One year ago today, the 24 series finale aired on FOX. Rather than writing a long post praising the show, I assume everyone here is already aware of the awesomeness that is 24. So instead, I’ll post some videos for you to watch including this great documentary that you most likely haven’t seen before:
Here’s an interview where Necar Zadegan (24‘s Dalia Hassan) reminisces about working on the series and her Broadway debut in Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo.
“I miss it. It’s a wonderful show, a wonderful show to work on. All the actors are so solid on that show and the writers and the producers… It just makes your job so much easier, you can just show up and work. I love working with Cherry Jones. She’s a New Yorker, we actually just had lunch the other day. It was great to see her again. She’s brilliant to work with. We really got the opportunity to work opposite each other in 24 and she’s just a wonderful actress. She gives a lot, she gives you a lot — and that feels really good because you have a lot to work off of.”
Gregory Mantell interviewed 24‘s Howard Gordon about the show, the 24 movie, his novel Gideon’s War, working with Jon Voight, Kiefer Sutherland, his upcoming series Homeland, and more.
Here’s Kiefer Sutherland’s full interview on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. He talks about the 24 movie, his Broadway play That Championship Season, his upcoming internet series The Confession (along with a brief clip), tweeting, and more.
Update: Ugh, seems like TwitVid has removed the video already, so I’ve reuploaded it here. If you’ve embedded that video on your site already please update with this new one. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Kiefer mentions the 24 movie (hopes to shoot in January, Tony Scott is interested in directing), his upcoming internet series The Confession (late March premiere, possibly releasing three episodes at a time), and his Broadway play That Champsionship Season.
Here’s an interview I recorded this morning on FOX 5′s Good Day New York. It’s almost entirely about his novel Gideon’s War, but he gets asked about the 24 movie at the very end (final 20 seconds) to which he replies it’s not happening right away but is still happening.
This is actually a pretty candid interview where Howard Gordon gets grilled about the “political correctness” of the 24 in recent years with the numerous “Go Green” PSA’s in Season 7 (which he says was a Rupert Murdoch mandate) and the Season 4 pro-Muslim PSA’s with Kiefer Sutherland.
Mary Lynn Rajskub made her first appearance on the Lopez Tonight late night show. She talks a bit about the intensity of working on 24, her guest spot role on tomorrows Modern Family, being a parent, and more. At the end the entire audience got free 24 Season 8 DVD’s.
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!”
Kiefer Sutherland spoke about the upcoming 24 movie, saying that it won’t be set in real time (obviously – can you imagine watching a 24 hour movie?), but will instead be a two hour representation of a single day. More excitingly, it seems like they’re getting closer to hiring a director (earlier this month, Tony Scott was in discussions to direct).
“Some amazing filmmakers have made themselves available to make the film, so we’re very excited,” Sutherland said. “It’s going to look, I think, very different from the show,” said Kiefer.
