Jack Bauer screaming

Well that was fast. The official 24 website has been taken down on August, 24th – precisely three months after the series finale aired on television. There hasn’t even been any kind of “thank you for the support” message to 24 fans, the site was just deleted and all that’s left is a 404 “page not found” error message.

The 24 message boards will remain online up until September 15th after which they will be shut down too. So there’s a little under three weeks to say your goodbyes there.

Anil Kapoor as President Omar Hassan

Anil Kapoor is going great guns. After the international acclaim following Slumdog Millionaire, the evergreen star is making his debut on international television with the final season of American series 24. He describes the action drama as “bigger than the biggest” he has done in India.

“This small screen (24) was bigger than the big screen that I have done in India. It was bigger than the biggest that I’ve ever done,” Anil, who played a game show host in Slumdog Millionaire that fetched him international visibility, said in a telephonic interview from Mumbai.

“For example, the scale of every episode was bigger than any of the films I’ve done in the past. The entire series is worth $125-150 million. I’ve never done such a big show in my career. It was totally very special,” added the 50-year-old.

Remember last year when 24 had a panel at Comic-Con? Those were the good ol’ days. Anyway, here’s video of the Comic-Con panel Q&A session for NBC’s new TV series The Event which is getting a lot of buzz. 24 fans should keep an eye out on this show which seems to have a very similar vibe (and the same time slot – Mondays at 9PM starting on September 20th).
