And as I say, it would be me handing this on to new writers, new people.”During the interview, Knight also revealed that he has nearly finished writing the Peaky Blinders film and that it will begin filming early next year, with a release date set for Spring 2024.Speaking of the film’s progress back in July, he said: “I’m nearly done writing it, and we’re going to shoot it… I’m setting up some film and television studios in Digbeth in Birmingham.“We’re going to shoot it at the studios in Digbeth, and on location in Digbeth in Birmingham.
