Cillian Murphy’s portrayal of Thomas Shelby in Peaky Blinders stands as one of the highlights of his career, showcasing a character capable of seamlessly transitioning from a sophisticated country gentleman to a ruthless urban thug at the flick of a razor-edged hat.

Despite Murphy’s seemingly irreplaceable performance, he could have potentially lost the role to the Fast and Furious star Jason Statham. Knight has shared that Statham was also in talks to star in the historical drama and he even met him for the role.

Steven Knight’s Peaky Blinders has captivated audiences worldwide with the tumultuous world of the Shelby family, as they navigated the treacherous landscape of gang warfare and political intrigue. Loosely based on the real-life urban youth gang of the same name, the series incorporates elements from historical figures and addresses prevalent themes such as anti-Irish sentiment.

28 Years Later, an upcoming zombie film trilogy that fans have been clamoring for 17 years is finally becoming a reality. However, the long-awaited announcement of the new trilogy had some disappointing news. Cillian Murphy, who starred in the original movie, 28 Days Later, and an executive producer of the film will not be a part of the first film.
Cillian Murphy as Dr J. Robert Oppenheimer
Even though Danny Boyle and Alex Garland have put their project as one of the hottest upcoming films in Hollywood, fans are quite disappointed with Murphy’s absence in the first film. While the Oppenheimer actor will not be a part of the first film, fans of the upcoming post-apocalyptic film should not be disappointed as there’s some positive news for them. Though absent from the first film, he is going to be a part of the sequels.

The name of the Oppenheimer star is strongly associated with dramas and thrillers, as these genres seem to fit Cillian Murphy best. The actor’s performances are often chillingly stone-cold with him usually playing strong-willed powerful characters, so it’s hard to imagine him smiling or awkwardly joking on the big screen.
However, there is a 2007 hidden gem, which proves Murphy belongs to the genre of comedy and presents him in quite an unexpected role. There he portrayed a quirky video store owner Neil, a cinephil who spends a lot of time living through the movies.
As typical for romcoms, his routine changes when the mysterious Violet walks both into his store and his life. She starts to show him the real world which shines bright behind the movie screen and leads him down a risky road of petty crime.
This movie is obviously worth a watch for Cillian Murphy’s performance.

We now have a shoot date for the long-awaited ‘end to this chapter’ of the beloved Birmingham-based crime saga, Peaky Blinders. September!
Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight has confirmed that the Peaky Blinders film will go into production in September. We’ve known since the beginning of this year that a 2024 shoot was the aim but given that Knight and the project’s star, Cillian Murphy are both rather busy people, nobody was exactly sure where they’d fit the project in.
We now have an answer to that question. Speaking with The NME, Knight has confirmed that “it’s gonna happen this September” and added that he’s doing final tweaks on the script. He also added: “We’re there. We’ve got everything sorted, we’ve got all the commitments we need, we are ready to go” which certainly sounds like a final confirmation to us.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson has just been confirmed for another major role, but it’s not the one that you may think of.
The actor has signed up to star in 28 Years Later, an upcoming post-apocalyptic movie directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, whose most recent hit Civil War is now blowing all the theaters up.
Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer and Harry Potter’s Ralph Fiennes are also in. The plot details are still under wraps, but the film will surely have connections with the 2002 original horror 28 Days Later that starred Cillian Murphy and Naomie Harris.
The original storyline revolves around bicycle courier Jim, portrayed by Murphy, who wakes up from coma amid a global pandemic caused by some aggression-inducing virus. In an attempt to survive, Jim will have to team up with a few lucky ones who haven’t turned into furious zombies yet.

Danny Boyle's lo-fi 2002 zombie apocalypse film "28 Days Later" caused a stir in the horror community for its grainy digital photography (shot by Anthony Dod Mantle) and for its introduction of "fast zombies" into the pop vernacular. The zombies in "28 Days Later" were, unlike most movie zombies seen up to that point, fast-moving and vicious rather than mindless and shambling. It is credited for breathing new life into the zombie genre, followed as it was by other zombie hits like the "Dawn of the Dead" remake, George Romero's "Land of the Dead," and the hit 2010 series "The Walking Dead." "28 Days Later" also tapped into a lot of America's post-9/11 ennui, presenting hard-edged images of urban desolation. Everyone felt like the world had ended, and Boyle aesthetically agreed.

Back in 2002, Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's horror tale 28 Days Later was largely cast with rising stars, with a few more veteran actors here and there. Yet for their new follow-up, 28 Years Later, the initial casting round features two established performers in Jodie Comer and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, with Ralph Fiennes the shiny-faced complete newcomer.
Yes, after years of speculation, talk of potential ideas and Boyle and Garland being asked about it incessantly, the pair has indeed reunited for a new film set years after Murphy's bicycle courier Jim woke from a coma to find that London and the wider world had well and truly gone to crap after a virus turned millions into rage-driven killers.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes are looking to take a bite out of 28 Years Later, with the actors joining the long-awaited sequel, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Danny Boyle is once again directing, after helming 2002’s 28 Days Later, which centered on a man (Cillian Murphy) who wakes up in the hospital to find the United Kingdom overtaken by a zombie plague. Civil War filmmaker Alex Garland, who penned the script, is back to write what is intended to be a trilogy of films for Sony. The original feature helped revive the zombie genre and already had a sequel, 2007’s 28 Weeks Later, which only nominally involved Boyle and Garland as executive producers.

Following Ubisoft’s announcement of Watch Dogs, the game was one of the most-anticipated titles of 2014. The first game was off to a good start and sold over 10 million units by the end of 2014. However, the sequel failed to meet the expectations of Ubisoft.
A still from Watch Dogs
Watch Dogs 2 took nearly four years to sell as many units as its predecessor. Therefore, Ubisoft tried to reignite the players’ interest with a third game. The third game, Watch Dogs Legion, came out in 2020. It introduced a unique play-as-anyone feature, however, the game failed to impress the fans.
Ubisoft may shut down the Watch Dogs series
While some fans may be waiting to see a new game in the series, a renowned Ubisoft leaker claimed that the series has been canceled. Taking to X, leaker j0nathan added that due to the game’s disappointing commercial run, Ubisoft has canceled...

Tom Cruise and Robert Pattinson are two of the most iconic actors in Hollywood, with one climbing the ladder like there’s no tomorrow and the other ruling over it. While the two of them have never shared the big screen together, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they haven’t met either. Out of the many movies that both of them have individually done, it was a small skit that brought them together.
Robert Pattinson in The Batman (2022)
In a rather humorous sketch, Cruise managed to ground Pattinson in a way that forever became an embedded memory in the fans’ eyes. Both their skills are extraordinary on their own, so much so that some of the biggest blockbusters have their names on it.

It seems Ubisoft just can’t catch a break these days. The company is constantly in the news, more often for controversy than most other gaming studios. Whether it’s for a title that missed the mark or a bad business decision, gamers are using everything they can to call out the company.
The issue is that Ubisoft is giving these gamers ammo to use against them. Such as the latest confirmation from an insider, which, if true, could turn a lot of people against the studio. By burying a beloved franchise after creating lackluster sequels, the studio better have a strong PR team.

With two major sci-fi sequels debuting this week to lead the VOD and Netflix charts, the new films also inspired victory laps for the Part Ones of “Dune” and “Rebel Moon.”
“Dune: Part Two” (Warner Bros.) leads at both iTunes and Fandango, and Netflix’s original “Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver” is #1 at the streamer. iTunes packaged the 2021 “Dune: Part One” with its sequel as a $34.99 purchase, and it ranks second there. (“Dune: Part Two” alone rents for 48 hours for $24.99.) “Rebel Moon — Part One” returned at #7 on Netflix’s top 10.
Three other recent theatrical releases also transitioned to home viewing, with curiously different pricing and availability strategies. The top grosser is Neon’s “Immaculate” (approaching $16 million), but it rents for the lowest price: $9.99. “Late Night with the Devil” (IFC) is $14.99, but for that price consumers own it. “In the Land of Saints and Sinners” (Goldwyn) with Liam Neeson is a standard $19.99 rental.

Far Cry is a popular video game series that, like more and more these days, sometimes opts for inviting real actors to play its characters. After Cyberpunk 2077 proved the concept with Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba once again, no one was surprised at the recent rumor that Cillian Murphy would portray the main villain in Far Cry 7, and this “news” flooded the Internet like there was no tomorrow.
Where did this “leak” come from and how was it debunked?
Far Cry 7 x Cillian Murphy: Rumor Origin
On April 20, famous French-speaking YouTuber and streamer j0nathan posted a peculiar sharade on his X (formerly Twitter) account. The post contained four images — Cillian Murphy, a bomb with a 72-hour timer, a giant crab, and number 7 with a tropical backdrop — and was titled, “If nothing changes between now and then.”
This post started a massive wave of speculations — or, rather, just one speculation.

With news surrounding Far Cry 7 starting to finally be unveiled, the time that Ubisoft has properly stepped up may be upon us. Just recently, a credible leaker revealed who the next villain of the series may be played by, and if this turns out to be true, Vaas Montenegro will have some serious competition.
Ubisoft has been having a pretty great run lately, especially with the recently released Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Along with that, Assassin’s Creed Mirage was also a success, so it’s safe to say the company is heading in a better direction overall. Regardless, it seems like the next villain in the company’s long-running first-person shooter franchise is going to be a game changer.

Although the last installment in the series didn’t receive the greatest reviews, Far Cry 7 is still a title that has the potential to turn things around for the franchise. The series has been one of the developer’s signature franchises, enjoying highs with its third installment and mixed lows with its more recent entries. But Far Cry has a history of having memorable villains, and their impact becomes even stronger when they are portrayed by familiar Hollywood actors.
It seems like in Far Cry 7, the Hollywood A-lister, who recently won an Oscar for his portrayal of J. Robert Oppenheimer in the Christopher Nolan-directed film, will be following in the footsteps of Giancarlo Esposito and Michael Mando.

Cillian Murphy is Hollywood’s biggest star since he swept everyone away with his stunning performance in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer and even took home an Oscar for it — but back in 2019 not everything worked out that well for him.
The actor seemingly had high hopes — and he had all the reasons for it — for one of his movies that turned out to be a big theatrical flop. Despite that, the film is somehow doing better five years later — and recently has even entered Netflix’s top.
Back in the day, French director Luc Besson made his classic come-back with an action thriller Anna. The plot follows young Russian woman Anna, an assassin pursued by CIA and Kgb agents competing with each other while Anna herself is planning to thwart their biggest ambitions, embarking on a search for personal freedom.
Anna was indeed the director’s biggest hope — with the star-studded cast including Luke Evans,...

Actors are asked to do a lot of potentially terrifying things in the name of their work, especially when filming horror movies. So it's not really a surprise that Irish actor Cillian Murphy was slightly scared about filming one particular scene in Danny Boyle's early 2000s film "28 Days Later," although the reasons behind his nervousness might not be what you think. Instead of panicking about filming a sequence with one of the movies' horrifying zombie extras or having to deal with some of the movie's more extreme horror aspects, Murphy was concerned about the brief nude scene that introduced his character to audiences. It's a rather brief moment, but it's honestly understandable that Murphy was a little nervous, as it's a full-frontal nude shot that shows off the uh, whole kit and caboodle.

Nick Offerman plays the role of the President of the United States in Alex Garland’s latest dystopian war film, Civil War. He does a fantastic job of bringing out the character of a directorial president who is currently in his third term. While the film has been receiving positive feedback from critics, fans are finding it difficult to wrap their heads around the lack of political discussion in the film.
A still from Alex Garland’s Civil War
This is simply because Civil War revolves around such a political topic which makes the absence of any real conversation about the same a little unrealistic. However, this is exactly what Nick Offerman loves about the film, and states that it is his absolute favorite thing in the entire movie.
