Is Bauer Movie First Two Hours Of 24’s 7th Season?? Or Not??
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
Premiere.com has an interview with Robert Carlyle, who plays a central role in Fox's “24” TV-movie airing Nov. 23.
Carlyle indicates the movie will comprise the first two of season seven's 24 hours, but a Fox exec subsequently tells TV Guide we're getting both the two-hour movie in November and a full 24-hour 7th season in 2009.
Carlyle supplies other, perhaps more reliable details in the same interview:
* The movie, shot in South Africa, is set in the fictional African nation of Sangala.
* Carlyle’s character is Bauer’s best friend; they haven’t seen each other in something like a decade.
* Carlyle claims he doesn’t know if his character will appear in the 2009 episodes.
This might be a good time to recap some of the other stuff we know about the upcoming adventures of Jack Bauer:
* The 7th season takes place at least four years after the 6th. We know this because Chloe O’Brien is now the mother of a 4-year-old.
* There’s now a female U.S. president. The successor to David Palmer, John Keeler, Charles Logan, Hal Gardner, Wayne Palmer and Noah Daniels is played by Cherry Jones (“Signs”).
* Sprague Grayden (“Jericho”) will play the president's daughter.
* The president’s son, played by Eric Lively (“The L Word”), will be seen in the movie, and will go missing at some point.
* Carly Pope (“Popular”) will play the son’s girlfriend.
* Jon Voight (“Transformers”) will play an evil mastermind in both the movie and subsequent episodes.
* Tony Todd (“Candyman”) will play the evil Sangala dictator in both the movie and subsequent episodes.
* Janeane Garofalo (“The West Wing”), who played an FBI agent in “Clay Pigeons” and Mary Lynn Rajskub’s boss on “The Larry Sanders Show,” plays an FBI agent in season seven.
* Gil Bellows (“Ally McBeal”) will play a State Department employee in the movie.
* John Billingsly (“Star Trek: Enterprise,” “The Nine”) has been cast as somebody named Latham.
* Series icon Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard) and his giant soulpatch live.
* We can expect the seventh season to be set several months after the movie.
You can still watch a trailer for the 7th season, some of which was shot last fall before the writer’s strike, here.

that's strange that they'll break up the 24 hr time period
by just pillow talk
due to the movie being included as part of the season. I thought for sure it would be separate from the season per se, and just serve as more of an intro.
-
It depends upon the season, but I would definitely check out season one and see if you like it.
-
It only takes 10 minutes to get to Africa. With no pee break.
-
Why isn't this in coax?
Regardless, I'm done with the show. It's been in decline since season 2 and last season was nigh-unwatchable. -
I mean, I have no reason to doubt Robert Carlysle, but he could be mistaken.
-
And sometimes it's not, still better than most stuff on TV, and Kiefer Sutherland is always great as Jack Bauer. If they're going to bring back a character from the dead, it should have been Michelle, she was a kick ass babe, I could have even seen her taking over as the lead if Kiefer decided to leave. We only saw Tony cradling her, he's not a doctor, maybe she was saved by paramedics, and has been in a coma ever since, and it's been kept secret for her own safety. The show always seems to be taking place in the present, but every season jumps ahead a few years, I guess it's just one of those things we're not supposed to notice.

T'was alright but I had no drive to sit through another day.

and told him off for talking shite.
Perhaps something was lost in translation...? In an interview with Premiere.com, Scotsman Robert Carlyle stated that the two hours covered by this November's 24 prequel movie will count toward Season 7's episode count. "This is two hours in real time," he said, "and there'll then be 22 episodes."
That didn't seem kosher, so I checked with Fox and confirmed that Day 7 indeed will be the usual 24 episodes/hours, wholly supplementary to the TV-movie.
Carlyle also indicated that the final moments of the prequel will feed right into the opening scenes of Season 7, yet again, that is not exactly the case. The prequel itself picks up four years after the events of Day 6 — effectively planting Jack Bauer in the year 2017, if you have been keeping tabs — and then another few on-screen months will pass between the movie's sure-to-be-thrilling climax and Jack's appearance before Congress. — Matt Mitovich TVguide.com -
Or at least disappear. I can't believe that she seriously got fans! They kill Edgar after 1 1/2 seasons but this annoying bitch is still a part of the show? She is the Jar Jar Binks of 24!

What year are we supposed to be in now? 2015?

"Picture the scene: The other fuckin' week there, doin' the fuckin' Volley with Tommy, playing pool. I'm playing like Paul-Fuckin'-Newman by the way. Givin' the boy here the tannin' of a lifetime. So it comes to there, during the last shot, the deciding ball of the whole tournament. I'm on the black and he's sittin' in the corner looking all fuckin' biscuit-arsed. When this hard cunt comes in. Obviously fuckin' fancied himself, like. Starts staring at me. Lookin' at me, right fuckin' at me, as if to say, "Come ahead, square go." You ken me, I'm not the type of cunt that goes looking for fuckin' bother, like, but at the end of the day I'm the cunt with a pool cue and he can get the fat end in his puss any time he fucking wanted like. So I squares up, casual like. What does the hard cunt do? Or the so-called hard cunt? Shites it. Puts down his drink, turns, and gets the fuck out of there. And after that, well, the game was mine."

Do you know how SICK I am of the good guy's best friend becoming the bad guy later or revealing himself to be the bad guy behind all of the shit at the very last minute? And if my calculations are correct, 12 years will have passed between seasons 1 and 7.
-
I love 24 with a passion, still one of the most original series on US TV, however Season 6 was a big let down, yet Season 5 was one of the best!High Hopes!
-
now it's not even in my top 5. if they can't give us a quality season ASAP, i have a feeling, contract or not, the show might be canceled.
almost all of 24's mistakes can be blamed on lazy writting. storylines and even characters have been blatantly copied season after season. -
Cringe.
-
God help the kid.
-
I would rank the seasons thus far:
1. Season 1
2. Season 5
3. Season 2
4. Season 3
5. Season 4
6. Season 6 -
It doesn't have to be good. But it helps when it's not boring and directionless (most of Season 6). Robert Carlyle is a terrible actor though; I hope he takes a bullet.
-
For those who underrate Robert Carlyle, I can only refer you to Trainspotting to prove his worth.
p.s. WANTED was funkin' great. -
Tony Todd scares me.
-
Proves my point! Plenty of actors fit one role well and then prove mind-numbingly cringe-inducingly bad in every subsequent role.
-
And it can be incredibly addictive. The fifth season worked excellently, although some seasons tend to flounder. My main complaint is the new cast of CTU, they are simply not as interesting as the old school members.

I had no idea? I always like him in what I see him in. Especially, 28 Weeks Later, Full Monty, Ravenous, Angela's Ashes, he was a pretty cool Bond villain too even though it wasn't the best Bond movie.
-
1. "Jon Voight (Transformers)": HA HA HA!!!2. Tony Mugabe - I mean Todd...3. How come I never knew about that trailer? Did AICN notify us about it and I simply missed it or will I have to start looking elsewhere for news on my favourite shows?

Wow, I certainly missed that one big time. October last year? Jeez. My excuse is I was moving house and didn't have the internet sorted. Yeah, that's it... moving house...
-
I forgot
-
Jack Bauer is however goddamned old he tells you he is.
-
Without question. Her shit smelling face and pointless dialogue drags down the show at every turn. Meanwhile, every interesting character is killed off. I like the show less because of her.
-
great to see Carlos Bernard back! Alemida is THE MAN!

i keed, i keed.
man, i hope this show turns a corner. 24 has had weak eps before and even weaker seasons (insert your pick here), but last season was just ass. i still can't fathom how David Fury and Manny Coto could helm such dreck.
but if Bauer v Gorillas in the Mist and the Lion King is what it takes to bring 24 back, so be it. -
since he ripped Father Time's neck off with his teeth.
-
2020?
Will we see any of the new tech that will undoubtedly appear by then? -
Because she's killed off in EVERYTHING she ever appears in.
-
I'm jonesing for some 24. I don't care how outlandish the plots get or what year it's supposed to be. It's still a thrilling ride. Jack Bauer rules!
-
It really is a fascinating mess, and all the more fascinating because it's genesis was a show welded to a premise--real time--that would seem to force it to keep at least a toehold in reality. But now its more out there than any show this side of "Lost." When do we get Jack Bauer in space? Or traveling in time?
-
What happened to that?
-
You can add one more cast member to the list -- I believe Peter Wingfield (Methos from Highlander: The Series) is still attached to play "the shadowy Mr. Emerson," an ambiguously defined colleague of Jack's for at least 4, possibly more, episodes...
-
Last we heard he should be first showing up in Episode 2...now whether that means the second half of "Africa" TV movie, or the regular season, I do not know... I would assume he isn't showing up until the regular season, considering this "Africa" thing was added on fairly recently... Yes, I'm a fan of the g

Will the African caricatures be as ridiculous as the Arab ones?
by pdorwick
...one can only imagine.
-
Actor strike? - And have they already shot the movie or is it at risk of being shutdown if the strike comes to past on July 1st.? Sorry i'm unable to pull up the link.
-
Of course, they were both yummy.
-
The blonde was Leslie "What do you think of your other nickname, The Merchant of Death" Bibb.
-
I hope Almeida is the main bad guy this season and not one of the lame henchmen who get killed 12 episodes in...
-
ouch.
-
"Bitches Leave!" Then season seven becomes the best season ever of 24.
-
Since the first season? There's always 2-3 years in between, right?
-
it started in 2001...then 1 year between 1 and 2...3 years between 2 and 3...18 months between 3 and 4....6 months between 4 and 5...18 months between 5 and 6...3 years between 6 and 7 EQUALS 10 1/2 years from 2001...so that means Season 7 is gonna be set in mid 2011 so just like 2 1/2 years aheard of when it airs.
-
4 years between 6 and 7 EQUALS out to mid 2012...3 1/2 years ahead of the time it airs
-
The terrorist threat isn't really the Sangalans. It's really an off-shoot rogue organization from a 'safe' country that won't throw a fit if we imply they are our enemy in a fictional tv-show. This organization has it's own agenda to de-stabilize the US, but not because they feel oppressed by us, no, it's something that is in no way our fault. The real spoiler is, they are being secretely assisted by people in the US government who want them to succeed for some unknown reason completely un-related to oil or regime-change.
-
they just usually call it 'tv producers walking on eggshells'. And Jackie Boy, I feel your pain. I made a similar post a while back when Voight was credited as being (from Transformers). Pretty much like saying it stars Robert Deniro (Hide and Seek).
-
A year between 1 and 2, 3 between and 3, 18 months between 3 and 4, another 18 months between 4 and 5, 20 months between 5 and 6, 4 between 6 and 7 - I get about 12 years putting us towards the end of 2013 (if Chloe's kid is 4 then you need to add pregnancy time as well).
-
The show that convinced frightened Americans that torture is OK will tank when Cheney is out of the white house
-
At some point?!?! And I thought 24 had run out of ideas. This new "family members disappearing" should turn everything.
I'm just kidding, btw. I love 24. I just think its funny that in every season at least one family member of Bauer and/or Current President goes missing. -
You're dumb. Just because Cheney goes away with not sate my desire to watch Jack Bauer bite someone in the throat to death. That's for sure. As long as the show is QUALITY, people will watch. Right wing, left wing...24 rocks. Torture is cool when a nuke is gonna go off in 5 minutes. Deal with it.
-
...as apparently 17 years have passed since Day One. Luckily Jack is ageless: tinyurl.com/6qb7ec
-
I just checked and I got the gap between 1 and 2 wrong - it's 18 months which means there will have been 12 years and 8 months betwwn 1 and 7. I have no idea how people are calculating 17 years, all the time spans are noted in the first episode of each season.
-
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the president's son?
Chloe also played a character in "Suddenly Susan" (or one of those shitty sitcoms) named Chloe, who claimed to be a CIA agent. -
Jack can contain the threat from a biological wheapon by hiding it in the fridge. He can be saved from a nuclear blast by hiding behind a rock. Get your facts straight.
-
I don't know how old Jack was in season one, but his daughter was in High School, probably about 17. Assuming that jack wasn't a teenaged Dad he'd have to be well into his 50s in this next season. Meanwhile, Sutherland is just past 40 and could play younger. So they'll keep the daughter away to keep our minds off his age.
-
...what world that makes sense in, but after seeing her in The Girl Next Door, I want to live in that world.
-
The ONLY non-evil, non-irritating, completely competent female character in the entire series, and those BASTARDS killed her off. O Reiko, Where Art Thou?
-
hmmm, Reiko..... AvPr, why!!!!!!!!!
-
let this not be a new season of Whack-a-mole, White House Edition.
-
I love me some Jack Bauer CTU action but this show may have to be put out of its misery. The 6th season was such an abomination that I thought it had to be rock bottom. Unfortunately I think the show would be better off with bringing back that menacing mountain lion.
-
he's donating a portion of his chin to Cloe O'Brien. The surgery is expected to allow both actors to live normal lives in world populated by normal sized chins.
-
Do what you will, I put up with a whole wheel barrow of bullshittery where this show was concerned in the past but I have to say that I draw the here and now. Janeane Garofalo?!!?? REALLY??!? Not on my watch...not EVER.
-
..after George Lucas slaps a Cease and Desist letter on FOX for stealing his "Jabba's Son is Kidnapped" plotline.
-
let us rejoice
-
..as rank. No show ever takes an upturn, my wife says maybe this is the season that kicks in but I say shows only degenerate, never re-generate. I had moments last season where I was pissed that I was watching, how wrong is that? I can't go forward on the assumption that "Gee I've watched them all so far.." I walked from the x-files when it started sucking even given how much I loved it at the start, I'll walk from 24 in a heartbeat. Maybe I already have.
