In case you missed it in amongst the Marie Antoinette x Gojira performance or Snoop Dogg’s latest side quest to not drop [the Olympic Torch] like it’s hot, Peacock took the Olympics’ Opening Ceremony as a chance to release a winner of their own.
They shared the teaser trailer for The Day of the Jackal, a thrilling modern day take on the novel by Frederick Forsyth and subsequent 1973 film of the same name. Eddie Redmayne stars as a ruthless and talented assassin who finds himself up against a fiercely astute British intelligence officer (Lashana Lynch) for a classic cat-and-mouse chase across Europe. Redmayne and Lynch make a formidable pair and the tension between them is electrifying; good luck not getting sucked right into this teaser.
The Day of the Jackal premieres on Peacock and Sky on November 7.
