Mary Lynn Rajskub is interviewed by Blockbuster UK about her role as Chloe O’Brian in the 24 series and taking over CTU. Loved the part where she jokes “How come when I get to be boss, it’s the last season? Finally I get to take over and they just pull the plug!”

President David Palmer 24

Mary Lynn Rajskub wants to resurrect dead characters for the ’24′ movie.

The actress – who portrayed systems analyst Chloe O’Brian in the final five series of the drama – thinks fans would be thrilled if bosses found some way to bring back President David Palmer, who appeared in the first four seasons of the show before being assassinated at the beginning of Day 5, when the big-screen adaptation is made.

She said: “I think I’ll be back, I hope so. I don’t know what will happen in it.

“I’d like President Palmer to come back, I think a lot of people liked him. I wish Michelle Dessler wasn’t dead, I wish Edgar wasn’t dead.”

Howard Gordon

24's Howard Gordon

24 showrunner Howard Gordon revealed some more solid details on the 24 movie in a recent interview with Digital Spy. He reveals a returning character (and hints at there being more), the movie locations, and the time gap between Season 8 and the movie.

Moving on, how far along are you with the 24 movie?
“There is a script. It’s being read by Fox now. There’s no schedule, there’s no green light, there’s no plans right now in terms of a calendar for it. But we’re working on it.”

You just mentioned it’s good to see Jack somewhere exotic. There have been lots of rumors that the movie will be partially set in the UK. Can you say anything about that?
“Right now the UK is a location, Prague is a location and Serbia. And China.”

Do you think there’ll be more than one movie?
“I think the intent is actually hopefully to build a franchise and [writer] Billy Ray says he’s got three.”

When does the movie pick up after the end of season eight?
“It’s roughly 18 months.”

Can you tell me anything about the plot?
“No. Only because it’s such a work in progress that anything I say could be invalid tomorrow. We’re a couple of weeks away, I think one way or the other we’ll know more shortly.”

What about which cast members will be back?
“I can tell you… again even that is way subject to change, but right now I can tell you that Chloe… How about Chloe, I’ll give you Chloe.”

Go on, you were going to say more then!
“I was, but again that could go away, it truly could.”

Check out the full interview at Digital Spy, it’s a great read. Howard talks about the criticism regarding Allison Taylor’s shift in behavior, why Aaron Pierce and Tony Almeida didn’t return in Season 8, writing the shows final scene, and Jack Bauer’s partners.

Mary Lynn Rajskub Creative Emmys 2009

Digital Spy recently had the chance to interview Mary Lynn Rajskub, 24‘s Chloe O’Brian on her role in the series.

How were you originally cast as Chloe?
“I had never watched 24. I mostly did comedy stuff before. Having just had a really bad CSI audition, I got called to audition for 24. My mom was a huge fan of the show and so she said, ‘You have to go, this is the greatest show’. My agent sent me some copies of the show [and] I went having crammed as much as I could before the interview. I met [producer] Joel Surnow and he said, ‘You’re great, I’m writing a part for you. I know there’s nothing on the page, but you’re great’. I felt very validated and fantastic about myself!”

Do you have a favorite scene or moment from your time on 24?
“A lot of people tell me their favorite was me shooting the bad guy in season four. That was up there. Whenever I get to act outside of CTU, I really like it. I like it when I’m emotional too. Like when Edgar died! Through the glass, that was a good one. Watching his body fall!”

Check out the full interview over at Digital Spy.

Mary Lynn Rajskub "So Fresh, So Fox" Photoshoot

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.”

Update: Watch the full Chloe’s Arrest epilogue!

I broke the news back in August about a Chloe scene filming for the DVD and now New York Post’s PopWrap has the exclusive first screenshot:

Mary Lynn Rajskub 24 Season 8 DVD

When Jack Bauer slipped out of satellite sight in the “24″ series finale, fans thought they had seen the last of CTU, but it turns out there is one final chapter to tell. A Chloe-centric vignette was filmed exclusively for the upcoming Season Eight DVD set and PopWrap has your exclusive first look at the action.

In the epilogue, Chloe is interrogated (with husband Morris and son Prescott baring witness) for the part she played in helping Jack Bauer evade capture in the May finale. We’ll have to wait until December 14 to see if she’s held accountable for doing the right thing, but in the meantime we can relive the heart-breaking final call that led to Chloe’s current predicament.

Mary Lynn Rajskub 24 season 8

A new scene is being filmed for the 24 Season 8 DVD today featuring Chloe O’Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub), her husband Morris O’Brian (Carlo Rota), and their young son Prescott O’Brian (played by showrunner Howard Gordon’s son in 24 Season 7). This was something that was just locked down within the last few days – as of August 9th it was still up in the air.

No word on what the scene entails – it could be some kind of epilogue of sorts, a tie-in to the 24 movie, or more likely just a short scene for fans of the series. Hope to have more information soon!

Mary Lynn Rajskub

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.

Here’s the FOX promo pics from last nights 24 series finale (I hate typing the words series finale). I gotta say, the graffiti wall was really cool and unique imagery for the final scene.
