Cillian Murphy unveils battle-scarred Tommy Shelby in The Immortal Man.
Peaky Blinders followers, prepare for a high-stakes return of Tommy Shelby!
Cillian Murphy was noticed in full character on the long-lasting Pontcysyllte Aqueduct as filming ramped up for the extremely anticipated characteristic movie, The Immortal Man.
The 48-year-old Oscar-winner, wearing Shelby’s signature overcoat and Baker Boy cap, was joined by co-star Packy Lee, reprising his function as loyal ally Johnny Canines.
The forged and crew introduced the gritty Birmingham-based drama to the scenic heights of north-east Wales on Sunday, with cameras capturing an intense scene aboard a narrowboat navigating the Llangollen Canal.
Including to the drama, Murphy sported a grotesque prosthetic scar on his cheek, hinting that Tommy Shelby had discovered himself embroiled in one more violent encounter.
Helicopters circled above as they filmed the daring sequence on the 126-foot-high aqueduct, a Grade I listed marvel and UNESCO World Heritage Web site that provides breathtaking views of the River Dee beneath.
Talking to Deadline, the Oscar-winning actor admitted, “It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me… It is very gratifying to be re-collaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of Peaky Blinders. This is one for the fans.”
Director Tom Harper, who helmed episodes of the collection greater than a decade in the past, mirrored on the present’s meteoric rise: “When I first directed Peaky Blinders, we didn’t know what the series would become, but we did know that there was something in the alchemy of the cast and the writing that felt explosive.”
With creator Steven Knight, Murphy, and Harper again on the helm, the characteristic movie guarantees to recapture the electrifying magic that turned the TV collection right into a cultural phenomenon.
