24: Live Another Day - Part 2

[Golgo-13]

The comic con panel just wrapped. No new season announced

What was said, then?

 

[Deserana]

Was just about making the season, bit about the bluray and fan questions.

 

[flickchick85]

Was there seriously no fan that asked about another season?! How was that not the FIRST question asked?!

 

[Golgo-13]

Maybe the questions were pre-arranged.

 

[kguillou]

Sigh...that's very disappointing, that would've been the perfect opportunity to announce it. I'm positive that they're in negotiations with FOX right now though. This was a big hit for the them this summer.

 

[Donut]

If 24 ends on that ending then that ruins this almost perfect season

 

[antsman41]

No it doesn't. I like the fact that jack willingly knows he's at a dead end; has lost all he can lose and has saved all he can save. He smirked because he's justified in his torture and execution because they why he is there was for the greater good of season 8.

 

[Donut]

No it doesn't

For me it does

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

too much speculation as to whether Jack will be back for a tenth season and too many ready to write Jack off before we're hearing anything definite from the PTB of 24... we're all just gonna have to nut up and tough it out for the next few months probably until we hear any further news of a tenth season... I'm sure we'll hear something one way or another before the year is up... let's just hope it'll be a green light and be thankful we had a great season after a four year layoff... I'm pretty confident Jack will be back... Keifer seems to genuinely love the character of Jack and playing the role...

Sorry if already posted but a 24 actress from Season 2 has passed away...

She played Meghan Matheson and she died at 21, I think.

Aw man, that's so sad. I had read about her earlier in the week as the little girl who was Mel Gibson's mute daughter in The Patriot. I had no idea she was the same girl who played Meghan. She was a good little actress. Complications from an epileptic seizure apparently too, which just...sucks. Waaaay too young. RIP.

[Ramsay Snow]

Yesh, she was.

Looks like we can cross Freddie Prinze Jr. from ever coming back to 24 after his comments about Kiefer:

Not gonna lie, this part made me laugh so hard:

“But, at least he was cool and tall. I didn’t have to take my shoes off to do scenes with him, which they made me do. Just put the guy on an apple box or don’t hire me next time. You know I’m 6 feet and he’s 5’4.”

Freddie Prinze Jr.: 'Unprofessional' Kiefer Sutherland Almost Made Me Quit Acting

By Kelly Woo 2 hours ago Yahoo TV

Kiefer Sutherland and Freddie Prinze Jr. on '24: Day 8' (Fox/Everett Collection)

​

Most of the time, actors gush about each other, so it's rare to hear one slamming another, especially to the media. But that’s what happened this weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, when Freddie Prinze Jr. openly dissed former 24 co-star Kiefer Sutherland. Prinze, who was promoting his animated series Star Wars Rebels, told ABC News that Sutherland was such a nightmare to work with that he "just wanted to quit the business after that."
Prinze grew up in the industry (his father was an actor) and started acting right out of high school. He became a teen heartthrob thanks to I Know What You Did Last Summer and She's All That before growing into heavier roles, like on 24. Little did he know that what seemed like a plum, high-profile job would go so sour.
"I did 24, it was terrible. I hated every moment of it," Prinze said. "Kiefer was the most unprofessional dude in the world. That's not me talking trash, I'd say it to his face, I think everyone that's worked with him has said that."

Well, not everyone has said it publicly, but there have been rumblings about Sutherland's difficult behavior on set. Oscar nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo, who joined the cast in Season 4, believes her character was killed off unexpectedly because she clashed with Sutherland. "I'm afraid working with him proved to be hard. That young man was pretty angry," she told Fox & Friends.
Prinze’s problems with him apparently stemmed, in some part, from their height difference. After 24, he worked as a producer and director for WWE’s Vince McMahon.
"At least he was cool and tall. I didn't have to take my shoes off to do scenes with him, which they made me do," Prinze said. "Just put the guy on an apple box or don't hire me next time. You know I'm 6 feet and he's 5'4."
Yahoo TV reached out to Sutherland's reps for comment, but have yet to get a response. (Also, according to most reports, Sutherland is described as 5-foot-9.)
Not all of Sutherland’s co-stars think he’s difficult. On The Late Late Show in 2002, Elisha Cuthbert (who played Jack Bauer’s daughter on 24) said the actor was serious, but professional. And young David Mazouz, who played Sutherland’s son on Touch, raved about how “patient and kind” he was.

But it’s very telling to hear what Mary Lynn Rajskub, who starred as Chloe O'Brian on 24 for seven years, has said about the actor. On Marc Maron’s podcast, the actress was diplomatic, but gave indications that his reputation might be true. "Kiefer and I like each other; I would go so far as to say we love each other in that respect," she said. But then, she added that they'd never really developed a personal relationship — despite working together for seven years (plus the time from 24: Live Another Day).
Much of the cast and crew became like a family, she noted, "But we never fully hung out or fully had a conversation the entire time."

Update: some responses from people involved in the production.
24‘s dialogue consultant Marci Michelle (and close friend of Kiefer) called Freddie a “jackass” on Twitter and said “Ahhh, love it when actors are promoting a new gig by bashing their last gig. Pathetic.”
Scott Meslow tweeted “I PAed on 24, and Kiefer Sutherland was a hell of a lot more professional than Freddie Prinze Jr.” and followed it up with “It’s less a legitimate gripe and more a basic misunderstanding about how leading actors are shot in pretty much everything.”

Dammmmmmmmmm!!!!! t:

 

[runawayboulder]

Kiefer is a d**k in real life.....? Shocking

 

[Jaspertian1105]

Well thats a weird statement after so many years. Kifer seems really nice in his interviews, he had a rough party past but i don't think he is unprofessional. You dont keep up a series like that if you don't do your job correctly.

Not all actors have to be family and get along, at the end of the day its a job and *****ing so many years later doesn't make much sense.

Maybe Sutherland is hard to work with but he does his job and most of his fellow companions don't make the same complains. I for sure wouldn't want to be in Jack Bauers bad side. If FPjr is smart, he should apologize quickly

 

[Golgo-13]

Why would he need to apologize? If that was his experience with Keifer, then that was his experience. Sometimes two people just butt heads. It's life.

 

[Jaspertian1105]

Apologize for hes own safety. I don't Kiefer is the nicest guy around , he has punched people in the face for less before

 

[Matt]

It seems like Prinze's gripe is that he was in a supporting role and had to take his shoes off, which according to that article, is the standard practice in Hollywood. Seems like Prinze is just ******** over something small. At any rate, it is unfortunate that Prinze didn't quit the business, considering he can't act for ****.

 

[runawayboulder]

He was magnificent in She's All That you heartless bastard

 

[kvz5]

She's Buffy's husband. That, by default, makes me like him.

Kiefer's rep and Fox released a statement:

“Kiefer worked with Freddie Prinze, Jr. more than 5 years ago, and this is the first he has heard of Freddie‘s grievances,” a rep for the actor said in a statement. “Kiefer enjoyed working with Freddie and wishes him the best.”

An unnamed Fox official spoke to TMZ about the claims, saying Kiefer was “nothing but professional during the run of the show and is beloved by cast and crew.”

“It’s so out of left field, 5 years later. We wouldn’t have done another 24 if Kiefer were anything like Freddie described,” the Fox exec added.
