According to David Fury on Twitter, Manny Coto and Evan Katz are also part of the writing staff. They really do seem to be rounding up the old gang.

Also, Jon Cassar officially!

I hope they make a quality show. I liked Season 7 kinda and Season 8 too was good but I feel that the first parts were the best. I adored the first 2 seasons and loved Seasons 1-5 overall.

Jack needs to be involved in a lot of action, even though he's getting old. I didn't like it when he was on the sidelines at the end of Season 7 - even though he was sick and stuff. They need to find a way for him to get involved more in the action without it feeling silly.

More than that. This new series needs to show jack as a changed man. It will have been 4 years since the events of season 8 and I think this is a great oppurtunity to show a new jack bauer. One who is still badass but who isnt as cold hearted and robotic as he ended up by the end of the last series. I'd like to see him as more of an avenger of the people rather than the Punisher.

 

[Ramsay Snow]

Yeah. A true Superman.

David Fury @TheDavidFury For all those who keep asking: #24LiveAnotherDay writers start on Monday. I'm gonna pitch "6:30-7:30" as our first episode. WIsh me luck!
7:06 PM - 27 Jun 2013

Confirmed writers are Howard Gordon, David Fury, Evan Katz, Manny Coto, and series co-creator Robert Cochran. Showrunner Howard Gordon has said that other former 24 writers like Chip Johannessen “can come in and pinch-hit” if needed.

 

[Ramsay Snow]

Awesome! So exciting.

I'm curious about this. I like this miniseries idea better than going the movie route.

Though I was a little tired with 24 after Season 8, with my interest waning rapidly during Season 6, I do kind of miss it. There really hasn't been as hard hitting a network TV action show on since. (Arrow and Nikita aren't bad in the action department but I don't think either of them have the cinematography of 24).

 

[kguillou]

I feel the same way, darkush. I'm very curious to see what the writers have up their sleeves to switch up the formula. I really hope they dont resort to their old tricks, im tired of seeing moles in ctu. Lets start fresh. A 4 year time gap is the perfect opportunity.

24 co-creator Robert Cochran returning for 24: Live Another Day

Add Bob Cochran to the list of high-profile 24 co-creators returning to the Fox franchise’s upcoming event-series reboot. The Emmy Award-winning executive producer/showrunner Cochran will serve as executive producer of 24: Live Another Day. Cochran, whose credits also include co-creating the La Femme Nikita television series, most recently wrote the Starz pilot Pinkerton, based on the famous 19th century detective, Alan Pinkerton. He is repped by APA. Fox in May announced Kiefer Sutherland has closed a deal for the event series at its upfront presentation in New York City. The continuation was pitched to Fox by longtime 24 showrunner Howard Gordon (now executive producer of Showtime’s Homeland). His 20th Century Fox TV-based Teakwood Lane is co-producing with original series producers Imagine TV and 20th TV. It’s one of two event series the network unveiled at its upfront confab — the other being M. Night Shyamalan’s Wayward Pines starring Matt Dillon.

Seems like just about all the old producers/writers are coming back. Hopefully they'll bring in some new ideas with some younger writers as well.

If this proves successful, I wonder if FOX might consider doing something similar with The X-Files, if the cast and crew would be up for it. No long-term engagements, no 22 episodes a year. Just 12 episodes of story with potential for more, should they be interested.

That could give us proper closer to the 2012 invasion, don't think a sequel will be happening but 10-12 episodes over a summer would be great.

That's a talented writers room to lure back who could see the appeal of returning to franchise and giving the show a stronger ending.

24 basically made the serial main stream and changed the way people watch TV in the 21st century. If this is successful, 24 could reinvent TV again. Imagine a world where your favorites, long off the air, can come back for a second lease on life. It is basically a modern day reunion show, only instead of corny, a legit way to followup and provide the viewer with another look into the lives of their favorite characters while also adding a new level of closure. This could become the norm.

So, I'm on vacation, and I have never really sat down and watched 24 before. I mean, it was on TV, but it was just background noise, and I never really watched it enough to know whats going on.

So, I completed season 2. Very well written show, and it's amazing that there weren't more acting nods for this show (Dennis Hasbert was sensational in this show, particularly the moment when he finds out his wife leaked to the press that he was alive and he threw that vase at her, damn good acting) The character Tony was also awesome. Complex in how he wants to do good by the law and conflicted to bending protocol to achieve results. Sherri Palmer, hate her, but damn is she a good character. You just wish someone would have had it with her BS and punch her in the nose. And then there is Jack Bauer. I have to say, that one on one fight he had near the end of season 2 at the baseball field was some great choreagraphy. The only real disdain I have on this show would be the kid, Kim. I just have to roll my eyes when she's on screen because I just know it will be another scene in which she either messes up, or distracts somebody causing them to mess up. Please someone tell me, does her character get any sort of integrity later on, or is she always the damsel in distress? I mean, did she really need to call her dad for him to tell her to shoot some dangerous, murderous psycho is coming after her?

My only fear of this is if a network decides to bring back a show that had a proper closure, they screw everything up and completely ignore the show's series finale. 24's finale left the door open and now they're stepping in. I thought Entourage's series finale was decent and now they're getting a feature film. I love the idea of bringing back a show for a limited time/movie, but I think they need to be careful for what shows they do it to.

Just stay tuned for Season 3 to see what happens to Sherry Palmer.

Kim eventually does in Season 3. She's not in Season 4 due to a storyline from the end of Season 3. She returns in Season 5 but only briefly. Season 7 has her only briefly but is integral in the final episodes. In Season 8, she only appears for a couple episodes but is the main one pushing Jack into intervening in that season's crisis.

I hope the cinematography is of the same level of quality because that's one of the things I loved about the shpw.

They used the same cinematographer throughout the series run so it's pretty consistent.

 

[Ramsay Snow]

Well, I hope he comes back, then. I loved all the shots and angles, not only in the action scenes but the dialogue scenes too. I never noticed stuff like this but my friend told me and now I really appreciate it.

Haven't been following this at all but has Mary Lynn Rajskub been confirmed yet? She has to come back surely?

It is already starting.

Arrested Development came back and Veronica Mars is getting a movie (with the potential for more).

Big 24 addict. I've seen every season 3-4 times. I'm not sure how this will work though. Pretty much everyone other than Jack, Chloe, Kim, Novick, Pierce and Tony are dead. Or could this be a prequel to 24? Like maybe about Operation Nightfall? I've always wanted a short movie on Operation Nightfall with Palmer, Novick, Tony, Nina, Logan, Bill ,etc. The actor that played Drazen (Dennis Hopper) died a couple of years ago though.

I have always felt that Jack Bauer was a more interesting character when he was more Batman than Superman. Sadly I think Jack turned more and more into Superman from season 4 onwards. Get tortured for 2 years, can't talk and then 20 minutes later he's back to his normal self. The Dark Knight Rises also was VERY 24. It seemed to be more 24 than Batman to be honest. Nuclear weapon, torture, etc.
