Season 6 premiere review

“If magazine” keep on sending me links to their ’24’ related articles so I thought it was time I linked to one. This is a quite good review of the first two hours of season 6, the episodes which will air on sunday. Goes without saying then that there are spoilers for the first two episodes in the article, so only read if you don’t care about spoilers, otherwise wait until you’ve seen them.

24: The Movie Postponed

24 cast and crew where on Larry King last night, and co-creator Robert Cochran stated that the movie filming in the 3 month hiatus between days 6 and 7 for a late 2007 release is now unlikely. With a tight schedule being most likely to blame.

Cochran made the suggestion that a film version would most likely have to wait until the TV show had finished, which if reports regarding Kiefer’s last contract are accurate could be as late as summer 2009 after a potential eighth day has been filmed.

This news will come as a big disappointment for fans, as all previous reports had the film progressing well, with some quoting Kiefer as having said the screenplay had been finished, and with Cochran and Surnow ready to take time away from the show to start prep for the film.

Man of the hour

Kiefer’s really been doing his part to promote the new series lately, there are new interviews with him everywhere. Instead posting every single one I can find, i’m just going to post one that’s one entertainment weekly. As it’s one of the most in-depth, up to date, as well as not having as many of the PR sound bites for answers. The most shocking news is that it was three years before it clicked he probably need to record new “the following takes place between” segments for every new episode.

24 still tops

“24, which returns Jan. 14, is taking audacious chances in its sixth season. With a new toughness and topicality, this Emmy-winning drama is forcing viewers to think about the war on terrorism. Star Kiefer Sutherland (pictured) seizes new acting challenges; he plays Jack Bauer as worn out and demoralized. This series has always been rousing entertainment, but now 24 is trying for something deeper, and succeeding. In a way comparable to “Casino Royale” overhauling the James Bond franchise, 24 has reinvented itself. That is what great television series do.”

Online Reaction to First Trailer

“Well, the good people at the Fox Network are doing their best to get loyal 24 fans into a tizzy. I hope they don’t think we’d forget all about the show because we have to wade through those pesky new fall programs that are NOT graced with all things Bauer? Jeez Louise, Fox – you’ve got to know that we all have those calendars, patiently marking down the days until January 14, 2007 8:00 PM ET. Instead of big red Xs, we’re using thumbnail photos of President Logan, a circle with a line through it superimposed over his scowling visage.So, though fans need absolutely no reminding, … Part of the fun of waiting for anything is to kibitz, commiserate and speculate on possible plot lines. Well, today, October 24, Fox is launching a sneaky peeky 24 trailer to tease us with glimpses of Season Six. They are also broadcasting it on the News Corporation’s Panasonic Astrovision screen in New York City’s Times Square. News Corporation is the Fox network’s parent company.

Wow, six years already? Could 24 be headed toward the category of long running shows such as The Simpsons, Seventh Heaven, Cheers, and ER? We’d love to see our crew be around for a long time, yet they only seem to thrive on disaster. That can’t be too good for their collective blood pressure or morale in general. And you know the general mood and characters are a bit too somber for real life.”

“At the end of 24’s fifth season, Bauer was taken hostage by Chinese agents and spirited away into the hold of a cargo ship bound for China. The trailer promises to give a glimpse into what will become of the tough guy at the hands of his captors.

In August, 24 won three Emmys–Best Drama, Best Actor, and Best Directing. 24 returns Sunday, January 14, with a two-night, four-hour season premiere.”
