Art & Crafts LIVE: Stylish Spycraft on ‘The Day of the Jackal’
Description
In this episode recorded live on May 8 at the American Society of Cinematographers Clubhouse in Los Angeles, cinematographer Nicole Hirsch Whitaker, ASC speaks with three of the creators behind Peacock’s The Day of the Jackal thriller series: director and executive producer Brian Kirk, costume designer Natalie Humphries and director of photography Christopher Ross. The series follows the cat-and-mouse saga of an assassin (Eddie Redmayne) and a British intelligence officer (Lashana Lynch), a twisty tale that leans into the legacy of British spy novels but with a modern edge. When creator Ronan Bennett told Kirk he wanted to set the series "in a world where everybody lies about everything all the time,” Kirk recalls, “I was immediately attracted to the prospect.”
