24 Coming Back To TV; Kiefer Sutherland In Talks To Return As Jack Bauer
Well, we may never get that movie, but the cancellation of Touch means that 20th Century Fox have decided to move ahead with a 24 limited series which will bring back Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer. Hit the jump for details!
As you guys will know by now, I'm a huge fan of 24. Ever since the show ended on an extremely unsatisfying note, I - along with many other fans - have been impatiently waiting for a movie which has been promised and delayed numerous times. Well, Deadline now reports that that Fox are planning to bring it back to the small screen as a limited series. Kiefer Sutherland is said to be in "early talks" to return, while they add that "the idea is to start from scratch with a new story arc that will likely be supervised by former 24 showrunner Howard Gordon.". They're all the details we have for now, but here's hoping that this isn't yet another false alarm for fans desperate to once again hear that iconic clock ticking down. Stay tuned for further updates!
