What Is The Day of the Jackal Based On? Peacock Thriller’s 1970’s Roots Explained
In some part of the globe, there exists a remarkable assassin, a shadowy and lethal figure. He consistently operates solo, constantly changes his appearance, and never reveals his true identity. He steps out from the darkness to carry out his brutal tasks, vanishing just as swiftly – unless British intelligence manages to intervene. This sets the stage for Peacock’s forthcoming ’70s suspense drama The Day of the Jackal, featuring Lashana Lynch, Úrsula Corberó, and Eddie Redmayne portraying the enigmatic character known as the Jackal.
