Cillian Murphy impresses in 'The Immortal Man.'

Cillian Murphy, the well-known Irish actor, has received high praise from Steven Knight, the creator of "Peaky Blinders." This recognition comes as Murphy stars in the new film spin-off, "The Immortal Man." Knight expressed his excitement about Murphy's performance during an interview with The Independent. He described Murphy as "at his best" and called his acting "remarkable." Knight is eager to see the finished film after being impressed by the early footage. In addition to Murphy, the film features talented actors like Barry Keoghan, Tim Roth, and Rebecca Ferguson. Knight noted that they all perform exceptionally well in their roles. He emphasized that the ensemble cast is among the best. Knight also spoke about the writing process for the movie. He believes it's important to write honestly rather than trying to predict what the audience wants. He trusts his instincts and the talents of the cast to bring his vision to life. "The Immortal Man" will follow Murphy's character, Thomas Shelby, as he confronts Nazis during World War II. This historical period shows Britain standing alone against Germany and its allies before the United States joined the battle. The film builds on the success of the original series, which ended in 2022 after six seasons.
