Day of The Jackal, the best-selling 1971 novel which inspired Bruce Willis’ 1997 action-thriller The Jackal, is getting a fresh TV series remake with Lashana Lynch and Eddie Redmayne. Previously inspiring a 1973 film adaptation, the property was later reworked in the late ‘90s with Willis playing the titular hitman known as the Jackal and Richard Gere assuming the role of a former IRA sniper tasked with aiding in his capture. Despite performing well at the box office, The Jackal was lambasted by critics and earned Gere a nomination for Worst Fake Accent in the Stinkers Bad Movie Awards.
