24′ Eyes Return As Limited Series On Fox, Howard Gordon To EP, Kiefer Sutherland In Talks To Star
By NELLIE ANDREEVA
The clock may start ticking again on Fox. Ive learned that the network is looking to bring back its signature real-time drama 24 as a limited series. Kiefer Sutherland is in talks to reprise his Emmy-winning role as Agent Jack Bauer. No deals are in place, but Fox is eying 24 as part of its recent push in limited event series. Since 24 ended its eight-season run on Fox in 2010, there have been efforts to continue the story as a feature, which ultimately didnt take off. I hear the idea to do another 24 chapter on TV came from longtime 24 showrunner Howard Gordon, now executive producer on Showtimes Homeland. I hear he pitched the plan, which would start from scratch with a new story arc, to 24 producers 20th Century Fox TV and studio-based Imagine TV as well as Fox, which all jumped on board. Gordon will likely executive produce through his 20th TV-based company Teakwood Lane. In addition to Homeland, Gordon executive produces the newly picked up TNT series Legends and high-profile FX pilot Tyrant, which is being directed by Ang Lee.
I have to say I am getting the same bad feeling as quite a few of you about Chloe.
Just watched the episode, and I'm pretty sure that window toss is my new favorite moment of the season. Still don't like the death fake-out, but that did a lot to make up for it, lol.
They should have done the one hour per episode and make all 24 episodes.
I prefer this 12 hour format. All killer no filler.
It'll be interesting to see how that time jump works in a show that's never done that before. Hopefully it doesn't feel too disjointed and different from regular 24 episodes.I just found out that the time jump will occur at the last episode, as it will cover the remaining 12 hours from 10pm - 11am.
