We certainly have some TV action today, don't we Maniacs? Another bit of information has passed the news wires informing us that Tony Todd (Candyman, Final Destination) will be joining the 2 hour prequel movie as well as season 7 of "24" for Fox. Two others cast in the prequel movie are Eric Lively ("L Word") and Gil Bellows ("Ally McBeal").
The two hour prequel movie is based on the original story concept for season 7, which should have run last year (if there wasn't a WGA strike). 24 producers wanted to have the 7th season out of country but the budget proved too big for Fox executives so they axed it. With the strike delaying the series for another year, everyone agreed to introduce the Africa storyline back into the series with a 2 hour prequel movie to set up season 7.
Plot Concept: The two-hour "24" prequel to the upcoming seventh season will feature Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) battling an international crisis in Africa while the U.S. ushers in a new president on Inauguration Day. Lively, brother of "Gossip Girl" star Blake Lively, will play the president's son. Bellows will play a State Department officer ordered to serve Bauer with a subpoena to appear before the Senate. Todd, who also will appear during Season 7, will play cruel African dictator Gen. Juma.
