As a long-time fan of British cinema, I must say that Eddie Redmayne’s transformation in “The Day of the Jackal” has truly caught my attention. The Les Misérables actor’s portrayal as an exceptional assassin in this new series is nothing short of mesmerizing.

On Thursday evening, Eddie Redmayne perfectly embodied the leading role, exuding elegance as he gracefully attended the premiere of “The Day Of The Jackal” in New York.

In the upcoming Peacock series, the 42-year-old actor who plays the main assassin character wore a white shirt with a large collar and a sleek black suit for photos taken on the red carpet, striking a pose.

Eddie completed his stylish appearance by adding sleek black shoes, exuding self-assuredness as he struck various poses for multiple photos.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I found myself beaming alongside The Danish Girl’s captivating star on the vibrant red carpet, where he exuded an infectious enthusiasm. My co-star for the evening, the radiant Lyshana Lynch, graced us with her presence, proudly flaunting her blossoming baby bump – a testament to her recent revelation of expecting her first child.

Actress, aged 36, is set to welcome her first child with partner Zackary Momoh. However, the specific delivery date remains undisclosed at this time.

She drew attention while donning an Ottolinger dress featuring a design that resembled a shirt and tie on its upper part, without sleeves.

The ensemble also contained cheetah-print details and clung to her frame as she stopped by the screening at the Walter Reade Theater. 

At some point, the two stars were noticed beaming bright grins while enjoying their reunion during the glamorous gathering of stars.

Lashana took on the role of Bianca in The Day Of The Jackal, which is an adaptation of a novel of the same name written by Frederick Forsythe. 

The premise of the series is: ‘A manhunt takes place for a dangerous elusive assassin known only as the Jackal [Redmayne],’ per an IMDB synopsis.   

Additionally starring in the production are Ursula Corbero, Charles Dance, and Richard Dormer, alongside Lynch and Redmayne.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must admit that the latest trailer for “The Day of the Jackal” has stirred quite a buzz, with many speculating about Eddie potentially stepping into the role of James Bond. His chiseled physique is certainly turning heads and fueling these intriguing discussions.

The Day of the Jackal is a screen adaptation from Frederick Forsyth’s novel with the same title. In this story, Redmayne (who allegedly earned $1,299,550 per episode) portrays the main character, the ruthless assassin, who is being chased by a tenacious British intelligence officer named Bianca.

The intense trailer, scored by Radiohead’s song “Everything In Its Right Place,” opens with the Jackal committing a murder via a sniper rifle. As Bianca refers to him as an ‘exceptionally skilled assassin,’ set to carry out more killings, she states confidently, ‘I am certain I can track him down.’

The two-and-a-half-minute excerpt, titled ‘mimic,’ showcases Redmayne’s enigmatic character traversing various parts of the world for his profession. It seems to subtly suggest a budding relationship with Nuria, portrayed by Úrsula Corberó.

In one scene she asks him: ‘What do you do?’ to which he replies: ‘If I told you the truth, then I’ll lose you,’ before a man working alongside Bianca tells her: ‘This is a wild goose chase and it’s not helping our department’s reputation,’ as she becomes frustrated with the task of finding the Jackal. 

In the trailer, viewers catch a sneak peek of Redmayne without a shirt, and fans were thrilled by his physical transformation for this high-energy part. They even speculated that he might be a strong contender for the next James Bond.

User 1 expressed that they hadn’t previously thought of Eddie Redmayne as a potential James Bond, but now they’re considering it.

I was exhorted enthusiastically by someone else: “Swiftly make me the next James Bond!” Another individual chimed in, saying, “It appears I’ve become the new 007.

The Les Misérables actor appeared on Today last week morning and spoke to host Savannah Guthrie about his latest role and having to wear a prosthetic bald cap in one scene.

He clarified, “There are some moments that seem unreal, and I had a few of those instances. When the prosthetics adhered all the way down to my chest, taking off my shirt made for quite an unusual sight.

However, what draws me to this work is its deep dedication to showcasing the artistic skills of the prosthetic artists, delving into the fine details of crafting these pieces and the process of applying them.

Among the interesting findings I learned from speaking with a prosthetic artist was their explanation that numerous intelligence agencies have started employing this technology, given its capability for facial recognition.

Additionally, Redmayne mentioned that he collaborated with an individual specializing in tactical and covert operations, who instructed him on subtle methods of moving around streets and observing people by glancing at reflections in car windows and mirrors without drawing attention.

The Day of the Jackal starts on Peacock on November 14.
