Kiefer Sutherland Talks TOUCH and the Very Difficult Task of a 24 Movie

Kiefer Sutherland Talks Touch and the "Very Difficult Task" of a 24 Movie

Today 10:01 AM PST by JENNA MULLINS

Nobody panic: Jack Bauer is back! Well, Kiefer Sutherland is back...on TV. We'll have to wait a little bit longer for Bauer to save the world again, in the form of a 24 movie.

We talked with Sutherland at Fox's TCA Winners Walk, where he told us why Touch was the show to bring him back to the tube, and when fans can expect that big ol' 24 clock on the big screen…

"We're planning on starting the very end of April, the beginning of May," he reveals to us about the movie adaptation of 24. Hopefully it'll be all systems go by then, because even Sutherland has some qualms about transferring Jack Bauer to the big screen. "I believe very strongly—and I apologize, it's a very difficult task to take what we would do in a season, which would be 24 episodes, and try and condense it into two hours. And so it took us a little while to put that together, but I feel very strongly that we have ...I don't like to say anything is done until it's finished, but we should be starting in May."

Brian Bowen Smith/FOX

If Kiefer feels confident about it, that's good enough for us. Until May, we get to watch him save the world again in his new drama on Fox, Touch, a role so exciting, Kiefer couldn't say no to it.

"[The show] is based on a Chinese fable called The Red Thread, and in essence it means that all the people that were supposed to come in contact with each other over the course of a lifetime are connected loosely by a red thread around the ankle, and that thread can stretch and it can bend but it can't break," he tells us while we hang on every word. "And somehow in the last hundred years between the Industrial Revolution and the Technological Revolution, we've broken it. And my son is much more highly evolved than I am and can see where it is broken through math and through patterns, and he uses me as his father to try and put all of the pieces back together."

Très intriguing, no? Check out our full interview with Kiefer above, and you can catch a special preview event of Touch on Wednesday, Jan. 25 on Fox.

Are you excited for Kiefer's new show? And do you think 24 could or should be made into a movie?

Touch Review from The Wall Street Journal with Kiefer Sutherland

TOUCH Review from The Wall Street Journal
By DOROTHY RABINOWITZ

FOX

Kiefer Sutherland and David Mazouz in 'Touch

"Touch" is the kind of series better seen than described. Particularly when one of the chief describers, show creator Tim Kring ("Heroes"), puts out descriptions like the one that came with the review DVD, announcing that this work represents his fascination with "the theme of interconnectivity and global consciousness" and the attempt to put a positive message out into the world that we are more connected to each other than we ever knew.

Touch

Preview episode Wednesday,
Jan. 25 at 9 p.m. on Fox

Blood-freezing stuff. It's a relief to report that the aforementioned claptrap bears no resemblance to the high quality and tone of "Touch," whose preview episode shows every sign of a series likely to hold audiences in thrall. That's in part because of its complex story, and in part despite it.

But above all because of Kiefer Sutherland. He's the clarifying force that brings all the disparate aspects of this complicated storytelling together—that informs the whole mess with his wonderfully earthbound presence. No small feat. Mr. Sutherland plays Martin Bohm, widower and father of 10-year-old Jake (David Mazouz), an autistic child incapable of speech. Not, however, an ordinary autistic child, but one with the special power to perceive, through numbers, patterns in the world whose analysis will allow people on the far corners of the earth to make vital connections. In the preview episode (the series begins in March) the connections include a boy in Baghdad desperate to get money for a new family stove, a British man in search of vital personal material on his cellphone, the winner of a lottery in New York, and more. Still, it's Mr. Sutherland's portrayal of the father—unyielding in his effort to break through to his mute child and grasp what he's trying to say with his numbers—that is the heart of this story, the power likely to sustain this promising enterprise.

A Lot Going On Behind the Eyes

Kiefer Sutherland, left, and David Mazouz in "Touch,"

having its premiere on Fox on Jan. 25.

By NEIL GENZLINGER

Published: January 11, 2012

WHEN, exactly, did Kiefer Sutherland gain access to my head?

Mr. Sutherland is returning to television this month in a Fox drama called “Touch” in which he plays the father of a 10-year-old boy who has never spoken and doesn’t communicate in any traditional way. That’s a world I know something about, since I too have such a child.

It’s a frustrating, anguishing place to live, full of challenges and conflicting emotions that are difficult to convey to an outsider. Yet in the “Touch” pilot, which will be broadcast Jan. 25, Mr. Sutherland and his young co-star, David Mazouz, did a pretty good job of convincing me that they know something about it too.

“Touch” was created by Tim Kring, whose previous shows include the much-loved “Heroes,” about ordinary people who discover they have superpowers. That lineage is clear in “Touch” because the mute boy, Jake, has a superpower of sorts: He has a relentless fascination with numbers and finds patterns that, if deciphered properly by his father, lead to connections among disparate people all over the globe. The pilot involves a British man’s lost cellphone, a broken oven in Baghdad, a lottery jackpot in New York, a sex worker in Tokyo and more.

Mr. Kring said that finding the right actor to play Jake wasn’t easy; the role requires an ability to affect the blank, isolated look often seen in autistic children, yet also to suggest there is a lot going on behind the eyes.

“David is an extraordinary child,” Mr. Kring said. “He is extremely focused, and you can see the internal life in him. He’s also very still. Most kids we auditioned, you’d catch moments here and there between their general fidgetiness.”

The casting was made all the more difficult by the fact that Jake is silent to the other characters but not to viewers: his thoughts are heard in voice-over, and are fairly complex for a 10-year-old.

“Because we hear his internal voice, we have an understanding of just how intelligent he is, so we had to cast someone who fit that,” Mr. Kring said. “Some of the kids, they had wonderful-looking faces, but you just could not imagine the very bright kid inside.”

Mr. Sutherland said David was the first of about two dozen children he read with during auditions. “There was just something really natural between the two of us,” he said, something that wasn’t there with those who came after. “Around the 25th kid I was like, ‘Would you guys just hire the first kid, please?’ ”

What makes his co-star right for the part? “David does an amazing thing where he is completely physically disconnected from you, but I always felt I could feel him listening,” Mr. Sutherland said.

The role of Jake presented one sort of acting challenge, but Mr. Sutherland, of course, has a lot to convey as well. Raising a child like Jake — or like my own, who has a disability called Rett syndrome — requires letting go of a lot of traditional parental goals and peak experiences.

“There was a book that I got for Kiefer about parenting children with these kinds of disabilities,” Mr. Kring said. “I remember there was one chapter on something called chronic sorrow. Both Kiefer and I kind of focused on that.”

It’s a term coined in the 1960s by the sociologist Simon Olshansky to refer to the day-to-day grief parents of severely disabled children experience over the challenges they and their children face, the lost opportunities, the unforgiving future. Mr. Sutherland seems to find the essence of it in his character, Martin Bohm. This struggling father is a long way from Jack Bauer, the tough terrorism fighter of Mr. Sutherland’s best-known series, “24.” As Mr. Kring put it, when Martin is punched in the stomach in the pilot, “he reacts very much the way you or I would: he doubles over in pain.”

Being the parent of an uncommunicative child may entail sorrow, but it also requires not giving up on him, even if others do. The pilot introduces what Mr. Kring said would be a season-long struggle for Martin, a widower, to retain custody of the boy — institutionalization, for Martin, being something like throwing in the towel and acknowledging that there is no potential behind Jake’s intense gaze.

“Have you ever truly communicated with him?” a child services worker barks at Martin. “Does he even know who you are?” Maybe not, but a parent in Martin’s position constantly has to tell himself that those questions are irrelevant.

The problem with making a series about a family dealing with disability is not unlike the problem with making a medical drama or a police procedural: What actually goes on in these worlds doesn’t make very good television. Just as most real police work is drudgery, raising a child with a profound disability is mostly a daily slog in which simple things like feeding or bathing can take hours.

That’s why Mr. Kring and his team try to establish early on that, though Jake may look autistic, “Touch” is not about autism, and Jake’s condition is something else entirely.

“In the pilot we were pretty set on trying to state that as early as possible,” Mr. Kring said. “Clearly the autism community deserves to have champions out there, but by the same token we wanted to have the ability as storytellers to float above reality a little bit. There’s something special going on with this child, something metaphysical, almost supernatural.”

Carol Barbee, an executive producer of the show, added, “We also wanted to be sure not to be coming from a place of saying your autistic child is also a magical child.” To real-life parents that approach would be dismissive, like the old “special gift from God” line that well-meaning strangers often use because they don’t know what else to say.

In the premiere Martin finds his way to a cryptic fellow played by Danny Glover who tells him that Jake and others like him have psychic powers of sorts.

“Your son sees everything,” Mr. Glover’s character says. “The past, the present, the future. He sees how it’s all connected.” Then he adds, “It’s a road map, and your job now, your purpose, is to follow it for him.”

That paranormal-sounding assignment actually mimics the role that a parent of such a child assumes in real life. Though you try to provide tools that might let the child use language the way other people do — my daughter is currently working with a MyTobii, a keyboardless, mouseless computer that reads the gaze of her eyes in order to speak for her — you come to realize that the real task is to meet the child where she lives and decode what you can. For Martin, Mr. Sutherland said, that realization brings a breakthrough.

“That’s the first kind of real empowering moment that Martin has as a father,” he said. “One of the things that’s so fantastic in the first five episodes is you really see their ability to communicate take leaps and bounds.”

For Mr. Kring, Jake and his father are a means into a subject that has long interested him. “I’ve been really exploring this theme of interconnectivity between people,” he said. “With ‘Heroes’ I sort of buried the interconnectivity under the theme of superheroes. Here I wanted to put it front and center.”

Why make the linchpin a child without words? “How I arrived at him being mute was really just by trying to create a character who had this extraordinary gift but was possibly the most disenfranchised person on the planet.” Mr. Kring said. “If the theme was about interconnectivity, the microcosm of it was about a father who couldn’t really connect with his own son.”

The “haiku storytelling,” as Mr. Kring called it, will stretch all over the globe. Future episodes will include plotlines set in Russia, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Australia. “Anything that we can make Southern California look like,” Ms. Barbee said, “that’s where we’re going.”

Wherever it goes “Touch” seems as if it has a chance to do what many shows that use characters with disabilities don’t: go beyond the superficial and avoid easy, feel-good solutions. Jake’s disability may be a fantastical construct, but the communication challenges are real.

Kiefer Sutherland Says 24 Movie Will Be Like Going Home

2012-01-12T14:56:00.000-08:00

Hollywood Exclusive: Kiefer Sutherland Says '24' Movie Will Be 'Like Going Home'

By Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith

Jan 12, 2012

Kiefer Sutherland.

Kiefer Sutherland smiles when he talks about anticipating the late-April/early-May start of production on the big-screen "24" movie. "That's like going home," he says of getting back into Jack Bauer's skin.

It's been more than five years since the "24" team first set its sights on making a feature. Sutherland acknowledges, "That process has taken us so long; it's such a complicated script to write. Normally, we have 24 hours to tell a story. Trying to condense it into two hours involves a lot of hard choices: What kind of story do you want to tell? How political do you want to make it? How character-driven do you want to make it?"

Sutherland was in fine form at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour this week, talking about his Jan. 25-debuting Fox "Touch" series that has him as the father of a mute, possibly autistic boy who has an astonishing understanding of numbers and their correlation to the universe.

The star was also was among the notables on hand at Fox's party at the historic Castle Green Hotel in Pasadena, Calif., where he chatted away gamely and amiably even though a small group of reporters pretty much backed him into a small space behind a grand piano. He elaborated on some of what he talked about at the earlier press conference -- including the "24" film.

As far as the answers to all those questions about how political and/or character-driven the big screen "24" will be, he laughed and said, "You'll have to wait and see it." He said that several "great actors have expressed interest in (acting in) it, either as an ally or villain."

Sutherland also anticipates more big names will turn up on "Touch" -- which already boasts Danny Glover as a professor who has a handle on matters where quantum physics meets metaphysics. "Because it's a procedural drama as opposed to a serialized show, we could get someone in and out as quickly as an episode," noted Sutherland, who is also a producer on the series. "Or if someone was interested in being involved in a longer arc, I'm sure we could accommodate them."

Sutherland definitely made the most of his two years away from the TV cameras. Asked what the time meant to him, he said, "I got some rest. I got to think about other things I wanted to do. I got to do two films I was very excited about, with very different characters." Those are Mira Nair's upcoming "The Reluctant Fundamentalist," with Liev Schreiber and Kate Hudson, and Lars von Trier's "Melancholia," with Kirsten Dunst.

"And doing 'That Championship Season' on Broadway. I did those things and also had some time off and got some rest -- and realized that I missed working."

Kiefer Sutherland Branches Out from Jack Bauer with Emotional Role in TOUCH

2012-01-10T17:07:00.000-08:00

Sutherland Banches Out From Jack Bauer With 'Emotional' Role in Touch

BY ALEX STRACHAN, POSTMEDIA NEWS JANUARY 9, 2012

Actors David Mazouz (L) and Kiefer Sutherland speak onstage during the ' Touch' panel during the FOX Broadcasting Company portion of the 2012 Winter TCA Tour at The Langham Huntington Hotel and Spa on January 8, 2012 in Pasadena, California.

PASADENA, California — Kiefer Sutherland is no longer running around on TV with a gun and cellphone, saving the world from swarthy Middle Easterners, tin-pot dictators and right-wing conspirators. In the quiet, change-of-life drama Touch, Sutherland plays a single father trying to reconnect with his mute 11-year-old son.

The story is a concentric tale of hurt souls — a firefighter tormented by his inability to save a dying woman, a teenager desperate to help his ailing family, a talented singer whose songs have a mysterious healing ability — none of whom know each other, but are connected in some mysterious way.

Sutherland appeared visibly relaxed as he appeared before reporters Sunday, in a dark grey pullover, well-worn jeans and his trademark cowboy boots.

Sutherland quietly explained how he got a call out of the blue while performing That Championship Season on Broadway.

“The character was so vastly different, and the tone was so vastly different, that was part of its appeal. I just emotionally responded to what was on the page. The past thing I wanted, after doing 200 episodes of 24, was another TV series. But the moment I started reading this, I just went, ‘Shit.’ My character in 24 was always repressing himself; this character is all about having an emotional reaction in the moment. This character will grow, and that’s another thing that appealed to me.”

A sneak preview of Touch’s opening hour will air Jan. 25, on Fox and Global TV. The series’ official premiere is slated for March.

“I had to read it a second time to make sure that all the things that affected me affected me on a personal level, and it wasn’t just out of a need to manage my career and get away from Jack Bauer. Is it a nice diversion from 24? Yes. But I honestly feel it was something deeper in the material, in the story, that affected me.

“The one parallel I can see between the two characters is that they’re never going to have a perfect relationship with their children. That’s appealing to me, exploring the idea that something as intimate as a personal relationship can be preordained.”

Also, Sutherland added, with a wan smile, “In this show, I get to sit down.”

“I haven’t been very articulate about this,” Sutherland said, moments later, startling his audience. “It’s not about 24, or wanting to distance myself from 24. I see this show as a way of showing how we all get old, and how things change as we get older.

“In 24, Jack Bauer was always in the wrong place at the wrong time. In this show, there’s no such thing as the wrong time — it’s about how everything is interconnected. There’s something wonderfully comforting about thinking that everything has a purpose.”

TOUCH Gets to Kiefer Sutherland

2012-01-07T16:35:00.000-08:00

'Touch' gets to Kiefer Sutherland

The script for 'Touch' brought '24' star Kiefer Sutherland back to TV. The Fox show gets a sneak preview Jan. 25 after 'American Idol.'

January 8, 2012 By T. L. Stanley, Special to the Los Angeles Times

Kiefer Sutherland, right, and David Mazouz in "Touch." (Brian Bowen Smith, Fox / November 30, 2011

Kiefer Sutherland runs through a packed Grand Central Station, dodging bystanders and scanning the crowd for suspicious activity. The minutes fly by — seen in frequent close-ups of ticking clocks — drawing closer to a potentially explosive moment. Sutherland confronts a guy on a public phone, spins him around and starts punching.

Wait, is Jack Bauer back on TV?

He's not, but Sutherland is returning to the Fox network. Only his new drama, "Touch," owes more to feature films like "Crash" and "Short Cuts" than to his previous award-winning espionage series, "24." He just happens, in the first episode of "Touch," to be racing against time to unravel a mystery, an unintentional bone for "24" fans since it was written before Sutherland signed on.

The new drama, which will have a sneak preview Jan. 25 after "American Idol," centers on Sutherland's character, Martin Bohm, a former journalist and single dad to a special-needs 11-year-old boy.

The son, Jake, who's remote, combative and uncommunicative, may be autistic, but he exhibits savant-like qualities with gadgets and numbers. He can't bear to be touched, hence the series' title.

As it turns out, as revealed by an eccentric professor, played by series costar Danny Glover, Jake can detect patterns and relationships between seemingly disparate people and events. He might even be able to see the future.

It's up to Sutherland's Bohm to "follow the bread crumbs" and figure out the significance of the boy's mathematical clues, according to "Touch" creator and executive producer Tim Kring.

Kring, who also created NBC's former hit "Heroes," said he'd been thinking since shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks about writing a series that would blend some mystical and scientific elements. (There are several references to 9/11 in the pilot, including the reason Sutherland's character is a widower: His stockbroker wife died in the World Trade Center blast.)

At the core of "Touch" is a father and son tale, and layered on top are ideas of interconnectivity and serendipity, near misses and close calls, those moments of wondering, "If it hadn't been for this, what would've happened to that?"

"I've been dealing with this theme for a long time, in 'Heroes' and before that, 'Crossing Jordan,' of people's lives being connected in seemingly random ways that turn out not to be random at all," Kring said. "I wanted to elevate that theme to the forefront because I think people will automatically be able to relate to it."

The 13-episode series, formally premiering March 19 after "House," will tell stand-alone stories each week but weave an ongoing mythology for fans who want a deeper dive. One of the main story lines is Bohm's struggle to prove he's a competent father since Jake's outbursts and out-of-control behavior caused the state's child welfare agency to take him out of the home for evaluation.

Though it's grounded in real-world New York City, there will be borderline supernatural issues to ponder, Kring said, such as the possible existence of others just like Jake. And there will be some heart-pounding action for "24" junkies, but it'll be mixed with lower-adrenaline emotional stakes.

Bohm will be "a very real, very human character," who's devoted to his kid and stretched too thin, like many parents. Bohm, along with the actor who plays him, "has his own kind of heroism and strength," Kring said.

To Sutherland, who had been working in live theater, going back to a full-time TV series wasn't his priority. He didn't miss the demands of a weekly show, especially one like "24" where he appeared in nearly every scene, he said, but he was bowled over by the "Touch" script.

"I knew I had to do it because it hit me on a spiritual level," Sutherland said recently. "As it turns out, the workload is almost the same as '24.' 'Touch' isn't as physical but the emotional demands are much greater."

Though the show's based in Los Angeles and the production never leaves town, the show globe trots to carry the theme of diverse and interlocking connections. A misplaced cellphone in one country, for instance, skips around the world, eventually containing data and video evidence of where it's been and the people who've used it.

"That idea of connectivity, of breaking down the barriers of language, culture, religion, and showing that we all want the same things — it's imperative right now," Sutherland said. "It's something we may've lost track of, but the show reminds us."

’24′ Heating Up For Spring Start With Kiefer Sutherland In Jack Bauer Mode

By MIKE FLEMING | Monday December 5, 2011 @ 3:27pm EST

The clock has started on 24, the feature version of the Imagine Entertainment/Fox series. The project, which brings back Kiefer Sutherland’s tireless government operative Jack Bauer. Mark Bomback–a favorite writer at 20th Century Fox writingThe Wolverine and Shadow Divers–will turn in the latest script draft by year’s end. Imagine and the studio have about five directors in mind–no, Tony Scott is not attached anymore–and it will all begin happening very quickly in the early part of next year. The goal is to get the film into production to match Sutherland’s availability, which begins in April. That should give producer Brian Grazer something to do after he completes producing the Academy Awards and it is certainly good news for fans of the show who were beginning to fear the project wouldn’t happen.

Kiefer Sutherland Web Series THE CONFESSION Goes to Canada

By Jonathan Dekel

Kiefer Sutherland is jumping from the small screen to an even smaller screen with the web-based series The Confession.

The Canadian actor created and stars in the 10-part digital series, which will be available exclusively through digital mediums: online, tablets and mobile. Sutherland plays a hitman who goes to church on Christmas Eve to confess his sins to a priest, played by two-time Academy Award nominee John Hurt. As he confesses his past deadly deeds, shown through a series of flashbacks, the two men discover they are much more complex than either one could have expected.

The Confession debuted in March on the American website Hulu.com, where it was one of the Top 5 most-subscribed-to-series for nearly three months, according to Bell Media in a statement released Wednesday.

The digital-action series begins Monday, Dec. 5 at theconfession.ctv.ca with three back-to-back episodes, followed by two new episodes on subsequent Mondays. The full series will be available on CTV Mobile on Bell Mobile TV for smartphones and superphones beginning Dec. 12, and can be seen through The CTV iPad App starting Dec. 19.

Counting Down to Kiefer Sutherland's Touch: The 6 Ways It Could Remind You of 24!

Nov 3, 2011 09:28 PM ET

by Denise Martin

David Mazouz and Kiefer Sutherland

Still dissecting the trailer for Fox's Touch? Frustrated you can't start an actual countdown to the return of Kiefer Sutherlandbecause the show still doesn't have an airdate? You're not alone.

The upcoming drama from Heroes boss Tim Kring stars 24'sSutherland doing what he does best: making sure the world doesn't self-destruct. Standing in for Jack Bauer is Touch'sMartin Bohm, widower and father to a mute, severely autistic son, Jake. The problem? Jake harbors the uncanny ability to connect patterns and discover the meaning behind seemingly unrelated events happening all over the world.... In other words, he can predict when bad stuff is going to go down, among other things, and his dad Martin's the one who will have to deal. (Get ready for emotional Kiefer, world!)
Just for kicks — and because we still miss 24 — let's count the ways Touch, without meaning to, will continue its legacy, using the trailer as our guide:

Problematic kids: Sure, Kim Bauer got kidnapped. (Several times.) Sure, she dropped out of school to become an au pair, and later got caught in a cougar trap. But she could scream and call her dad for help. Martin's son Jake doesn't talk at all. So when Jake gets a hankering to climb cell towers (which look really tall in that trailer!) at 3:18 p.m. on a daily basis without communicating why... well, it would appear Kiefer's TV offspring are forever cursed.

"Dammit!": Sources say Martin will unleash one in the first episode of Touch. That's what these kids — and the fate of the world — will do to a guy.

Suicide bombers: Yes, seriously. There's one — a young one — in the pilot for Touch. Whether or not Martin is the guy to defuse the situation... but who else is going to, right?

Cell phones: From the looks of things, they'll command a starring role in Touch, handy for preventing disasters foreseen by Jake. With any luck, they'll be as good as Jack Bauer's supermobiles, which grabbed signals from the bowels of the deepest terrorist hangouts, instantly transmitted codes, uploaded maps and all other manner of life-saving, key-decrypting intel. Oh, would it were that our iPhones came equipped with 1,000,000,000G technology.

"New York": Los Angeles stands in for the Big Apple in Touch too!

A ticking clock: Martin's racing to stop these events from happening (or to make sure they happen correctly). He's racing to figure out what his son is trying to tell him. He's racing to solve the world's mysteries. Kiefer will never stop running. Never!

Kiefer Sutherland Returns to TV with new FOX Series TOUCH (Spring 2012)

2011-10-10T16:35:00.000-07:00

‘TOUCH’ AND GO: KIEFER SUTHERLAND’S RETURN TO TV

For eight seasons, Kiefer Sutherland was one of Fox’s most famous faces, starring as counter-terrorism agent Jack Bauer on the groundbreaking Fox series “24.” After taking a year off, Sutherland’s ready to return to television — and to Fox — in the drama series “Touch.” On the new show, he’ll play a single father whose son can only communicate through mathematics and can’t be “touched.” Sutherland says he wasn’t looking specifically to return to television, but after reading the script for “Touch” and seeing so much growth potential for its characters, he couldn’t resist the opportunity to star in the series.

'Touch' Starring Kiefer Sutherland to Debut Spring 2012 on FOX!

By Touch on FOX on Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 5:01pm

FOX ORDERS “TOUCH”

FOX has ordered 13 episodes of the new drama series TOUCH, created and written by Emmy-nominated Tim Kring (“Heroes”), it was announced today by Kevin Reilly, President of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. TOUCH, starring Emmy and Golden Globe winner Kiefer Sutherland, will join the schedule in the spring of 2012. The pilot was directed and executive-produced by Francis Lawrence (“Water for Elephants”), and the show comes from Chernin Entertainment and Tailwind Productions, in association with 20th Century Fox Television.

“TOUCH is another ambitious series from Tim Kring that is beautifully executed and has incredibly resonant themes for our times,” said Reilly. “With Kiefer back on the network as the face and force behind this creative new series, I’m confident it will resonate with viewers this spring.”

"Every once in a while, you encounter a piece of material that you just cannot say no to,” Sutherland added. “That, combined with the opportunity to work again with Peter Chernin and the Fox studio and network, makes me thrilled to be a part of this project. I also look forward to working with an extraordinary writer and producer like Tim Kring."

TOUCH is a distinct and colorful drama in which science and spirituality intersect with the hopeful premise that we are all interconnected, tied in invisible ways to those whose lives we are destined to alter and impact.

At the center of TOUCH is MARTIN BOHM (Sutherland), a widower and single father, haunted by an inability to connect to his mute 11-year-old son, JAKE (David Mazouz). After multiple failed attempts at keeping Jake in school, Martin is visited by CLEA HOPKINS (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), a social worker sent to evaluate Jake’s well-being. Everything changes when Martin discovers that Jake possesses the gift of staggering genius – the ability to see things that no one else can and the patterns that connect seemingly unrelated events. Jake is indeed communicating. But it’s not with words, it’s with numbers. Martin meets ARTHUR DEWITT (Danny Glover), a professor and an expert on children who possess special gifts when it comes to numbers. Now, it’s up to Martin to decipher the meaning and connect the numbers to the cast of characters whose lives they affect.

TOUCH is a production of Chernin Entertainment and Tailwind Productions, in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Tim Kring created the series and wrote the pilot. Kring, Francis Lawrence, Peter Chernin (NEW GIRL, TERRA NOVA), Katherine Pope (NEW GIRL, TERRA NOVA), Sutherland, Suzan Bymel (“The War at Home”) and Carol Barbee (“Jericho”) are executive producers. Lawrence directed the pilot.

Fox's Kevin Reilly Calls Kiefer Sutherland TOUCH Pilot Extraordinary

By NELLIE ANDREEVA | Friday August 5, 2011 @ 12:57pm PDT

Not that there was ever any doubt that Tim Kring's Fox pilot TOUCH starring Kiefer Sutherland would get on the air, but the network wanted to reserve final judgement until after it sees the finished pilot. Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly told reporters at TCA today that he saw the pilot last night and it was "extraordinary", firmly sealing the project's midseason series pickup. "It's a new character but it does have some doze of Jack Bauer in it," Reilly said about Sutherland's new role. TOUCH will be joining Fox's schedule this season.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw

The former "Undercovers" lead fills out the cast of the likely mid-season Fox drama.

British actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw has been cast opposite Kiefer Sutherland in Fox's drama pilot Touch.

Production was stalled as the former 24 star was consumed by a Broadway revival of Jason Miller’s That Championship Season. Given both the strength of the script as well as Sutherland's star power, it is widely viewed as a sure-thing for Fox's midseason schedule.The project, written by Heroes' Tim Kring, revolves around a father (Sutherland) and his autistic, mute son who can predict events before they happen. Mbatha-Raw is set to play a social worker with child and family services who is accessing the son's living conditions. David Mazouz (Amish Grace) and Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon) fill out the cast as the son and his teacher, respectively.

Mbatha-Raw, who is best known stateside for her recent work on J.J. Abrams' NBC drama Undercovers, is repped by CAA and Principal Entertainment.

Danny Glover

Danny Glover has been cast in Touch, Fox’s likely midseason drama starring Kiefer Sutherland, sources confirm to The Hollywood Reporter.

From Heroes creator Tim Kring, the drama pilot revolves around a father (Sutherland) and his autistic and mute son (David Mazouz) who can predict events before they happen.

As first reported by TV Line, Glover will play Arthur DeWitt, a professor who works with gifted children.

Kring penned the script and is executive producing with Sutherland,Katherine Pope and Peter Chernin for 20th Television and Chernin Entertainment.

The drama marks Kring’s first series since Heroes and Sutherland’s first since 24. Production on Touch will begin soon now that Sutherland has completed his run on Broadway in the revival of Jason Miller’s That Championship Season.

Glover’s most recent TV credits include episodes of Human Target, My Name Is Earl and an arc onBrothers & Sisters.

Fox's 'Touch' Casts Young Lead to Co-Star with Kiefer Sutherland

By NELLIE ANDREEVA | Tuesday June 7, 2011 @ 6:04pm PDT

EXCLUSIVE: Child actor David Mazouz (Lifetime's Amish Grace) has landed the younger lead opposite Kiefer Sutherland in the Fox drama pilot Touch. The project, which is considered a lock for a midseason series order, centers on Martin (Sutherland) who discovers that his genius son Jake (Mazouz) is communicating with him through a complex series of numbers and may even be able to predict events before they happen. Jake rarely shows emotion, refuses to be touched, and instead busies himself with cast-off cell phones, able to see the world with something akin to the eye of God, where every action, thought, breath is interconnected. Tim Kring wrote the script and is exec producing with Katherine Pope and Peter Chernin for 20th TV and Chernin Entertainment.
