"I knew about Peaky, but I'd never watched it... I was just off doing my stuff. He said, 'Do you want to make a movie?' And I was like, 'Yeah.' And it was the Peaky Blinders movie. I said, 'Can we flip it? I'd like to play him as a sort of school teacher... very reasonable and very nice until the mask comes off.'"
"After the very first series... I said, 'I'm going to take this up to the Second World War and it's going to be a movie at the end.' Tommy Shelby don't retire."
"The mud turned into like a swimming pool... the pigs busted through... and it was day one of filming. They just got so caked and it's so heavy... I'm much more interested in action that feels real."
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man serves as the cinematic finale to the series, set during World War II-era Birmingham with heightened stakes and scope. Tim Roth joins as a new antagonist, portraying a deceptively reasonable character whose menacing nature emerges when his mask slips. Steven Knight conceived the film's ending from the series' inception, planning to escalate the story toward World War II and conclude with a movie. Director Tom Harper emphasizes physical realism in action sequences, prioritizing authentic, grounded filmmaking. The film represents both an ending and escalation for Tommy Shelby, delivering the long-promised endgame while expanding the narrative canvas.
