and TV series is the budget. When you do stuff for TV, you often have to ask people to imagine it.

“But with a film, you can really do it. You can blow stuff up. Will Tommy be giving James Bond a run for his money?

The cinematic quality of Peaky Blinders has always been a focus, and now the big screen offers the perfect canvas to bring their vision to life. Furthermore, Knight assured fans that the film will not mark the end of Peaky Blinders, as there are plans in the works - under the radar.

Reflecting on the unexpected success of the series, Knight expressed gratitude and acknowledged that there is more to come, though the details are yet to be revealed.
