Chloe O’Brian not in 24 movie? (Updated)

Well Just to be clear I won’t be disappointed if she’s not there. Remember Kiefer told T.V guide that Jack Will most likely be hunted/Fighting for survival he would be running as oppose to Chasing. Which is different change in pace. He would only have himself to rely on. So I’m okay with Chloe Not being in the movie if that’s the case. From the way they describe the story it sounds like the movie will focus more on Jack then having the president/CTU in the same boat. So again doesn’t matter to me. Du know about anyone else but Jack being a fugitive & Fighting for survival is interesting in itself. We’ve seen a lot of things in 24 but what we haven’t seen is Jack Being hunted down We haven’t seen Jack rely on himself before. Someone’s always okay so not always has had his back so…. This would be different & interesting to see.

I also won’t be disappointed if Chloe O’Brian is not in the movie. The 24 movie should stand on its own and shouldn’t have any tv baggage attached to it. To have certain characters from the tv show to pop up during the movie could be confusing to some audience member who’ve never seen the tv show. The movie needs to appeal to everyone, not just 24 fans. That was the mistake the first X-Files movie made. Let the film franchise get established first and if it’s successful, then it’s ok to introduce characters from the tv show. I also think it’s a good idea to get rid of the 24 hour time format. Jack Bauer is the star of the movie not the ticking clock. I’ll probably get some heat from fans on this issue but it’s another way that the movie will be different from the tv show, and don’t call the movie 24. Come up with a better title but let people know it’s a Jack Bauer movie.

Well it is a 24 question So only reasonable assumption would be about the movie. @Gerry you make a very good point kinda the same thing I was saying it wouldn’t really make since for Chloe to be in the movie if this was about Jack’s survival…

That being said, you have to serve the material, and from what we know of the script, it really is Jack’s story, it’s him alone against the odds, hunted rather than hunting, fighting for his life rather than his country, and evading the authorities as well as his enemies, does sound a lot like the ‘Die Hard’ meets ‘The Fugitive’ scenario that Howard Gordon described a while back. We’ve Never seen Jack on his own with no one covering his back. & if you look at the end of season 8 when Jack & Chloe said goodbye Chloe Said Good Luck Jack. So for Chloe to be in the movie after that wouldn’t really make a hole lot of since… Chloe efforts to help Would only create awareness & possibly suspicion of Jack’s where abouts. Jack would have to be resourceful & pretty much have to rely on himself. I like the idea of Jack fighting for survival & being on his own as a fugitive.

I think it is very obvious that this is about Touch, not 24 movie.
I am sure Chloe will be in the movie, because she is unfortunately too popular not to be in it. I personally would never want to see her in 24 again because I never really liked the character and contrary the what people say, 24 could have easily been written without her without making significant alterations to seasons 3-8. Heck, it would probably be a better show without the technological deus-ex-machina sitting in the CTU.

I personally do not want anyone to return from the show either. They already killed or ruined every interesting character in the show and I don’t want to see the movie turning into a contrived cameo mess just to appease some individual fanbases. Just start anew with new characters and with a fresh perspective, don’t shackle the movie franchise with old b-grade leftover stock from the show.

>> Ozgur Ulker Dare I ask is there anything you do like about the show

I like season 5, 2 and 7 (those are my favorite seasons). Guess what, 2 didn’t have any Chloe, 7 had very limited Chloe and 5 being my favorite season has nothing to do with her but plot being very tightly written and directed.

Chloe this, Chloe that, I don’t care about Chloe, the 24 movie does not need Chloe, just like 24 TV series never needed her in the first place.

Ozgur Ulker Well, I wouldn’t say that I like Chloe but weather she’s in the movie or not doesn’t matter to me. But as Jack said she’s very good at what she does she’s an asset to Jack. The fact that they put her in charge of CTU in season 8 I thought and still think was BAAAADDDD story telling She’s an analyst NOT a CTU director She had no clue how to run CTU & Jack got under the radar pretty easily under her. So I guess my only point would be she helped Jack in many ways. other then Her being in charge she became his only support so she served the series because of that.

OK, lots of people have pointed out how you’ve misunderstood the article here – and you’ve acknowledged that – so can you not change the headline of this so it’s not misleading? Just make it an article about the Touch interview, as this has nothing to do with the 24 movie.

I actually hope Chloe isn’t in the movie. I was neutral on her character – she was far from my favourite, but she was palatable. My main problem with her was that she made things easy for Jack and I prefer season 1/2 style Jack when he didn’t know what to expect going into a building.

My indifference to her character aside, I think her ending was fitting and to bring her back would be extraneous. She said her goodbye to Jack and I like to think that’s how their relationship ends.

As for the movie, I want it to focus solely on Jack. The later seasons started to put more emphasis on other characters, but a movie should go back to the earlier seasons where Jack was the lead character. The idea of him being hunted sounds great!

Jack Bauer is not in the 24 movie, because it’s not happening.
