George Steel's digital film was then transferred to celluloid and the re-digitised, leading to the inevitable question - why not just shoot it on film? It looks great, though:
And I was wondering about this amazing shot on Pontcysyllte Aquaduct whether it's actually a brilliant drone shot or CGI:
As revealed by Cillian Murphy here, it's neither: it's actually a non-CGI helicopter shot, which deserves George Steel's crew some kind of award, surely?
Oh yeah, as to the film. Tommy's become a recluse but his sister Sophie Rundle brings him back into action, as his son Barry Keoghan is behaving like a wrongun and discrediting the fine name of the Peaky Blinders. Tim Roth is trying to devalue English currency with millions of pounds of forgeries (a true history lesson). Steve Graham returns for the showdown and old friends Packy Lee, Ned Dennehy and Ian Peck are still around. With Rebecca Ferguson (the Dune films), Jay Lycurgo and Ruby Ashbourne Serkis.
...and it's likely to be something of an audience pleaser for fans of the show (despite that unexpected ending).
Fittingly, Harper directed the first three episodes of the first series of peaky Blinders back in 2013; Steel shoe the whole first series.
Mark Eckersley cut it. He also cut The Aeronauts, Heart of Stone and Wild Rose, all three directed by Harper and shot by Steel, and also worked on War and Peace back in 2016 (Harper again - we should give it another watch).
