In the upcoming action-packed thriller, Eddie Redmayne portrays the elusive assassin known as The Jackal, hired to eliminate a prominent figure. Lashana Lynch plays Bianca, a tenacious British intelligence operative determined to thwart him. A fresh trailer has been unveiled, offering glimpses of increased action, with The Jackal using multiple disguises (including that of an elderly man) as he readies for his target. The storyline also hints at a romantic entanglement between The Jackal and Úrsula Corberó’s character, who seems to be caught up in the perilous chase. Check out the synopsis and trailer below!

An unrivaled and highly elusive lone assassin, the Jackal, (Eddie Redmayne) makes his living carrying out hits for the highest fee. But following his latest kill, he meets his match in a tenacious British intelligence officer (Lashana Lynch) who starts to track down the Jackal in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe, leaving destruction in its wake.

Since its initial publication in 1971, Frederick Forsyth’s novel “The Day of the Jackal” has maintained its status as a timeless classic thriller for more than half a century. The story revolves around a group of French extremists who aim to assassinate then-President of France, Charles DeGaulle. They recruit an unnamed professional assassin, referred to as the Jackal, to carry out the deed. Throughout the narrative, the Jackal employs multiple disguises while readying himself for the assassination, all while a tenacious French detective pursues him, culminating in a heart-pounding climax.

1973 saw the release of a movie adaptation that mirrored the success of the book. In 1997, however, a film loosely based on it was produced, titled “The Jackal,” featuring Bruce Willis in an uncommon villainous character as the assassin and Richard Gere portraying an IRA operative attempting to apprehend him.

The Day of the Jackal premieres Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024 with the first five episodes on Peacock.
