The highly anticipated Peaky Blinders movie starts filming in September, and Netflix has dropped a little teaser for fans ahead of the shoot on X (formerly known as Twitter).

A photo of a scratched-up bar table holding the screenplay has surfaced, and while it doesn't give anything away, a quote from Cillian Murphy says the upcoming film is "one for the fans".

"It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn't finished with me," Murphy said. "It is very gratifying to be recollaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of Peaky Blinders".

Tommy Shelby returns. A Peaky Blinders Film starring Cillian Murphy is coming to Netflix.

The only details currently available are that the show's creator, Steven Knight, returns to pen the screenplay, and the BAFTA-nominated Tom Harper will direct.

Harper has previously directed episodes of the Peaky Blinders series and has a few feature films under his belt, including Wild Rose and The Aeronauts.

An expected release date is yet to be announced, but with cameras starting to roll in September, it is not unlikely that a 2025 release is on the cards.

The Peaky Blinders movie isn't the only project Steven Knight has on his hands. A new Netflix series is the works at the streaming service called House of Guinness.
