Also, the fact that Sutherland actually has the balls to make a 24 movie without any of the supporting players from the early seasons that helped to make the show good/popular sickens me.

Does Kiefer actually really think he can carry a movie on his own? He can't. Hell, no one went to see The Sentinel, in which he played the same damn character he plays on 24, and that had Eva Fucking Longoria in it, not to mention Michael Douglas. What the hell makes makes Kiefer think people'll rush to the box office to see an R-Rated real-time version of it? The show has used just about every terrorist plot twist they can think of, and by every, I mean nuclear bombs and assassination attempts.

Here's my plot predictions for Season 7:

Terrorists try to set off a nuclear bomb, but that's just a cover for a planned assassination, which is itself just a cover for an even bigger bomb, which is just a diversion for several more assassination attempts. Initally, the terrorists are shown to be Chechens, but they're actually being controlled by American Illuminati who are being controlled by the Chinese who are being controlled by the Russians who are being blackmailed by the original Chechens.

Along the way, loyalties will be called into question, Jack employ tactics that clearly violate the Geneva Convention, familiar faces will suddenly resurface and die ten seconds later, and Jack will be forced to go dark several times because he decides he doesn't want to follow orders.

This may sound like a blatant rehash of stuff they've already done, but it isn't. See, next season will take place in a new city, so we'll all be so taken in by the subtle changes in setting that we won't even notice that show has completely transformed itself from unique action thriller to silly pulp trash.

I throughly enjoy old school Kiefer: The Lost Boys, Young Guns, Bright Lights Big City, Stand By Me...

But Kiefer wasn't the lead in any of those movies. He's an ensemble player.

What's this Day Zero thing I keep seeing ads for on IMDB?

Quote:

"Tony's uncertain fate near the end of 'Day 5' left the door open for his return," said executive producer/show-runner Howard Gordon.

Didn't Jack specifically say Tony was dead last season though, when he confronted his brother? I know it was mentioned at one point. Both men are masters of intel, you'd think at least one of them would have known he was still alive.

Interesting note. Target has the first 5 seasons of 24 on sale last week. The first four seasons were on sale for $25.99, the 5th season was on sale for $19.99. As the newest available season, Day 5 should be the most expensive. The fact that it was the cheapest further supports my claim that it was THE WORST SEASON EVAR.

Day One often goes on sale for $19.99 as well, ostensibly because it's been out so long.

At any rate, I am so there for this season. But if it conflicts with Heroes again, 24 is the one getting taped/torrented.

The movie will never see the light of day. Because the movie has to be made after the show is off the air and at that point Bauer's popularity will have wained enough for it not to be the great idea it was two years ago.

Not necessarily. They keep telling us there's going to be a second X-Files movie, and dammit, it just might happen.
