Jackal 101: Here’s the intel
Tumblr media
Just as with any good thriller, details are rolling out slowly, deliberately — and intriguingly— on the Sky TV/Peacock 10-part series, The Day of the Jackal, slated for release late in 2024. Here’s what’s out there about the series, in which Eddie Redmayne both plays the lead as the cold-blooded political assassin and serves as an executive producer.
A few observations of our own:
•Filming has been seen largely in Hungary and Croatia, with a brief stop in London’s Camden Locks.
•Eddie has made references to learning some Spanish, and he was seen in Cadiz with members of the production team last April.
•Other prep apparently included him taking a course in stunt driving. Altogether, the stunt team is listed as having 14 members.
•The cast and crew, as unfolding on the Internet Movie Database, is vast. Among the other behind-the-scenes credits, we can see drone photography, prostheses (Jackal’s disguises?), dialect coaching, animal wrangling, an armorer (weaponry/ammo), military presence, and an intimacy coordinator (sexual content).
Share what you find interesting about the production, once you peruse these sources:

Eddie Redmayne to Lead ‘The Day of the Jackal’ at Peacock, Sky
By Selome HailuPlus Icon
Eddie Redmayne has been cast in “The Day of the Jackal,” Peacock and Sky’s upcoming reimagining of Frederick Forsyth’s novel and Universal’s film of the same name. He will also executive produce the thriller series.
Redmayne will play the Jackal, who is hired by the OAS, a French dissident organization, to kill then-president of France Charles de Gaulle.
Redmayne recently starred opposite Jessica Chastain in Netflix’s “The Good Nurse.” He is also known for playing Stephen Hawking in James Marsh’s 2014 biopic “The Theory of Everything,” which earned him the Oscar for best actor. Redmayne’s other prominent credits include “The Trial of The Chicago Seven,” “The Danish Girl,” “Les Miserables” and the “Fantastic Beasts” films.
He is repped by CAA, United Agents and Jackoway Tyerman Wertheimer Austen Mandelbaum Morris & Klein.
Ronan Bennett serves as showrunner of “The Day of the Jackal,” which hails from Universal International’s Carnival Films and was commissioned by Sky Studios and Peacock. Brian Kirk directs. Executive producers include Carnival CEO Gareth Neame alongside Nigel Marchant, as well as Sam Hoyle for Sky. Marianne Buckland serves as co-executive producer, Forsyth serves as consulting producer and Christopher Hall serves as producer. Production begins this year. The series will stream on Peacock in the U.S. and Sky in the U.K., Ireland, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. NBCUniversal Global Distribution will handle international sales of the series.
“We are excited to bring to life Ronan Bennett’s re-imagining of Forsyth’s revered thriller in the complex world in which we live today and are incredibly fortunate to have an actor of Eddie’s calibre as our Jackal,” said Neame. “Paired with Ronan’s screenplay and Brian Kirk’s direction, this is a first-class creative team.”

Absolutely adored the short film "The Shepherd" that recently aired. The acting was amazing especially Ben Radcliffe to my surprise, i can't believe that I forgot that he was in the "Anatomy of a Scandal" which by the way he was brilliant in that too. Can't wait for his new project "Masters of the Air". John Travolta never disappoints especially his Incrediblely Warm Smile 😊 & the person i didn't expect but it was lovely seeing him was Steven Mackintosh so Versatile, Prolific, and Acclaimed. The short film was based on the book "The Shepherd" by Frederick Forsyth.

Enter The Jackal: First look
Eddie Redmayne cuts a stylish figure as The Jackal in @mo_klo’s Instagram footage from Croatia shoot of The Day of the Jackal series for Peacock/SkyTV. In fact, except for the Jackal’s cravat, Eddie could be in one of his street ensembles.
Eddie is portraying the elusive assassin made famous in Frederick Forsyth’s best selling 1971 political thriller novel + the classic 1973 film adaptation.

Perry Como (1912-2001) performing Christmas Dream, the theme to The Odessa File (1974), one that doesn't always spring to mind when you're trying to think of Christmas movies.
I first saw it at some point in the 1980's and then read Frederick Forsyth's 1972 source novel some years later. In between I had managed to forget a major plot element, which I won't go into, so it meant that seeing the movie first didn't ruin the book for me. I've read most of Forsyth's books since but this one and The Day of the Jackal remain favourites. Both outstanding page turners.
The song itself, reminiscent of Elvis Presley's Wooden Heart in places, was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice in a very rare movie outing for them.
