Trailer for 24: REDEMPTION

By: Jarrod Sarafin
Date: Wednesday, September 17, 2008
Source: Fox Official Website

If you caught the re-airing of the pilot of "Fringe", you would have seen the trailer for Fox's upcoming 2-hour prequel 24: Redemption. If you didn't catch it, well, you can check it out by clicking here. The prequel movie will be covering the story arc that they would have used (at one time) for last year had the WGA strike not become true. Instead, the writers opted on turning the storyline into a prequel movie event and ultimately a set-up for what will be taking place next season.

Filmed on location in Cape Town, South Africa, the prequel stars Emmy Award winner Kiefer Sutherland along with new cast members Cherry Jones, Robert Carlyle, Gil Bellows and Academy Award winner Jon Voight.

Plot Concept: After sacrificing everything for his country, Jack Bauer (Sutherland) is wanted by the U.S. government and now stands to lose the only thing he has left: his freedom. Working as a missionary in Africa, Bauer is called upon to stop a ruthless warlord from drafting innocent children into his murderous militia. First, Bauer must confront his own torturous past and face an impossible decision that will change his life forever. A decision that will set the stage and raise the stakes for Season Seven, which debuts in January 2009.

24: Redemption will air Sunday November 23, 2008.

Can't wait! It's been too long since we've seen Jack in action. And a week after Quantum of Solace no less.

I can finally come out of my freezer? 24 back? Nov? Just a few more months....

SSSSWWWWEEEEEEEETTTTTT!!!

Jack is back. Over a year is too long to wait. I am so looking forward to this. And then a short jump until the new season in January.

I agree wholeheartedly. Jack Bauer has been missed. This looks great. I just wonder how they are handling the 24 hour format within the 2 hours. I'm also glad that they decided to stick with the Africa plot since that was the original idea for the new season, and I was bummed when the initially said they scrapped it. I can't wait for 24's return.

And to celebrate the return of 24 and Jack Bauer...

Jack Facts

Jack Bauer wasn't born, he was unleashed.

Because Jack Bauer never fucks up.

Simon Says should be renamed to Jack Bauer Says because if Jack Bauer says something then you better fucking do it.

Jack Bauer went out to the desert, and was bitten by a rattlesnake. The snake died.

There are no such thing as lesbians, just women who never met Jack Bauer.

When Jack Bauer is running, you'd better fucking run as well, if he's chasing you, you should just shoot yourself.

The truth may hurt, but it doesn't hurt as much as Jack Bauer.

Jack Bauer does not need to use a silencer... he just tells his gun to be quiet.

When 24 airs on the Spanish channel everyones lines are translated except for Jack's. The reason for this, nobody speaks for Jack Bauer.

If Jack Bauer misspells a word, your dictionary is wrong.

Jack Bauer doesn't eat honey. He chews bees.

Jack Bauer is the 'i' in team

I'm looking forward to this as well....

Hey, I'm guessing no one at Mania likes the Shield. 3rd week of show and still no review and still waiting on the Terminator review for the week. You guys need to catch up on your DVR shows.

Bryzarro • Sep 17, 2008, 06:38am •
Well stated Pony!

This is the word of the gospel of Jack Bauer!! I'm telling you. When this show is done it's going to be a religion. Look at the following Chuck Norris gets.....wait a minuite...Chuck...Jack.....I'm smelling a movie idea.

Hollywood...are you listening? (Sarcasm)

hanso • Sep 17, 2008, 06:43am •
If Jack Bauer was a Spartan the movie would've been called "One".
Keifer Sutherland drinks to forget the terrible things Jack Bauer has done.
Jack Bauer won a game of Connect 4 in 3 moves.
Terrorists dread the day in October that Daylight Savings Time ends. Jack Bauer gets 25 hours in which to kill them.


Here's hoping 24 is good again.

Hobbs - Not only did they not review it, they don't even mention it in the what's on this week article. The Shield is good enough to be advertised in the site, not good enough for a mention. I still can't believe they reviewed Sons of Anarchy but not one damn mention of The Shield. Sad.

ponyboy76 • Sep 17, 2008, 07:39am •
Good ones Hanso, and I concur about the Shield.

Here are some more.

Jack Bauer once forgot where he put his keys. He then spent the next half-hour torturing himself until he gave up the location of the keys.

If everyone on "24" followed Jack Bauer's instructions, it would be called "12".

Nobody says 'hit me' when Jack Bauer deals Blackjack.

Upon hearing that he was played by Kiefer Sutherland, Jack Bauer killed Sutherland. Jack Bauer gets played by no man.

When Kim Bauer lost her virginity, Jack Bauer found it and put it back.

If you wake up in the morning, it's because Jack Bauer spared your life.

Jack Bauer's calender goes from March 31st to April 2nd, no one fools Jack Bauer.

Superman wears Jack Bauer pajamas.

It's no use crying over spilled milk ... unless that was Jack Bauer's milk. Oh, you are so screwed.

1.6 billion Chinese are angry with Jack Bauer. Sounds like a fair fight.

Jack Bauer played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.

lol pony and hanso

My interest in 24 waned after season 3 but I think with it being off the air for so long may help to build up some interesat in it again.

The Shield is THE show right now. Vic needs to get some balls and set his wife and daughter staright Jack Bauer wouldn't put up with all that bs
