The Big Picture Cillian Murphy is fresh off his first Academy Award for his performance in Universal Pictures' Oppenheimer — and he isn't done with starring roles for the studio just yet. The actor is attached to star in Universal's adaptation of the book Blood Runs Coal: The Yablonski Murders and the Battle for the United Mine Workers of America, according to Deadline.
It should come as a given that Universal would want to stay in business with a star like Murphy; according to Deadline, the studio acquired the rights to Blood Runs Coal just two days before he won his Academy Award. No director was announced, but the film comes from a script by Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth.
Murphy is also slated to star in the upcoming film Steve for Netflix, where he will portray the head teacher of a reformation school. He is also starring in the upcoming historical drama Small Things Like These. Murphy will also be executive producing 28 Years Later, the follow-up to Danny Boyle's 2002 post-apocalyptic film in which he starred. It is likely that Murphy will also be reprising his role as bike courier Jim from the film, though this has not been confirmed.
