Kiefer Sutherland Remembers All Things 24
24 the series is over, and although “Jack Bauer” is running away once again from the U.S. government, he hopes that the show’s fans will keep America’s favorite fugitive close to their hearts. Of course, a 24film has been in the works for several years, so Sutherland has a vested interest in hoping the memory of “Jack Bauer” lingers. If not, he may be stuck doing chump change movies like Mirrors, andThe Sentinel once again. So please, TV and movie fans, write a letter to your local congressman and never forget that “Jack Bauer” can save the world 24 hours at a time!

24 + Die Hard = Terrible Idea
24 + Die Hard= Horrible Idea (I agree 100%)
Written by Entertainment King Thursday, 10 June 2010 04:50 PM
"
At one point, The Powers That Be at Fox mulled an idea - DIE HARD 5 and the TV show 24 were to cross over. The intent was for Kiefer Sutherland to appear as Jack Bauer in an adventure with Bruce Willis' John McClane. Hence...DIE HARD 24/7.
"Our dude/lady didn't know how much development was actually put into this notion, but she/he believes the project didn't pan out because Kiefer was more interested in launching his own 24 movie franchise (still said to be in the works) than doing buddy shtick in Bruce's already established series."
This was a horrible idea! F****** Die Hard would have ruined Jack Bauer's (Kiefer Sutherland's) reputation! Whoever thought of this idea should be fired on the spot!

Q&A With 24 Exec Producer Howard Gordon
Q&A: '24' exec producer Howard GordonBy Matt Belloni
June 10, 2010, 08:55 PM ET
The Hollywood Reporter: Do you think "24" would have been a hit if we weren't in a post-9/11 era?
Howard Gordon: The show would have been successful, but I don't think it would have been nearly as resonant. The real world gave us a lot of fodder so it's almost impossible to imagine what it would have been like in an alternate universe without 9/11. It's like asking what the show would look like without Kiefer Sutherland. It's hard to imagine it.
THR: Who has been the most the surprising fan of the show?
Gordon: I was in Iraq and found myself talking to both Gen. (Ray) Odierno and the British ambassador, and it turns out that Gen. Odierno is a tremendous fan of the show. I actually put him on the phone with Kiefer from Baghdad.
Gordon: I was in Iraq and found myself talking to both Gen. (Ray) Odierno and the British ambassador, and it turns out that Gen. Odierno is a tremendous fan of the show. I actually put him on the phone with Kiefer from Baghdad.
THR: And the most surprising critic?
Gordon: The critics are not surprising because I feel like the show has--fairly or unfairly--become a pawn in certain agendas, particularly in the torture debate. I am far more surprised by the wide range of fans we have. The most surprising is that Rush Limbaugh and Barbra Streisand could love the same show.
THR: Did Rupert Murdoch ever tell you whether he liked it?
Gordon: At one wrap party, he did say that he did like the show. But you know what, I couldn't even tell you. It was a fairly muted compliment. (Laughs).
THR: Did Fox ever refuse to air anything?
Gordon: The only thing they nixed, to my recollection, is when we downed Air Force One and the president died. We had to have the president survive.
THR: Have your views on torture changed since working on the show?
Gordon: My views have changed only because I have gotten a crash course in what's been done in reality. But I can't really speak to that because I'm not an expert. The far more nuanced and challenging area for me has been privacy versus security. How far do we go to monitor our citizens and noncitizens and what are the criteria for that? The hazards are apparent but so are the hazards of inattentiveness or of protecting people to the point of not being able to detect a threat. There is certainly a line, and that line is, I think, constantly being drawn. I always say this about "24": Even though we may have been kicked around as the mouthpiece for policy that allows torture or that forgave it or promoted it, the fact that we were having the debate in society was a very healthy thing.
THR: Some on the right said "24" changed when conservative co-creator Joel Surnow left. Do you agree?
Gordon: It wasn't so much that Joel left but that the world changed and the reductive wish fulfillment that "24" initially represented (changed). Not only did the world change but Jack (Bauer) changed because he continued to lose and lose. He has grown increasingly scarred by his own life. It's not because the conservative left the room, it's because Jack grew into this darker character and the world into a much more complex place.
