The Peaky Blinders are back in business! Netflix announces new movie starring Cilian Murphy

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Daisy Ridley is set to return as Rey in Disney's new untitled "Star Wars" sequel.</li><li>The project has hit a major roadblock after writer Steven Knight departed.</li></ul>Disney has hit a roadblock with its next "Star Wars" sequel, which will star Daisy Ridley, after writer Steven Knight left the project.<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://variety.com/2024/film/news/star-wars-daisy-ridley-steven-knight-1236190522/">Variety </a>reported on Thursday that Knight, best known as the creator of the BBC drama "Peaky Blinders," is no longer working on the film.The sequel, directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, will reportedly follow Rey (Daisy Ridley) as she attempts to start a new Jedi Order after the events of "Star Wars: Episode XI — The Rise of Skywalker."Knight joined the project in March 2023 after writers Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson also stepped away from the film.The galaxy has flourished on its streaming platform, Disney+, since 2019 with <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/star-wars-tv-shows-ranked-best-worst-2023-8">"Star Wars" TV shows</a> including "The Mandalorian," "Obi-Wan Kenobi," "Ahsoka," and "Andor."The new sequel is the latest cinematic project that Disney is yet to release.In November 2017, one month before "Episode VIII — The Last Jedi" arrived in theaters, Lucasfilm announced that director Rian Johnson was working on a trilogy about entirely new characters separate from "The Skywalker Saga." Nearly eight years later, the project hasn't been canceled, but neither is it in development, IGN reported.Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss also had a deal to create their own Jedi trilogy, but parted ways with Lucasfilm in 2019, per Deadline.The same year, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige confirmed he was planning a "Star Wars" movie. However, in 2023, he said he was no longer working on the project.In 2020, "Wonder Woman" director Patty Jenkins announced that she was working on a "Star Wars" fighter pilot movie titled "Rogue Squadron."The project was then shelved last year, only to be revived in March. Jenkins said it was still in development.Finally, there's also a movie in the works from "Thor: Love &amp; Thunder" director Taika Waititi first announced in 2020. In November 2023 he told <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taika-waititi-next-goal-wins-thor-star-wars-interview-2023-11">Business Insider</a> that his film is "still marinating."Blockbusters require huge amounts of cash to produce — "The Rise of Skywalker" had a budget of just over $400 million — so it's perhaps surprising that so many "Star Wars" movies are on the slate.Disney bought Lucasfilm for $4.1 billion in 2012. Despite <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/all-the-star-wars-movies-box-office-money-performance-2018-1">several box office successes</a> it is yet to recoup the cost of the acquisition, according to calculations by Forbes.The studio's struggles with these projects suggest there could be recurring issues concerning scripts, storylines, deadlines, contracts, shooting schedules, or a combination of factors.For now, Ridley is still on board and teased an "exciting" update about the film when speaking to Collider at a recent screening of her next movie, "Magpie."She said: "Things are evolving. I continue to be very excited. There will be an update soon."Ridley's comment was unlikely to be a reference to Knight's exit.The next confirmed "Star Wars" movie, "The Mandalorian &amp; Grogu," is due to land in theaters in May 2026.

Disney hits a roadblock with Daisy Ridley's 'Star Wars' movie — the latest project it's had trouble getting off the ground

<ul class="summary-list"><li>George Lucas has hit back at claims that there is a lack of diversity in the first six "Star Wars" films.</li><li>The filmmaker made the comments at the Cannes Film Festival in France. </li></ul><a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/star-wars">"Star Wars"</a> creator <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/starwars-george-lucas-disney-bob-iger-proxy-fight-nelson-peltz-2024-3">George Lucas</a> has hit back at criticism that the first six films in the franchise lacked diversity."They would say, 'It's all white men.' Most of the people are aliens!" Lucas said of the movies' critics while speaking at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday, <a target="_blank" href="https://variety.com/2024/film/festivals/george-lucas-star-wars-critics-all-white-men-cannes-film-festival-1236015478/">Variety</a> reported."The idea is you're supposed to accept people for what they are, whether they're big and furry or whether they're green or whatever," he said. "The idea is all people are equal."Lucas added that robots were the only things in the Star Wars universe that faced discrimination."That was a way of saying, you know, people are always discriminating against something and sooner or later, that's what's going to happen," he said. "I mean, we're already starting with AI, saying, 'Well, we can't trust those robots.'"Lucas also spoke about the issue of race in the movies."In the first one, there were a few Tunisians who were dark, and in the second one I had Billy Williams, and the [prequels], which they were also criticizing, I had Sam Jackson. He wasn't a scoundrel like Lando. He was one of the top jedi," he said.<div type="image" title="Samuel L.

(Photo by Gregg DeGuire/Variety via Getty Images)" height="682" width="1024" msid="110443823" hostid="261" sizebytes="32112"></div>Lucas also touched on the issue of gender equality in the conversation in Cannes, pointing out that many women have starred in heroic roles in the franchise, such as the late Carrie Fisher."Who do you think the heroes are in these stories? What do you think Princess Leia was?" he said."You can't just put a woman in pants and expect her to be a hero. They can wear dresses, they can wear whatever they want. It's their brains and their ability to think and plan and be logistical. That's what the hero is," he added.Lucas has previously helped fund a student diversity program at his alma mater, the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts.In 2017, the George Lucas Family Foundation donated $10 million to the program to support students from underrepresented communities — its second such donation, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://today.usc.edu/george-lucas-family-foundation-increases-support-of-diversity-at-usc-school-of-cinematic-arts/">USC Today</a>.

George Lucas hits back at 'Star Wars' diversity criticism: 'Most of the people are aliens!'  

Paramount Pictures has acquired the rights to a remake of <keyword id="124415" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Alfred-Hitchcock" source="Orion">Alfred Hitchcock</keyword>'s 1958 classic psychological thriller "<keyword id="25321" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="vertigo" source="Orion">Vertigo</keyword>," in which, <keyword id="42069" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="robert-downey" source="Orion">Robert Downey</keyword> Jr. is eyeing the lead role. The actor is producing the project with his wife Susan <keyword id="156717" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="downey" source="Orion">Downey</keyword> through their Team Downey production company, along with John Davis and John Fox via Davis Entertainment. "Peaky Blinders" creator Steven Knight is set to write the script, reported Variety, a US-based media company. Downey has kept a low profile as an actor since the release of 2019's "Avengers: Endgame," which is one of the highest-grossing <keyword id="406" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="movies" source="Orion">movies</keyword> ever made, and 2020's "Dolittle," which is not. He produced and appeared in the documentary "Sr.," about his father, and he's next set to appear this July in Christopher Nolan's historical epic "Oppenheimer" opposite Cillian Murphy. The original "Vertigo" starred James Stewart as John "Scottie" Ferguson, a San Francisco police detective who retires due to a paralyzing fear of heights brought on by a severe case of vertigo. After he's hired to tail an acquaintance's wife, Madeleine (Kim Novak), Scottie becomes obsessed with her, but his fears render him powerless to save her when she climbs the tower of a Spanish Mission and plunges to her death. "Vertigo" was not a smashing success when it was first released in theatres, and it divided critics. But by the 1980s, it started to gain recognition as a masterpiece. In 1982, in a survey of the best movies ever made by the British Film Institute's Sight and Sound publication (conducted every 10 years), "Vertigo" cracked the top 10, and continued to climb the list, reaching the number one slot in the 2012 survey, reported Variety. Filmmakers as varied as Brian De Palma (with "Obsession" and "Body Double"), David Lynch (with "Mulholland Drive") and Mel Brooks (with "High Anxiety") have drawn heavy inspiration from "Vertigo" in particular. But no American studio has attempted an outright remake until now.

Ken Wharfe, <a href="https://www.kenwharfe.com/">Princess Diana's personal protection officer</a> from 1989 to 1993, according to his website, told People magazine's Simon Perry and Stephanie Petit that <a href="https://people.com/royals/princess-diana-bodyguard-talks-spencer-movie-versus-reality/">he was present for the Christmas festivities</a> that provide the backdrop for the film."Out of all the people who have played Diana over the past 10 years, she's the closest to her," he said of Stewart.

It adds that he then worked directly with Diana for four years at Kensington Palace from 1993 until her death in 1997. Additionally, the film shows the princess' relationship with a royal dresser named Maggie, who becomes her confidant on the three-day trip, and later declares her romantic love for Diana. According to Vulture, scriptwriter <a href="https://www.vulture.com/2021/11/is-sally-hawkins-spencer-character-based-on-a-real-person.html">Steven Knight neither confirmed nor denied if Maggie was based on a real person.</a> "Maybe. I can't really say," he told the publication. "I have to tread very carefully when talking about specifics because I got the information from people who were there on the understanding that there was no specific identification of anyone," said Knight.Speaking about the reality of such a figure in Diana's life, Wharf said: "From my experience, Diana never once confided in her dressers."Representatives for Ken Wharfe did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Larraín - who is best known for his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wANftsuWbFI">surrealist-tinged biopics</a> - makes it clear from the start that this story is inspired but not wholly faithful to events from Diana's life. And at several points throughout the film, it is clear that Larraín, and screenwriter Steven Knight, have taken some creative liberties. There is, for example, the garish scene where Kristen Stewart's Diana chows down on a bowl of soup and a pearl necklace.But most controversially, the film depicts an odd kinship between Princess Diana and Anne Boleyn - the second wife of Henry VIII who has been dead for nearly 500 years. <h2>Who is Anne Boleyn?</h2><div type="image" title="Near contemporary painting of Anne Boleyn at Hever Castle, c. 1550" height="1214" width="1615" msid="87613176" hostid="261"></div>At the film's start, a book about Boleyn's life and death is left on Diana's bed before she arrives at Sandringham. Diana - knowledgeable about all the palace's underhanded techniques - suspects the Queen mother's new hawkish henchman placed it there as a warning. See, Anne Boleyn, like Diana, was one of the most influential figures of her time. She was a leading figure in the English Reformation - the period during which the Church of England broke away from the authority of the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church. And she gave birth to Elizabeth I.But Boleyn was also beheaded in 1536 for crimes of high treason and adultery. She had been suspected of having sexual relations with five other men, including her brother George.Historians, however, have long concluded that the allegations were false and created by Henry VIII who had decided to marry Jane Seymour - one of Boleyn's courtiers - after she had failed to give birth to a male heir.<div type="image" title="Kristen Stewart in short blonde hair and wearing a dress" height="629" width="1200" msid="87613178" hostid="261"></div>"Spencer" deals in clever ambiguities, but it is made clear at the film's end that the book about Boleyn was, indeed, a warning from the Queen's mother's henchman. At the time, the marriage between Diana - who was suffering from bulimia and spurts of paranoia - and Prince Charles, was irretrievably fractured. And the <keyword id="11893535" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="royal-family" source="Orion">royal family</keyword> had deemed Diana's increasing popularity a "problem."Larraín and Knight have been tight-lipped about what is fact and fiction in "Spencer." But during a <a href="https://www.esquire.com/uk/culture/film/a38134423/spencer-true-story-sandringham-1991-steven-knight-interview-peaky-blinders/">recent interview with Esquire magazine</a>, Knight said he created the fictional link between Princess Diana and Anne Boleyn for dramatic effect. "I'd read that the Spencers are related to the Boleyns and thought there was a parallel in someone who enters the royal household believing they can control the situation," he said. "Diana was young when she went in so she probably thought she could handle it. I like the idea that Diana feels like she's haunting the house already, like she's a ghost passing through."
