New trailer for “The Day Of The Jackal”

Eddie Redmayne, known for his diverse roles, is taking on a new challenge. The Oscar winner will take on the role of a dangerous assassin in the upcoming series “The Day of the Jackal.”

The new interpretation of the classic promises excitement and a top-class cast.

As “Sky” reports, “The Day of the Jackal” is a “modern reinterpretation of the 1971 novel of the same name by Frederick Forsyth.” The series stays true to the original story, but delves deeper into the character of the protagonist.

Of course, the jackal is again at the center of the story. A loner professional killer who is always one step ahead of the authorities thanks to his clever nature.

Redmayne embodies this mysterious and dangerous character.

For Eddie Redmayne, this role represents a departure from his old characters. Redmayne won an Oscar in 2015 for his portrayal of physicist Steven Hawking in The Discovery of Infinity.

He is also known to many as Newt Scamander from “Fantastic Beasts”.

The role of the jackal represents a new challenge. “Movie-infos” quotes from the series description: “The jackal (Eddie Redmayne) is an exceptional killer who is extremely difficult to catch.”

This portrayal promises an exciting development for the versatile actor.

Fans will have to be patient a little longer. However, “The Day Of The Jackal” will not be in theaters.

This is a ten-episode series that will be shown exclusively on Sky and the associated streaming service WOW on November 7, 2024.

Eddie Redmayne’s transformation from Oscar winner to stone-cold killer promises to be an exciting television event. “The Day of the Jackal” could herald a new era in the talented actor’s career.
