Ich finde es gar nicht so schlecht, weil ich mich schon jetzt auf einen Kinofilm freue (sollte er denn kommen). Trotzdem werde ich die Serie vermissen.

Nein. #sad# Es muss ein würdiges Ende bekommen. [-o<

Offizieller Press Release:

“24: DAY EIGHT” WILL BE THE AWARD-WINNING SERIES’ FINAL SEASON

Two-Hour Series Finale Airs Monday, May 24, on FOX

In a joint decision made by 24’s star and executive producer Kiefer Sutherland, executive producer and showrunner Howard Gordon, Twentieth Century Fox Television, Imagine Entertainment and Fox Broadcasting Company, it was determined that the acclaimed series will end its remarkable eight-season run. Jack Bauer’s last day on FOX will conclude when the final two hours of “Day Eight” air Monday, May 24 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). As the countdown to the series’ climactic conclusion races on, the final 11 hours will air uninterrupted Mondays (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Multiple award-winning series star Kiefer Sutherland reflected on the show’s run: “This has been the role of a lifetime, and I will never be able to fully express my appreciation to everyone who made it possible. While the end of the series is bittersweet, we always wanted 24 to finish on a high note, so the decision to make the eighth season our last was one we all agreed upon. This feels like the culmination of all our efforts from the writers to the actors to our fantastic crew and everyone at Fox. Looking ahead to the future, Howard Gordon and I are excited about the opportunity to create the feature film version of 24. But when all is said and done, it is the loyal worldwide fan base that made it possible for me to have the experience of playing the role of Jack Bauer, and for that I am eternally grateful.”

Executive producer and showrunner Howard Gordon said, “Kiefer and I have loved every minute of making 24, but we all believe that now is the right time to call it a day. I echo his sentiments of gratitude toward the show’s amazing creative team, as well as the studio and network who have always believed in us and shown us unbelievable support.”

“24 is so much more than just a TV show – it has redefined the drama genre and created one of the most admired action icons in television history,” said Peter Rice, Chairman, Entertainment, Fox Networks Group. Kevin Reilly, President, Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company added, “We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series and will be forever thankful to Kiefer, the producers, the cast and crew for everything they’ve put into 24 over the years. It’s truly been an amazing and unforgettable eight days.”

“We are so grateful to Kiefer and Howard who have really poured their hearts and souls into making this show over the past eight seasons,” commented Gary Newman and Dana Walden, Chairmen, Twentieth Century Fox Television. “To everyone who contributed to this iconic series over its amazing run, we want to extend our heartfelt appreciation for your incredible work.”

Added Imagine Entertainment’s Brian Grazer, “I’m so proud to have been a part of 24, which has become such a cultural phenomenon. And to Kiefer and Howard and everyone who has worked on the show, many thanks.”

Now in its eighth season with Kiefer Sutherland starring as the heroic Jack Bauer, the inventive and suspenseful 24 has been nominated for a total of 68 Emmy Awards, winning for Outstanding Drama Series in 2006. Over the course of seven seasons, Sutherland garnered seven Emmy nominations and one win for Outstanding Lead Actor – Drama Series. While the series gained global recognition, Sutherland’s portrayal of the legendary character penetrated the American psyche like no other dramatic television character to become part of the English lexicon.

Premiering November 6, 2001, 24 employed a pioneering split-screen, fast-paced format with complex interweaving storylines as viewers followed anti-terrorism agent Jack Bauer through 24 pulse-pounding episodes, each covering one hour and presented in real time. Subsequent seasons combined the show’s unique and trend-setting format while delivering compelling new elements and attracting talented actors and guest stars, including the Emmy Award-winning Cherry Jones (President Allison Taylor). The series also currently stars Mary Lynn Rajskub (Chloe O’Brian), Anil Kapoor (Omar Hassan), Annie Wersching (Renee Walker), Katee Sackhoff (Dana Walsh), Mykelti Williamson (Brian Hastings), Freddie Prinze Jr. (Cole Ortiz), Chris Diamantopoulos (Rob Weiss) and John Boyd (Arlo Glass).

The first six seasons were set in Los Angeles, and following the strike-induced delay of Season Seven, “24: Redemption,” a two-hour film bridging Seasons Six and Seven, was set in Africa. Washington, D.C. was the setting for Season Seven, and the final season of 24 finds Jack Bauer thwarting a terrorist attack in New York.

At the conclusion of Season Eight, 24 will have a produced a total of 194 episodes (including “24: Redemption”), making it one of the longest-running action television shows in history.

Tune in Monday, March 29 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) for the next all-new installment of 24 and Monday, April 5 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) for a special two-hour episode.

Created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran, 24 is a production of 20th Century Fox Television and Imagine Television in association with Teakwood Lane Productions. Howard Gordon, Evan Katz, David Fury, Manny Coto, Brannon Braga, Brad Turner, Alex Gansa, Kiefer Sutherland and Brian Grazer are executive producers, while Chip Johannessen and Patrick Harbinson serve as co-executive producers. Brad Turner will direct the series finale.

Und Howard Gordon zum Ende der Serie und zu einem Film:

Howard and Kiefer however, will revive the series in a feature film which won’t be a prequel. Target date to have it in theaters is not yet known but Howard said, „I’d hope it would happen sooner rather than later. And I think that’s Keifer’s feeling, too.“

The latest development about the cancellation is the interview between TV MoJoe and Howard about the finale. „We really explored the full spectrum [of possible endings], from Jack’s demise to a happy ending,“ the producer said. „But those seemed reductive. Jack will probably survive.“ Series creators Joel Surnow and Bob Cochran may not run the show anymore but they have been given „the broad outlines“ of how the series will end.

Der soll aber auch nicht so „mittelmäßig“ wie Redemption werden. :-w Dann lieber keinen Film und ein Weltuntergang im Finale – oder einfach nur der Tod von Jack. #vertrag#

Die lassen Bauer nicht sterben. Nie und nimmer. 10 Minuten später würde ein republikanischer Lynchmob vorm Studio stehen.

[Roland Deschain]

Dann eben Kim. Die wollte ich schon seit Staffel 1 tot sehen. Aber das wohl noch eher nicht. #sad#

[Sam Crow]

Wenn die krepiert schalte ich sofort wieder ein.

Laut diversen Meldungen ist der Film aber so gut wie fix, er soll in Europa spielen.

[Sam Crow]

Ein Film, ja. Aber ob der ins Kino kommt steht auf einem anderen Blatt.

[Jack Bauer]

Nein also wenn dann nur ein Kinofilm, ein Tv-Film wie Redemption wirds eher nicht geben.

[Sam Crow]

Genau damit würde ich eher rechnen als mit einem Kinofilm.

[Sam Crow]

Wieviele Folgen sind eigentlich schon abgedreht?

[ClaireB]

Also vor drei Tagen waren sie mitten in den Dreharbeiten zu 23 und 24. #hallo#
