Eighth season confirmed

December 1st, 2009

That’s at least what Kiefer Sutherland says, when asked about the future of the hit action series. Fox has no official announcement yet, but you can expect some official news soon, now that the lead actor has broken the ice.

Kiefer has been successful in his portrayal of the grim and dedicated agent Jack Bauer and was awarded with the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series award in 2006 at the Emmys.

In tandem with the news that 24 producer and director John Cassar will be leaving the show after he and FOX executives did not agree on the terms of a new contract for the upcoming season, we do not know how to take the news. We can only hope that 24 will continue to deliver fast paced intelligent drama and action in the coming 8th season.

Time for 24 Trivia !

October 29th, 2009

Yep, we just can’t wait for the next Season and so we don’t go nuts, how’s about some trivia from the show. In Season 4 Episode 5, Debbie’s cellphone rang and came up with a valid number which was actually deliberate and set-up as a prop phone but was turned into a fan phone when they got 80,000 calls in the first week of the phone being shown. Of all the cast, only Agent Aaron Pierce is the only character to have appeared on all 6 seasons of the show from all the cast that have taken part in the series. All of the actors are also not told as to what will happen in the next episode till it begins its shoot so as people do not get what’s going to happen next.
These people are truly professional and have unwavering support for the show, much so that each and every cast member is required(per their contracts) to get a haircut every 5 days. The series is also shot as much as possible at eye level to present true realism of having the viewer in the scene(why not do it in 3D……hmm).

24 is officially taking time off. Fox confirmed what everyone was thinking. And won’t be back for almost one year. Time is of the essence and Jack bauer knows that more anybody does. The seventh season of the show was slotted to begin last January of this year and continually run without a break, unfortunately in November 2007, the writers strike complicated things and forced Fox to further postpone the season’s premiere at an unspecified time. Ultimately, Fox decided not to continue the season and instead re schedule it for January 2009. The crew has shot around 8 episodes for the season. But it was a move by Fox to ensure the famous series runs uninterrupted hopefully by next year.

2008年1月13日放映開始予定だったシーズン7が翌年の1月まで延期されてしまった。熱烈なファンたちは翌年が待ち遠しくてならない。今度のシーズンは何と言ってもチェリー・ボーンとパワーズ・ブースの対決が楽しみだよね。とにかく、ジョン・ヴォイトとロバート・カーライルも出演しているし、もちろんジャック・バウアー役はキーファー・サザーランドだ。前回のシーズンでは脚本とストーリーに満足できなかったため、熱心なプロデューサーと創意に富んだ脚本家はより一層魅力的な脚本を創ろうと磨きをかけている。このことがシーズン7の公開を遅らせたのだ。シーズン7にこれからの1年がかかってしまうので、残念な事にシーズン8も延期されることになる。シーズン8の放映は2010年と見込まれている。もっと情報が欲しい人のためにFox.comではシーズンの始まる数週間前からキャラクターのプロフィールを公開する。チェックしてみよう。

24の雑談タイム!

June 18th, 2009

次のシーズン がもう待ちきれなくてたまらない感じですが、番組のちょっとした雑談です。Season 4 のエピソード5で、デビーの携帯電話が鳴って、実際計画的に小道具電話としてセットされていたものなんですが、有効な電話番号にかかってしまって、その電話が出た最初の週に80,000の電話がかかってきてファン専用電話になっちゃった話。全出演者の中で、エージェントのアーロン・ピアースだけが、シリーズ出演者の中でも、番組の全6シーズンに出ている役柄です。俳優の誰も、次のエピソードで何が起こるか、撮影が始まるまで教えられません。次に起こることを人に知られたくないからです。
皆本物のプロで番組の揺るがぬ支持を受けているので、出演者は、(契約に基づき)全員5日ごとに髪を切らなければならないのです。また、このシリーズ は出来るだけ目線の高さで撮影して、シーンを見ている人たちにリアリティーを与えるようにしているのです(立体映像にしたら。。。と思ったりしますが)。
