This week it was announced that the forthcoming Peaky Blinders film has just got a bit starrier. Yesterday, none other than Barry Keoghan joined the production, in a role that has yet to be revealed.
Keoghan’s presence adds another layer of prestige to the movie – he was nominated for an Oscar last year – and joins a cast led by newly minted best actor winner Cillian Murphy. Despite this, it still feels as if the Peaky Blinders movie has its work cut out. This is because, as a film based on a television show, it is swimming against the tide.
