The TV Series will stream on November 7 or 8, 2024 on Sky in the UK. The Day of the Jackal is based on the 1971 novel of the same name by Frederick Forsyth, about an assassin hired to kill the President of France in 1963. Several movies have been made from the book, the 1973 "The Day of the Jackal", the 1988 film “August 1”, the 1997 movie “The Jackal” starring Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, and Sidney Poitier, and the 2023 homage "The Killer".

He meets his match in a tenacious British intelligence officer, Bianca, who is tracking down the Jackal in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe, leaving destruction in their wake. A mysterious client on the dark web offers the Jackal enough money to retire if he can pull off the biggest hit of his career. We delve into The Jackal's backstory, motivations and how he maintains an air of normalcy.

I might have been less critical if the title was "Day of the Assassin" or something. But if you are making a show "based" on a classic book, then make a show based on that book. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/148921-the-day-of-the-jackal-anticipation/#findComment-8543542

This is one of my pet peeves with "updated" versions of perfectly good material (books, movies, plays). If you aren't going to respect the original story, change the name and write your own as "inspired by". 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/148921-the-day-of-the-jackal-anticipation/#findComment-8550503
aghst January 9 Share January 9 Was the original a big hit? IMDB shows that it grossed $16-17 million in 1973. Not bad but not boffo. It was before home video so maybe it didn't have much revenues beyond that. It's available for rent but not streaming anywhere. Does anyone remember Edward Fox, the lead? It got very good reviews but it's not Raging Bull or The Godfather, which are revered films from the '70s. Maybe the show will get many to watch the film, including myself. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/148921-the-day-of-the-jackal-anticipation/#findComment-8550514
