Question: I was curious if you had any information on the 24 movie. Will it be going into production soon? —Brandon
Ausiello: Based on the following status report from Rajskub, I’m guessing the answer is no. “I don’t know what’s going on with it,” she says. “Everybody asks me about it, but I don’t know anything. I think it would be great if it happened a year after the show went off the air, but I haven’t heard anything.”

Fans of 24 know Carlo Rota as Morris O’Brian, the recovering-alcoholic husband of the show’s snarky super-sleuth Chloe O’Brian, played by Mary Lynn Rajskub.
For three seasons of the FOX hit, he aided his wife in saving the world, but this weekend, he helped children fight cancer. On The Red Carpet caught up with Rota at the L.A. Rally for Kids With Cancer to ask if he had any ‘intel’ on a 24 movie in the works.

“Coming from 24, it was a much-needed change that just felt right,” Cuthbert said. Nonetheless, she said she would be more than willing to appear in the upcoming 24 movie.
“Absolutely, I would be lying if I said otherwise,” Cuthbert said.
“They actually haven’t called me on it. The thing is, I have a lot of trust in Kiefer (Sutherland) and the producers and Howard Gordon, all these guys, that if they need me and I’m going to be a good fit – and not just put me in there because they have to – I trust their judgment and will be there on the day that they need me. Unless I’m shooting Happy Endings, of course.”

Were you working on it while you were finishing up ’24′ or was this something that came after?
Yeah, I was working on it a lot and all of a sudden I’m just thinking I’d like to take a vacation. I wanted to transition off ’24′ but I didn’t want to jump on another show, I wanted it to be the right thing, and it’s hard to know what that is. But for me, I’ve always performed so it was an easy choice for me to jump right into that.How tough was that to do when you have to do the normal stuff you do for ’24,’ learning lines, getting it shot, was there enough time?
Oh, it was intense, I mean definitely the live show went on hold sometimes, so we did it when we could. But working on the show towards the end of ’24,’ it was a really emotional time.

Mike Gencarelli: You played Nina Myers in “24″, with the show finally seeing its end, how do you feel?
Sarah Clarke: I did. It was like an end of an era to see the show end. When I went to the finale party it was great to see so much of the crew that was still involved. The fact they they were able to keep it such a viable show for eight seasons is great. We didn’t think it was going to get past season two.

Howard Gordon was interviewed at BookExpo America 2010 in New York City by Authors on Tour Live about his upcoming thriller novel “The Obelisk”.
He discusses the book and its character Gideon Davis, how he came up with the idea, and what it was like writing for a hit television show like 24. He says that the book was done during the Writers Strike. He also says that he’s got some ideas for a sequel and is looking forward to getting into it.

THR: So Jack lives. I know you’ve got the movie planned, but how much did you seriously consider killing him in the finale?
Gordon: We certainly considered it. We considered killing him earlier (in the season) as an off-rhythm thing. But every time we went there and penciled it out, it didn’t feel satisfying. It felt frustrating or it felt affected or something.
Gordon also spoke with Entertainment Weekly. He is asked about many things including the fan reaction to Dana Walsh and the death of Renee Walker. Gordon was also asked about the lack of returning characters – where was Tony Almeida, Aaron Pierce, Mandy, and Alan Wilson?

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Back in 2001, did you have reservations about debuting the show after Sept. 11?
KIEFER SUTHERLAND: Huge, massive concerns. It was something that was really transcendent to the population, and it wasn’t about the show. I think we all went through a period for three weeks, that if you weren’t a doctor, a policeman, a fireman, or a nurse, and you weren’t able to actually physically help, you just felt moronic for what you were doing. And me being a professional actor for a living, I think we felt the dumbest of all. So it wasn’t about the appropriateness of the show. But at some point, something’s got to jolt you out of the unbelievable mourning of a situation like that, and the sadness of that kind of day, and movies and television and music and literature are all things that do that.

Jim Halterman: You’ve worked on ‘Lost,’ ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’ and ‘Angel’ before ’24.’ Since those were very different genres, how did you make that transition?
David Fury: It was definitely a big difference going to ’24′ from the others shows I had been on. ’24′ is a runaway train of action, conspiracies with interweaving in [and] it was a challenge. They brought me in to try to find the more human stories within all the action and to try to track and find emotional life in these characters even while they’re disparaging orders in CTU. By the time I came on in year 5 of ’24,’ Jack had been through so much. One of the reasons I was there – [Co-Creator/Executive Producer] Joel Surnow told me – was they had watched one of my ‘Lost’ episodes and I did so much with nothing. What he was referring to was there was no real plot in the elements of ‘Lost.’ It might just be a scene between two characters and he found that compelling.
JH: How’s the process been with ‘Terra Nova’ after spending so much time on ’24?’
DF: It’s pretty amazing after five years to go back to writing a script of a different kind. I’ve been stuck writing in the real time of ’24′ and to be able to use flashbacks, time cuts, being able to add different perspectives… it’s almost like relearning the craft of writing because ’24′ beat it out of me.
