More Info?

2013.05.14: Okay, well there's a little more info this morning, including a title "24: Live Another Day" (not too sure how I feel about that one). It sounds like the show will return for a Summer series in May 2014 and there have been indicators that it could be the first of a possible franchise opportunity. It sounds a lot like the ideas they had for the movie.

Show will still run a 'day', but with a 12 hour limit, there will be hours skipped or condensed. It will still represent a 24 hour period.
Kiefer is (obviously) on board. Here's his statement:
“The response to ‘24' is unlike anything I have ever experienced as an actor before. To have the chance to reunite with the character, Jack Bauer, is like finding a lost friend. The story ideas from Howard Gordon are exciting and fresh, and will not disappoint ... Make no mistake, my goal is to knock your socks off. See you soon.”
Hearing now that Howard Gordon is getting the credit for the idea to do this and he is "really energized for it."
HoGo's statement: “Jack Bauer has always been an exciting, thrilling character, and I confess that I've missed him. I think the audience has too. The character has evolved through the years, and this new and exciting event series format is perfect to tell the next chapter of his story and continue to reflect how the world is changing. Fans can rest assured that the Jack they know and love will be back.”
In an interesting side note, reading between the lines, Kevin Reilly [Fox prez] said about the movie: "I think they [speaking about Howard Gordeon] all agreed that '24' compressed into two hours is not 24." Coud that be insight on why it never got off the ground? Hmm...

IT'S OFFICIAL

2013.05.13: Hearing today that Fox has CONFIRMED 24 for a 12 episode run starting this fall (source). :) Dance of victory anyone? Welcome back!!

HOLY HELL

2013.05.12: That's the best title I could come up with. Holy. Hell. (Pardon the language)

24 might return.

Let me say that again.

24 might return.

Holy hell that feels good.

Okay, are we ready? So I was out minding my own business on Thursday night at a concert when, while we were waiting for the group to come on stage, a tweet came across my feed from Elisha Cuthbert:

Elisha Cuthbert ? @ HappyElishas 9 May

' 24 ' Eyes Return As Limited Series On Fox , Howard Gordon To EP, Kiefer Sutherland In Talks To Star http://www. deadline.com/2013/05/24-eye s-return-as-limited-series-on-fox-kiefer-sutherland-in-talks/ … via @ nikkifinke

Um, wow.

Since then there have been many 24-ers chirping in having their say and being pretty much positive about it. I've been trying to get an answer out of Jon Cassar if he has been contacted regarding directing the show.

Word on the street is the idea came from either David Fury (@TheDavidFury) or Howard Gordon (@HowardMGordon - Don't bother he hardly uses Twitter) after the movie went ass up. The mini-series would have 12 episodes and is currently 'in negotiations'. David Fury confirmed this morning that there is "...still lots of negotiating to do with certain parties" (via Twitter) and when asked to speculate on the tone, he would only say "They're still going. That's all I know at this point." Fox, however, is making some show announcements tomorrow so I think at this point if we heard that it was a go tomorrow, that would be somewhat miraculous.

In another very informative tweet on the subject, Jon Cassar tweeted simply '24' this morning, leading legions of fans to think that maybe he was going to elaborate... apparently not. Fine. :)

Anyway, as I hear more updates, I'll fill you in.

If you're looking for some good TV to watch to tide you over, if you're not watching Howard Gordon's new series, Homeland, you should be. Also, another great cop drama that recently came to a conclusion was Flashpoint. Beautiful show that chose to go out on it's own terms. The characters are so human and rich.

In the mean time, follow Kiefer on twitter here.
