The day of the jackal gay
Peacock’s The Day of the Jackal, a new adaptation of the novel by Frederick Forsyth, is pretty great television. There’s just one part that makes no fucking instinct and causes me to laugh hysterically every time I think about it.
The Day of the Jackal is an enjoyable cat and mouse game about a terrorist and a counter-terrorist operative trying to block them. Eddie Redmayne stars as the Jackal, using his uncanny valley qualities appropriately to portray an exacting assassin who always gets his target, slipping in and out of new identities and leaving the scene without a trace. Lashana Lynch is an absolute revelation as the MI6 agent spicy on his track, struggling to even out her dedication to her job with the havoc it wreaks on her personal life. The only real difficulty with the exhibit is the Jackal’s target: a tech entrepreneur with a killer app that does… something.
The motivations for the smack on this victim make perfect instinct. Ulle Dag Charles, or UDC, played by Khalid Abdalla, is like a reverse Peter Thiel in that he’s a weirdly menacing gay tech billionaire who, instead of ruining
This interview with Frederick Forsyth comes from the Telegraph on the 40th anniversary and re-issue of Morning of the Jackal - often called the assassin's manual.
I love this novel, re-read it every year and watch the wonderful black and white clip made in the 70's.

Every time I move through the Gare Montparnasse I watch for the window where the Jackal made his shots at de Gaulle and once I even attempted to receive in the building a la the Jackal but alas couldn't crack the door code. No assassin with a prosthesis containing a rife of my own design, me.
Day of the Jackal influenced so many; mercenaries, writers and the way the society looked at politics. Here's part of the article. I hope you like it, read the Night of the Jackal again or for the first time. I was thrilled to learn more how Forsyth wrote the novel. From the Telegraph interview with Frederick Forsyth:

The Day Of The Jackal Season 1 Episode 6 Ending Explained: What The Jackal Is Really Using Rasmus For
The Day of the Jackal came to another tense conclusion in episode 6, when the Jackal found himself in a very different position to where he was just one episode earlier. The Morning of the Jackal TV series is a reimagined and updated version of the film and the novel of the identical name. The series has proven to be thrilling with electric performances from Eddie Redmayne as the Jackal and Lashana Lynch as Bianca Pullman.
The Jackal is an assassin who has been hired to kill one of the most powerful men in the world, Ulle Dag Charles, before he unveils a recent program to the world that will make the flow of money more transparent.

The Day of the Jack I dont remember hearing of THE DAY OF THE JACKAL(Fred Zinnemann, ) spoken of in relation to gay representation but here is the sauna pick-up scene, repeated in the current tv version to close the latest episode, but here filmed more discreetly so that viewers who dont want to know dont need to notice. The use of actual locations is also an enormous pleasure. See below the British Library at the British Museum, filmed in , just before it moved to St. Pancras.
