[Uchiha God]

The Day of the Jackal is a brand new thriller based on the classic 1971 book by Frederick Forsyth about a lone wolf and his global scale threat.

The official synopsis, reads:

“An unrivalled and highly elusive lone assassin, the Jackal, makes his living carrying out hits for the highest fee. But following his latest kill, he meets his match in a tenacious British intelligence officer who starts to track down the Jackal in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe, leaving destruction in its wake.”

With a fresh twist on the source material, including the subsequent award-winning 1973 film from Universal Pictures, The Day of the Jackal promises a chase across the world as the hunter becomes the hunted.

The series will run for 10 episodes.

Yup, I'm all in.

 

[KingsOfKings]

Looks fire

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Definitely on my radar. Hope the reviews are good.

 

[WaveCapsByOscorp™]

Ehhh. I would have preferred a period piece styled as a prequel. This just seems like they took the character and basically made a new universe. If that’s the case, it could be anybody or any assassin, not just the Jackal.

 

[Regular_P]

I'm definitely in.

 

[Nero Christ]

Looks run of the mill

 

[MikelArteta]
