The writer, producer and director of Peaky Blinders is making a movie of the Oasis reunion tour
Surprise surprise. There's going to be a movie made of Oasis' (TBC triumphant) 2025 reunion gigs.
And, following what's probably been the most hard-fought battle in documentary filmmaking of the last ten years, it's Steven Knight, the BAFTA and Oscar-nominated writer, producer and director of Peaky Blinders, that's just landed the boss-man behind-the-camera gig.
Doubtless telling the story of the band's get-togethers and rehearsals, the gigs themselves and – it's to be hoped – all the scrapping and tantrums you'd expect from a behind-the-scenes off-limits Gallagher or two, it's Knight's job to make sure that fans get to see their heroes in all their [what's the story morning] glory during all their ups and downs.
And it's a gig that – provided he can keep his artistic and all-access no-stone-unturned side of the deal – is going to be a sure-fire commercial winner given the band's ability to sell out every single date on the tour, taking an estimated £400 million in ticket sales with the two brothers trousering £50 million each.
Guy Ritchie must be furious.
Knight also wrote David Cronenberg's Eastern Promises, Stephen Frears' Dirty Pretty Things and scripted, produced and directed Locke, starring Tom Hardy.
Recent musical jaunts include creating and writing the ska documentary series This Town for the BBC and writing Maria, the Oscar-nominated film about Maria Callas starring Angelina Jolie.
The upcoming Knight-produced Oasis opus will be directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace with the pair toting major musical form in the shape of LCD Soundsystem's documentary and concert film Shut Up And Play The Hits and Meet Me In The Bathroom the acclaimed documentary on the early 2000s NYC music scene.
As yet there's no word of a release date or what medium (or streaming platform) the finished product will eventually reach their fans on, but, whatever the band chooses here's hoping it's not 'dynamically priced', eh?

Sophie Turner Responds to Mommy Shamer on Instagram
After years of criticism in the press, Sophie Turner isn't afraid to stand up for herself. Last week, Sophie called out a mommy shamer in her Instagram comments, defending herself from yet another unwarranted attack on her parenting. This all began on Aug. 4, when Sophie shared a carousel on Instagram of herself and friends enjoying a night out at an Oasis concert. 'Bucket hats & beers... That'll do me. Thank you @levis,' she captioned the post. Pretty harmless stuff, unless you're a troll looking for clout. One such troll decided to take to the comments, writing, 'lmfao I think she has forgotten that she has two kids.' If that sounds like a weird thing to assume based on one photo dump from an Oasis concert, that's because it is. And Sophie, who is mom to Willa, 5, and Delphine, 3, with her ex Joe Jonas, wasn't about to let it slide. 'Ah, I'm so sorry, sometimes I forget some people can't think for themselves,' she wrote in response. 'So... Get this... There's this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day.' Sophie is no stranger to this line of criticism. After she and Joe announced their split in 2023, she was painted as an absent mother to their two young girls. Tabloids accused her of being a bad mother while Joe was photographed having lunch with their kids. 'Those were the worst few days of my life,' Sophie later told British Vogue, explaining that, at the time, she was on set in the UK filming Joan and unable to return to the states to see her girls. 'It hurt because I really do completely torture myself over every move I make as a mother—mum guilt is so real!' After a contentious custody battle, Sophie and Joe were able to work out a joint custody agreement, and the two appear to be on good terms.

However, one commenter didn't seem pleased with the star's post. 'Lmfao i think she has forgotten that she has two kids,' the person wrote in a comment shared on Thursday, Aug. 7. Turner personally responded to the comment the same day, writing, 'ah I'm so sorry sometimes I forget some people can't think for themselves.' She added, 'So…. Get this….There's this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day.' Fans were also quick to come to Turner's defense in the post's comments section.

'Would you say this to Joe?' asked someone else, referring to Turner's ex-husband and the father of her two children, Joe Jonas. Turner shares daughters Willa, 5, and Delphine, 3, with Jonas. The former couple divorced in September 2024 after tying the knot in 2019. While Turner has been open about her 'incredibly sad' split from Jonas, 35, the pair have also seemingly found their footing as collaborative co-parents. 'There's a mutual respect [between them] now, and the girls are their priority,' a source told PEOPLE in July. 'Joe and Sophie have hit a surprisingly peaceful groove, and they've maintained an amicable relationship from two continents, which isn't easy, but they've managed to pull it off,' the source added, referring to the fact that Turner now lives in her home country of England.

For his part, Jonas recently gave insight into his co-parenting relationship with Turner during Jay Shetty's On Purpose Live Tour in Hollywood, Fla. In a TikTok video, Jonas could be heard telling Shetty that he has a "beautiful co-parenting relationship" with Turner. 'I have a beautiful co-parenting relationship that I'm really grateful for,' he said. 'Having an incredible mom, Sophie, for those girls is like a dream come true.'

Sophie Turner Hit Back At Someone Who Suggested She'd 'Forgotten' About Her Kids Because She Went To A Concert With A Friend, And Her Response Is Perfect
Last week, Sophie Turner shared a bunch of photos and videos of herself living her best life at an Oasis concert with a friend. But sadly, one internet user took Sophie's post as an opportunity to mom-shame her, questioning why she wasn't with her kids. Related: As you might know, Sophie shares two young daughters with her ex-husband, Joe Jonas. And while their 2023 split was initially incredibly messy, the pair appear to be on good terms now, and have talked openly about coparenting between the UK, where she is from, and the US, where he is from. Last year, Sophie admitted that she 'hates' being alone at her house while her kids are with Joe, describing her loneliness as 'absolute agony' during a chat with Harper's Bazaar. In the same interview, Sophie told the outlet, 'I want [my kids] to see me having a social life and enjoying work and thriving in my career and relationships. I'll come back and say, 'This is why Mummy was away – it's because she's doing this for you, so Father Christmas can come with a big bundle of presents.'' Related: And so, it's perhaps unsurprising that Sophie was so quick to hit back at the Instagram user who mom-shamed her under her Oasis post. The user wrote, 'lmfao i think she has forgotten that she has two kids,' to which Sophie replied, 'ah I'm so sorry sometimes I forget some people can't think for themselves. So…. Get this….There's this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day.' Sophie has since been flooded with support from infuriated fans who are calling out the double standards around expectations from mothers compared to fathers. 'I'm sure no one is commenting on the Jonas accounts wondering why he isn't with his kids,' one user wrote. 'Yet no one comments 'I think he has forgotten he has 2 kids' under Joe's posts. Double standards in 2025 is crazy,' another person echoed. Related: 'no one gives a fuck if men piss off for milk and never come back but a woman does a single thing except be a walking breathing incubator and robot that just follows her kids around she's the worst mother in the world,' someone said, while another simply added, 'Mom's truly can't win.' 'ppl gotta ease up! Moms can't do it 'right' no matter wtf they do these days,' one comment said. Someone questioned, 'Are moms not allowed to have friends and take pictures without their kids?' Another user asked, 'Do people not realize that parents have lives outside of their children?' Meanwhile, one more person added, 'The fact that it's a woman doing the shaming makes it so much more heartbreaking to read.' Related: Indeed, it is so, SO exhausting to see mothers get these types of comments in 2025. Let us know what you think down below.
