'Finally I Can fulfill my dream': Peaky Blinders actor takes on brutal SS Officer role in Immortal

From the gang-ridden streets of Birmingham to the war-torn wilderness of Lapland, Finland, Paul Anderson, famous for his role as Arthur Shelby in 'Peaky Blinders', took a leap into the intense world of World War II. According to a Deadline report from June 2021, Anderson is set to star in the upcoming action movie 'Immortal', directed by the acclaimed Finnish filmmaker, Jalmari Helander.

"Epic, Action-Packed Survival Story"

'Immortal' tells the gripping tale of an ex-soldier named Aatami, who stumbles upon gold in the remote Lapland wilderness. However, a brutal SS officer played by Paul Anderson, alongside his Nazi squadron, stands between Aatami and his newfound treasure, leading to a heart-pounding battle.

Jalmari Helander, known for his works 'Rare Exports' and 'Big Game', brings his keen eye for action and suspense to 'Immortal'. "To make an action film in Finland has been a dream of mine since I was 10 years old," he confessed, expressing his anticipation for the project.

Peaky Blinders' Star Joins WWII Action

Anderson, celebrated for his riveting performance in 'Peaky Blinders', is no stranger to the world of cinema. He's also graced the silver screen in Oscar winner 'The Revenant', 'In The Heart Of The Sea', and 'Hostiles', displaying his versatile acting prowess.

His casting in 'Immortal' signals a promising pivot from his criminal role in 'Peaky Blinders', giving his fans a new perspective on his skills. As the brutal SS officer in 'Immortal', we anticipate that Anderson will bring his nuanced performance style to a very different historical setting.

Backed by the Finnish Film Foundation, Business Finland, and MTV Cmore, 'Immortal' was set to kickstart filming in September 2021. With the 'Peaky Blinders' star on board and an exciting WWII storyline, fans are eagerly awaiting the action-packed drama.
