24: Legacy Trailer Impresses Critics and Advertisers at FOX Upfronts

FOX has aired the first trailer for 24: Legacy at the FOX upfronts and the response was universally positive.

The advertisers around me are hyped for #24Legacy. Big cheers when the title was mentioned. And some for “EP Kiefer Sutherland” credit!

Buyers Are Psyched for More 24
Hollywood may be underwhelmed by — or perhaps just plain tired of — the industry’s ongoing IP love affair, but the ad community appeared plenty excited for the return of the familiar. Mere mention of 24: Legacy drew unprompted, enthusiastic applause from inside the Beacon. (via THR)
