‘The Script Is Brilliant’: Barry Keoghan Shares Exciting Details About His Role In Peaky Blinders Movie

As a dedicated follower of the gripping world of Peaky Blinders, I can hardly contain my excitement at the prospect of Barry Keoghan joining the stellar cast for the upcoming film. Having grown up on the gritty streets of Dublin, I’ve always found solace in stories that delve deep into the human spirit, and there’s no denying that Peaky Blinders is one such tale.


Actor Barry Keoghan is gearing up for a starring role alongside Cillian Murphy and Rebecca Fergusson in an upcoming Peaky Blinders movie. During an interview with Collider, while promoting his film “Bring Him Down” at the Toronto Film Festival, Keoghan shared some intriguing details about his character and the film’s production timeline.

Even though he couldn’t recall the precise day, filming is set to start in September, likely around the 28th or 29th. Keoghan playfully quipped that he wouldn’t be involved with the movie if he hadn’t reviewed the script first. “Absolutely, I’m thrilled about it,” he expressed, adding that the script is exceptional.

Apart from praising the distinguished cast, he also shared his enthusiasm about working alongside Cillian Murphy and Rebecca Hall. The renowned actor, who won an Oscar, is set to resume his character as Tommy Shelby from the 2013 Peaky Blinders series. Regarding the roles of Dune’s actress and Keoghan, specifics about their characters remain confidential.

Since its debut in 2013, the program has been a significant cultural impact, generating numerous enduring memes and iconic moments and lines that will forever resonate with fans. Beyond cultivating a devoted fan base, it was highly praised for its powerful performances, immersive historical backdrop, and complex narrative structure.

In an earlier conversation with Collider, Cillian Murphy playfully mentioned that the original series was produced on a shoestring budget of just “$5 and a roll of duct tape.” When asked about the budget for the upcoming film “Oppenheimer,” star Chris Evans replied, “Now it’s ‘$10 and duct tape.’

Since the series ended with an ambiguous ending, fans have been demanding a movie continuation or spin-off. To everyone’s surprise, the actor from Dunkirk revealed a film in a statement to Deadline. “It appears that Tommy Shelby isn’t done with me yet,” he stated. “I am thrilled to be working alongside Steven Knight and Tom Harper again on the movie adaptation of Peaky Blinders,” Murphy expressed. “This is definitely for the fans,” he concluded.

Show creator Steven Knight teased that the film would be an “explosive” chapter in the Peaky Blinder story. “No holds barred. Full-on Peaky Blinders at war,” he added.
