Fox’s "24" is stopping the production clock for 18 days to allow writers to work on upcoming scripts.
Filming on the real-time drama will be shut down Sept. 15, after the completion of episode 18. It will resume Oct. 9.
The idea for the unscheduled hiatus came from "24" executive producer/showrunner Howard Gordon who had been concerned about the quality of several scripts for upcoming episodes of the 20th Century Fox TV-produced series.
The work stoppage won’t affect the launch of "24'"s seventh season slated for January.
The start of production on the seventh season was delayed a couple of times last summer while the plot line was being redrawn. Filming was then shut down after the eighth episode in early December for almost five months because of the writers strike, which led to Fox’s decision to hold back the entire season until 2009.
Since April, "24" has been in continuous production on the new season and the two-hour prequel, scheduled to air Nov. 24, which has been completed.

In his first series role in 40 years, Jon Voight has signed on for the upcoming seventh season of "24."
On the Emmy-winning Fox drama, Voight will play Jack Bauer's (Kiefer Sutherland) uber-nemesis who is pulling the strings behind next season's terrorist threat.
The character will be introduced during "24's" two-hour Season 7 prequel and will be featured heavily in the latter half of the season.
The prequel, now shooting on location in South Africa, is slated to air Nov. 23, with Season 7 of the Imagine TV/20th TV-produced series kicking off in January.
The tapping of Voight marks the first A-list villain casting on "24" since Season 1 when Dennis Hopper appeared in the final episodes as Serbian nationalist Victor Drazen. [...]

Fans have been waiting almost a year for the return of "24." On Sunday, November 23 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), the wait will be over as Fox presents a special two-hour prequel event.
Shot on location in South Africa, Jack Bauer battles an international crisis, while here at home the nation prepares for a new president on inauguration day. Taking place just a few months before the new day dawns, the prequel will set the stage and raise the stakes for Season 7.
"We're excited about the prequel because it explores Jack's complex emotional state of mind and still has all the signature excitement and suspense that fans have come to expect from '24,'" commented executive producer Howard Gordon. "Shooting in South Africa affirms everyone's commitment to making this season especially memorable for our fans."
Celebrating its 150th episode this season, the series has resumed production on "Day 7" and will unfold without interruption in its regular time period Mondays (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) beginning in January 2009. [...]

Fox's "24" will be returning in the fall, after all.
The producers of the Emmy-winning series are developing a two-hour "prequel" to the upcoming seventh season.
The movie, designed to bridge the two-year gap between Seasons 6 and 7, is targeted to air in the fall, leading to the January return of the real-time drama. On Wednesday, "24" producers began securing the show's core cast members for the film.
"24" was one of the biggest casualties of the writers strike. Three days into the work stoppage, Fox decided against airing a partial season of the serialized drama with the eight episodes produced before and during the first weeks of the strike.
Each season of "24" is a closed arc that takes place in real time over a 24-hour period. The upcoming seventh season is set in Washington and features the first female U.S. president, played by Cherry Jones.
At the end of the writers strike, there were rumblings about a possible split of the seventh season into two parts to air in the fall and in midseason. But Fox was quick to put those rumors to rest, reiterating that the show's scheduling pattern will remain intact with a January launch.
The "24" writing team is back at work, with filming on the remaining episodes of the seventh season slated to begin in April. Missing from the writers room is the series co-creator/executive producer Joel Surnow, who left at the end of the strike. Since the fifth season, "24" has been run by exec producer Howard Gordon.
Fox and 20th Century Fox TV, which produces the series with Imagine TV, declined comment Wednesday.

Cinematical sprach mit Elisha Cuthbert, u.a. über den geplanten "24"-Kinofilm...
RS: [...] What about the 24 movie? When is that gonna happen?
EC: Your guess is as good as mine. My whole theory is that I've got the phone waiting by the bed, and I'm just sort of waiting for it to ring and them to tell me 'hey, we're gonna go do the movie.' You know, that would be the ideal situation, but I think Kiefer is so busy getting these seasons done that it's almost impossible to get anything going. But we've been talking about it since the first season. I think it's on everyone's mind, but it's got to be good. Their standards are so high over there that if it happens it's gonna happen at the right time and have the right script and all the elements have to be in the right place, obviously.
RS: So is there actually a script? Is someone working on that?
EC: I don't think so, but I could be totally wrong, so you can't quote me on that. But they're so sneaky over there, I bet they've got all kinds of things on the go. [...]

Would Kimmy Bauer be back to [ruin] the day in a "24" movie?
Seems so. Well, if her on-screen father wants her.
Talking to MTV, former "24" regular Elisha Cuthbert - now spending most of her days just looking damn hot - revealed that she’d be keen to return as Kim Bauer, Jack’s daughter, for the forthcoming "24" movie . . . if she gets the call.
"Well, I heard it may happen after the show is done, if that even happens. But if it does [happen], and they want me, and Kiefer wants me, I would love to. Of course! I love the show."
Hmmm. After the show is done? Could’ve sworn they said they’d be doing it within the next couple of years - originally this year - and it’d serve as the ‘filler’ whilst the show is on hiatus.

Fox won't start the clock on that pic until next summer, when Sutherland completes the seventh season of the show.
Sutherland last year pacted to exec produce and star in the series through season eight, in a deal worth north of $40 million.
In "Mirrors," Sutherland will play an ex-cop who works security at a mall and discovers something awry in the mirrors of a department store. He tries to discover the origin of the evil. [...]

Die NZ berichtet über den "Tabubruch bei «24»"... SPOILER !!!
[...] Es waren weder seine einsamen Tränen noch die Waffe, die der berühmteste Antiterroragent dem US-Präsidenten vor die Nase hielt und auch nicht der Kollateralschaden, den Jack Bauer so gerne ignoriert. Nein, etwas anderes in der neuesten Staffel der erfolgreichen Realtime-TV-Serie «24» hat in den USA für Kritik gesorgt.
In der sechste Staffel lässt «24» nämlich die Bombe platzen, vor der die Welt seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zittert: Terroristen zünden auf amerikanischem Boden eine «kleinere» Atombombe, berichtet der «Drudge Report».
Doch der «24»-Sender meine das nur ganz im Sinne des Heimatschutzes, glaubt man dem Fox-Mitarbeiter, den die Klatsch-Website zitiert: Es sei an der «Zeit, das Land wach zu rütteln», denn die Möglichkeit eines solchen Angriffs bestehe. «So etwas hat es im Fernsehen bisher nicht gegeben.» [...]

AICN meldet...
The last time we heard about a Jack Bauer movie, the powers-that-be were talking about shooting it between seasons six and seven. There were even strong suggestions that it would be shot in Europe this spring.
But on CNN’s "Larry King Live" Tuesday night, King and show creator Robert Cochran were talking about about "a movie" rather than "the movie," and that "a movie" was more likely to get slapped together near the end of the series.
Given "24’s" huge ratings, huge critical acclaim and huge 2006 contract that locks Kiefer Sutherland into seasons seven and eight, "24" doesn’t seem likely to call it quits before mid-2009.

Kiefer Sutherland tells About.com that the "24" movie is coming together nicely - and no, it won’t mean the end of the series.
"It’s something that we really, really want to make", Sutherland tells the site. "The real key difference would be that the 24 hour film would be a 2-hour representation of a 24 hour day. It would be the first thing that we didn’t do in real time. Mainly, you have to understand, we’re making two episodes every three weeks. We would have three months to make a two hour [movie]. Just to have that kind of time to really allow our cinematographer and our director and the writers to focus on such a finite thing, and actually be able to do a film that really has a conclusion, I think would be really exciting not only for us to make but I think for an audience as well."
The movie won’t use the real-time format of the series, though. Sutherland doesn’t think audiences will much give a shit.
"Because I think after five years and specifically when we go to shoot it after six years, the characters have been even more defined. I think that the sensibility of the show is really entrenched. The audience that it would be going after really understands those characters and has a certain expectation, and we will do everything we can to meet that."
Though the movie won’t fit in with the TV show - i.e you’ll be able to watch the movie, and not necessarily have to be a fan of the show - plans are to do both concurrently.
"Everybody compares it to X-Files the movie, except with X-Files the movie, the show was done - or at least he was done with it - at that point. I actually believe that the film and the show can actually coexist and for quite some time. I think once that starts to happen, the dynamic between television and film will really change in a major way. [...]

She confirmed the previous comments that Kiefer Sutherland had made regarding a movie being made, and said that as far as she knew the movie should be filming next year, with parts shot in London.

The Brit newspaper The Sun, meanwhile, says the "24" movie will be shot in London, Prague and Moracco, suggesting that the movie will drop the TV show’s distinctive "real time" format. Which I guess is how a two-hour movie can get away with calling itself "24"! [...]

24 star Kiefer Sutherland has signed a deal to stay with the Fox show for three more years, through May 2009, reports Variety.
As part of the pact, Sutherland will establish a production company on the 20th Century Fox lot to produce series programming for both broadcast and cable networks.
The deal makes Sutherland one of the highest-paid drama actors on television.
Sutherland, currently co-executive producer on 24, will be bumped up to executive producer for the upcoming sixth and seven seasons of the show. He shares that title with creators Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran, as well as Howard Gordon and Evan Katz.
Finally, while the deal with Fox is for TV only, Sutherland said he and the show's producers continue to believe in the idea of bringing the 24 franchise to the big screen. The earliest the movie would begin shooting, however, is late spring 2007, Sutherland said.
Quality control is the chief reason a 24 feature couldn't shoot during the upcoming hiatus, Sutherland added.
"It was really Joel and Bob and Howard realizing that if we were going to squeeze it in during the break, we would have been rushing it," he said. "If we were going to do it, we would do it next summer. It's still a big 'if.' We would not go forward unless we thought we could do it right."
The film likely would depart from the series by condensing an entire day into about two hours, rather than unfolding in real time.
Sutherland isn't shooting a feature this hiatus in anticipation of working on a 24 film next summer.

According to Australia’s TV Week, that much-talked-about feature film version of "24" might be in theatre projectors sooner - rather than later.
The plan is to start work immediately on the film, and have it in theatres shortly after this season’s - season 5 - finale. A sixth season of the TV series would follow the film. That ol’ workdog, Kiefer Sutherland, is apparently locked and loaded and ready to go.
In other words, they’re taking a cue from "The X-Files", who released a feature film version of the series ("X-Files : Fight the Future") between seasons.
At the recent semi-annual Television Critics Association press tour, Sutherland said he believes the market is ready for the film version. "I think there's always a way to actually deal with an idea of 24 as a film that would completely be separate from 24 the television show. And by that I mean the characters could be different. They could be completely unrelated, and I think that that would still be effective".

Producers of Fox TV's "24" have begun plotting a film franchise for main character Jack Bauer reports Entertainment Weekly.
Actor Kiefer Sutherland is keen - "It can be an amazing series of movies. One of the things I've experienced making this show is that an audience can handle a lot more than we thought when we started -- the tension, the anxiety.... If we could [compress] all the energy we spread over 24 hours of programming and put that into 2, I think we'd knock your socks off".
Meanwhile TV Guide reports that Elisha Cuthbert has agreed to reprise her role as Kim Bauer in a multi-episode arc in the 7th-10th episodes of the upcoming fifth season of "24". Cuthbert didn't appear last season, her character off living with her husband Chase (James Badge Dale). The character of Chase will not be returning.

As 24's highly-anticipated premiere approaches, the cast is growing, with Julian Sands (A Room with a View), Peter Weller (RoboCop) and Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated actress JoBeth Williams (Poltergeist and The Big Chill) join the series for it's fifth heart-stopping season. 24 premieres with a four-hour, two-night event Sunday, Jan. 15 and Monday, Jan. 16 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. Additionally, the second hour on Monday, Jan. 16 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) will mark the series' 100th episode.
British born actor Julian Sands will play billionaire bad guy "Vladamir Bierko" while Peter Weller portrays "Christopher Henderson," the federal agent who recruited Jack to counter terrorist work more than a decade ago. JoBeth Williams is Henderson's wife, Miriam. All three characters will come face-to-face with Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) as he desperately attempts to prevent the series' most lethal terror threat yet on US soil.
Season five picks up 18 months after the exciting conclusion of season four, as national security is brutally breached. A presumed dead Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) is actually living a new life with Diane (Connie Britton) and her son Derek (Brady Corbet). A shaky President Logan (Gregory Itzin) is running the nation, while composed Bill Buchanan (James Morrison) commands CTU alongside key operatives Curtis Manning (Roger Cross), Edgar Stiles (Louis Lombardi) and Chloe O'Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub).

"We have talked about it. Our biggest problem right now is getting the writers to find enough time to write a screenplay", he tells Empire Online.
"There are certain inherent challenges in trying to make something in real time over a two-hour period that’s going to allow enough to be engaging. I certainly believe that they’re going to accomplish that, but I don’t think that’s going to happen - well, it might happen for next year - for next year’s hiatus.

A movie based on the Fox series 24 is in the works. But whether it will be shot in real-time is still up for consideration, says the show's Canadian director/producer Jon Cassar.
"The last I heard, the first hour will not be in real-time, but then something big will happen and real time will kick in. It still has to be worked out -- it's at a stage where they need to write it."
Cassar will not predict a storyline for the big screen version of the hugely popular show.
He says the script will likely depend on what's happening on the series prior to the movie coming out.
"It could still be two years from now, so it's far too early to say," he says, adding even if he did know, he wouldn't give it away.

Dass "24" als ultimative Fernsehserie der amerikanischen Gegenwart gilt, liegt nicht nur am Echtzeit-Prinzip und den Bezügen zum "Krieg gegen den Terrorismus". In der vierten Staffel wird nun deutlich, dass die Serie darüber hinaus als Allegorie der Arbeit verstanden werden kann. Die Arbeitswut Jack Bauers erweist sich als einzig verbliebenes Mittel gegen die Verunsicherung, die sich durch die Gesellschaft der USA seit dem 11. September 2001 zieht. Zudem spiegeln die flexibilisierten Abläufe in der "Counter Terrorist Unit" (CTU) ein Panorama neoliberaler Arbeitsverhältnisse wider.

Blick.ch berichtet über die kritischen Stimmen, die in den USA gegenüber der 4. Staffel wach werden: Der "Rat für amerikanisch-islamische Beziehungen" hat im Vorfeld der Ausstrahlung Promotionsmaterial zu Gesicht bekommen - und war darüber so entsetzt, dass er die "24"-Macher aufs Schärfste verurteilte... Besonders besorgt ist man über eine Szene, in der ein US-muslimischer Teenager plant, Amerikaner zu töten... Derweil sprach Stern.de mit Kiefer Sutherland...
[...] Mr. Sutherland, die Literatur-Nobelpreisträgerin Elfriede Jelinek sagte, "24" sei "wie permanentes Vögeln, ohne je zum Orgasmus zu kommen". Stimmen Sie ihr zu?
Na ja, ganz so drastisch würde ich das nicht ausdrücken, aber die Zuschauer kommen ganz schön ins Schwitzen. Vor allem, wenn man sich eine Staffel auf DVD anguckt: das ist wie ein Pferderennen ohne Werbeunterbrechungen, dadurch wird der Echtzeit-Effekt der Serie extrem verstärkt - großartig, die Spannung ist kaum auszuhalten. Ich habe von Leuten gehört, die "24" tatsächlich in einem Rutsch durchgesehen haben. Man wird für Stunden von der Story und dem Tempo förmlich aufgesogen - die Geschwindigkeit macht die Serie so interessant.
Und natürlich Jack Bauer, der Agent, den Sie verkörpern. Gegen ihn wirkt James Bond wie eine Schlaftablette.
Jack Bauer ist ein ganz normaler Typ in ungewöhnlichen Situationen. Er ist menschlich. Und in dieser Menschlichkeit stecken Aspekte, die sehr positiv sind, und welche, die ins Negative kippen. Es gibt Dinge, die er richtig macht und welche, die er falsch macht. Das wollten die Autoren zu einem tragenden Teil der Figur und damit der ganzen Serie machen. Das war ein interessanter Schritt fürs Fernsehen, denn da gab es in meinen Augen immer nur schwarz und weiß. Der Versuch, die Figur Jack Bauer ein bisschen düsterer zu gestalten, hat mich deshalb auch sehr gereizt.
In Deutschland läuft am Mittwoch die dritte Staffel von "24" an. Welche ist Ihr Favorit?
Eigentlich habe ich die Arbeit an jeder Staffel genossen. Wir sind gerade noch mit der vierten zugange, die am kommenden Sonntag in Amerika Premiere haben wird. Ich hoffe immer, dass die nächste die Beste wird. Unser Ziel ist es ja, jede Staffel auf der vorherigen aufzubauen - so, the best is yet to come!
Kommt es vor, dass Ihre innere Uhr beim Dreh dieser Echtzeit-Serie etwas durcheinander gerät?
Durchaus. Die erste Staffel begann zum Beispiel um Mitternacht. Das Schwierige beim Außendreh war, dass die finalen Stunden, die Folgen 22 bis 24, während der längsten Sonnentage in Los Angeles entstanden sind. Wir mussten die Außenszenen also zwischen zehn Uhr abends und vier Uhr morgens drehen, damit wir die benötigte Dunkelheit hatten für das Echtzeit-Gefühl. Das war für alle hart. Unsere innere Uhr tickte für Wochen völlig falsch, die Crew hatte heftig damit zu kämpfen. [...]

Trotzdem sahen im Durchschnitt rund 1,6 Millionen Zuschauer Jack Bauer zu, wie er seine 24 Stunden überstand, ohne zu essen oder aufs Klo zu gehen. Nach Zahlen des Senders verschaffte «24» RTLII überdurchschnittliche 8,6 Prozent Marktanteil unter den 14- bis 49-Jährigen.
