Fresh off his Oscar win for Oppenheimer (2023), Irish actor Cillian Murphy is all set to star in and produce the cinematic adaptation of the 2020 book Blood Runs Coal: The Yablonski Murders and the Battle for the United Mine Workers of America by Mark A. Bradley. The book revolves around Chip Yablonski, the son of a trade union activist residing in the coal mining town of Clarksville, Pennsylvania, in the late 1960s. After the brutal murder of his family, Chip, a lawyer, sets out to exact revenge on the man responsible, UMWA president Tony Boyle. Interested in knowing when Blood Runs Coal is coming out?

Here’s all the Blood Runs Coal release date information we know so far, and all the details on when it is coming out.
Is there a Blood Runs Coal release date?
Blood Runs Coal’s release date could arrive by 2025 at the earliest.
In late March 2024, Universal Pictures announced that it had secured the cinematics rights to Bradley’s book. It was a pre-emptive acquisition that happened two days before the 96th Academy Awards. Murphy will reportedly portray Chip in the upcoming film. He will also serve as the producer alongside Alan Moloney through their Big Things Films banner. John Davis and Jordan Davis of Davis Entertainment will also produce the project. John-Henry Butterworth and Jez Butterworth, who previously worked together on Edge of Tomorrow, will develop the script.
No information is yet available on the film’s director and Murphy’s fellow cast members. If Blood Runs Coal goes into production in 2024, it can potentially come out sometime in 2025.
This date is an estimation based on the information we have at the time of this writing.
