The hunter. Spotted. 👀 To celebrate the launch of nail-biting Sky Original thriller 'The Day of the Jackal', colleagues across Osterley gathered for an exclusive 'making of' event featuring Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne and BAFTA Award winner Lashana Lynch. Hosted by Sky News Presenter, Sarah-Jane Mee, we delved into thrilling behind-the-scenes stories directly from the cast, unforgettable moments from filming, and exciting insights into the dynamic characters. A natural chameleon. The Jackal has an innate ability to blend in with a crowd and change his appearance - and our teams were able to get a sneak peak into the incredible make-up and special effects as part of our on-site experience. The Day of the Jackal is ready to draw you into its tangled world, where nothing is as it seems and you can trust no one. Watch exclusively on Sky and NOW.#LifeAtSky #SkyOriginal
