Eine gute Nachricht für die zuletzt doch ziemlich unter Beschuss geratene Serie:
'24's' number up through 2009
Was haltet ihr davon?
Gerade vor dem Hintergrund das 24 mittlerweile doch die eine oder andere Verschleißerscheinung zeigt?
Ich habe nichts dagegen nach der eigentlich schon sicheren 7. Season noch eine dran zu hängen. Solange man nur eines macht: Neues bringen.
Das alte Konzept mit Terroranschlag in LA ist ausgelutscht. Die markierten Textstellen stimmen mich da aber optimistisch.
Frag sich nur wann dann der Film kommen soll...
'24's' number up through 2009
With the countdown clock ticking till Fox's Thursday upfront presentation, the network has picked up real-time drama "24" for two more seasons.
The unusually late renewal for the Emmy-winning "24," from Real Time Prods., Imagine TV and 20th Century Fox TV, will keep Jack Bauer saving the day through the 2008-09 season.
Series star Kiefer Sutherland already is locked to stay with the show through May 2009 under a three-year, eight-figure deal Sutherland inked last year with 20th TV (HR 4/10/2006).
"We're re-creating the series," executive producer/showrunner Howard Gordon said. "It is going to be a real-time thriller. Beyond that, it's an open book."
[...]
As for "24," the series has had a roller-coaster ride the past couple of seasons.
It earned rave reviews for Season 5, which was capped by five Emmys last year, including best drama series and a best actor trophy for Sutherland.
But during its current sixth season, "24" has drawn criticism from fans about losing some of its creative footing.
Gordon said he felt those assessments were "unfair." "On balance, it was a very successful season," he said.
The upcoming re-invention of the series was something the producers have talked about for a while, Gordon said.
Aside from Sutherland, "24" will return with a new cast (some old favorites might return in different roles) and a new, non-Los Angeles location, with the producers even contemplating telling the story from two locations.
Created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran, "24" is exec produced by Surnow, Cochran, Gordon, Evan Katz, Jon Cassar, Sutherland and Brian Grazer.
