Eddie Redmayne is set to executive produce and star in Peacock and Sky’s upcoming
“The Day of the Jackal”. The thriller series is based on Frederick Forsyth’s novel,
which has been reimagined as a contemporary story set amidst the current turbulent
geo-political landscape and will delve deeper into the chameleon-like ‘anti-hero’.
The filming will run from June to early 2024,
and Eddie will come to Hungary!!!!!
“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 Gareth Neame. “Paired with
Ronan’s screenplay and Brian Kirk’s direction, this is a first-class creative team.”
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.
Update:
A photo was taken at the Artists Rifles Clubhouse on Friday 21st April 2023.
Was the shooting club visit part of his preparation for his new role? Probably.
Thanks to Cathy Corner who posted the photo on Facebook.
