November already? Surely there must be some sort of law against this… but sure enough, the skeletons and pumpkins are being swapped out for colorful lights and fake snow ahead of the winter holidays. In TV land it’s time for winter (!) premieres and finales, and some welcome breaks for hungry viewers to catch up on everything they’ve missed.

The month brings a handful of exciting premieres, including “FX’s Say Nothing,” Hulu’s “Interior Chinatown,” Netflix’s “A Man on the Inside,” and “Dune Prophecy” on HBO. Eddie Redmayne, Billy Bob Thornton, and Colman Domingo come to the small screen with “The Day of the Jackal,” “Landman,” and “The Madness,” respectively, and viewers will finally get a taste of Prime Video’s televised take on “Cruel Intentions.”

This list sticks to new releases, which is why you won’t see the return of “Arcane” or “Bad Sisters” or “Yellowstone” on here,...

It’s the viral moment about women’s safety that has been dominating social media feeds this week, but Saoirse Ronan says she did not intend to spark the online discussion.

The Irish actress shared The Graham Norton Show sofa with Paul Mescal, Eddie Redmayne, and Denzel Washington on Friday and talk turned to self-defense skills.

Redmayne revealed how was taught to use a phone as a weapon while filming The Day of the Jackal, leading Mescal to make a joke about putting his Mom on hold while dealing with an assailant.

“Who’s actually going to think about that,” he cracked. Ronan, who smiled knowingly during the exchange, replied: “That’s what girls have to think about all the time. Am I right ladies?”

As the holiday season approaches, television is set to deliver a mix of high-octane drama, captivating sci-fi, and returning fan favorites to keep viewers entertained. According to the Whip Watch Report for November 2024, U.S. audiences are especially excited about HBO’s “Dune: Prophecy” and Netflix’s returning hit “Arcane,” topping the list of most-anticipated new and returning shows, respectively. This diverse array of TV content promises to make November a banner month for television fans, blending epic world-building, thrilling storytelling, and some much-awaited returns.

Leading the new series lineup is “Dune: Prophecy,” HBO’s ambitious adaptation that delves into the origins of the “Dune” universe. With “Dune: Prophecy” set to premiere on Nov. 17, fans of the legendary sci-fi epic are eagerly awaiting this prequel that expands the backstory of Frank Herbert’s complex world. Following the success of the “Dune” films, this series...

Saoirse Ronan said she was surprised by the response to her viral comment about violence against women on The Graham Norton Show, but glad it seemed to be “opening a conversation again.”

In a new interview on the Ryan Tubridy Show on Virgin Radio UK, Ronan called the reaction “wild,” adding, “It’s definitely not something that I had expected, and I didn’t necessarily set out to sort of make a splash.”

The moment occurred on a recent episode of Norton, where Ronan was seated alongside Denzel Washington, Paul Mescal,...

Saoirse Ronan has responded to the fervent fan reaction following a viral clip from the U.K.’s Graham Norton Show, where she spotlighted women’s safety while speaking with Denzel Washington, Paul Mescal and Eddie Redmayne.

The Irish actress appeared on the BBC One talk show last week to promote Steve McQueen’s Blitz, while Mescal and Washington were present for Gladiator II and Redmayne for the Sky series The Day of the Jackal. After Redmayne explained how he had learnt how to use a phone as a weapon while training for his assassin role, Mescal poked fun at who would, realistically, have time to reach for their phone if attacked.

Ronan interrupted while the men spoke: “That’s what girls have to think about all the time. Am I right ladies?” The crowd replied with applause.

The snippet from the show drew hundreds of thousands of comments on...

Hungary’s 30% tax incentive for film and TV, which has helped attract recent Hollywood shoots like “Dune: Part Two,” “Maria” and “The Brutalist” to the country, has been extended by six years.

Hungary, continental Europe’s biggest production hub, has attracted direct annual production spend totalling $910 million, a fourfold increase in the last five years.

The extension of the tax incentive was revealed on Monday in Los Angeles by government commissioner for the development of the Hungarian film industry, Csaba Kael, who was in the city to reveal the winners of Hungarian Film Institute’s inaugural awards for Best International Production Filmed in Hungary.

Originally launched in 2004, the Hungarian film support scheme has contributed to such Hollywood films as “Hellboy II: The Golden Army,” “A Good Day to Die Hard,” “The Martian” and “Terminator: Dark Fate.” Other international productions to have filmed in Hungary include “Poor Things,” Ridley Scott’s “Alien: Romulus,...

Love them or hate them, movie-to-tv adaptations are going to continue.

The Day of the Jackal is a critically acclaimed 1973 film getting the series treatment at Peacock. It offers a fresh take on the hitman saga that is sure to keep you on your toes.

This is one adaptation you will love.

Starring Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne as Jackal and Lashana Lynch as the agent moving heaven and earth to stop him, The Day of the Jackal is the ultimate game of cat and mouse, but you never quite know which is which.

Hungary’s 30% tax incentive for film and series productions has been extended for six more years.

The announcement was made by the Hungarian film commissioner Csaba Kael at the inaugural Made in Hungary event — a celebration of productions shot in the Central European country — in Los Angeles yesterday. The incentive will now run until 2030.

Hungary has become a popular shooting location for Hollywood productions in recent years thanks to its generous incentive program and experienced production crews. The incentive offers film and series projects produced in Hungary a 30% rebate based on their expenditure spent in the country. The scheme is part of the country’s film support program. The financial support is provided as a cash refund post-financing.

Recent international productions filmed in Hungary include Alien: Romulus, The Brutalist, Dune: Prophecy, NBC’s The Day of the Jackal, Pablo Larrain’s Maria, FBI: International, NCIS, and the Now You See Me series.

Saoirse Ronan just put into words what women have to go through on almost a daily basis.

Throughout the years, we have come to terms with the fact that the world is simply not a safe place for women. The thoughts of being attacked or taken advantage of are constantly lurking in the back of our minds. It is this fear that draws women to learn self-defense and come up with ridiculous ideas to save themselves from a potential attacker, even if it means turning something as harmless as a mobile phone into a weapon.

Thus, when Paul Mescal joked about the potential use of mobile phones to fend off an attacker, Saoirse Ronan was not impressed. Despite the couch laughing at his joke, it didn’t take the actress long to silence the guests with her nonchalant yet extremely thought-provoking remark.

Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch are bringing their new Peacock series to the United Kingdom!

Eddie and Lashana, who is pregnant with her first child, posed for photos together on the red carpet at The Day of the Jackal premiere on Tuesday (October 22) held at Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, England.

Eddie and Lashana had the support of their spouses Hannah and Zackary Momoh, respectively, at the premiere.

Fellow cast members in attendance included Úrsula Corberó, Chukwudi Iwuji, Richard Dormer, Lia Williams, Jonjo O’Neill, and Sule Rimi.

Here’s a synopsis: “A ruthless assassin, the Jackal, (Redmayne) 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 (Lynch) who starts to track down the Jackal in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe, leaving destruction in its wake.”

The Day of the Jackal will premiere on November 14 on Peacock.

The Jackal was on the loose in London on Tuesday evening. Eddie Redmayne, Lashana Lynch, and Úrsula Corberó, known for her role as Tokyo in Netflix hit Money Heist, were among the stars of the upcoming TV adaptation of The Day of the Jackal for Sky and Peacock who attended the U.K. premiere of the series at Queen Elizabeth Hall at the Southbank Centre in the British capital.

Redmayne plays the famous fictional assassin in the original series based on the Frederick Forsyth novel and award-winning 1973 film adaptation of the same name from Universal Pictures. The star also executive-produced the show.

The series, which recently received a trailer, also features Charles Dance (Game of Thrones, The Crown), Richard Dormer (Fortitude, Game of Thrones), Chukwudi Iwuji (Guardians of the Galaxy, The Split), Lia Williams (The Capture, The Crown), Khalid Abdalla (The Crown, The Kite Runner), Eleanor Matsuura (The Walking Dead,...

It’s been over 50 years since The Day Of The Jackal became a classic of the political thriller genre – a gripping cat-and-mouse pulse-raiser about a master assassin, known simply as ‘The Jackal’, and the officer intent on taking him down. Now, all these years later, the story returns in series form with a stellar duo in those predator-and-prey roles: Eddie Redmayne as the seemingly shape-shifting sniper, and Lashana Lynch as his law-abiding nemesis. The chase is back on.

As Redmayne tells Empire in the Mickey 17 issue, the series both updates the story, now set in the present day, while keeping the old-school nature at the heart of it. “What I love about [the show] is this thrilling, very contemporary quality,” he explains, “but it has that analogue spycraft.” And in series form, the audience really has time to get under the Jackal’s skin. “What Edward Fox does so stunningly [in the ’73 film] is...

Day of the Jackal is based on Frederick Forsyth’s 1971 bestselling novel, which was adapted into the iconic 1973 film starring Edward Fox.

Lashana Lynch plays a British intelligence officer chasing Eddie Redmayne as an elusive assassin in the official trailer for The Day of the Jackal thriller series that dropped on Wednesday.
