Tell Me What I Need to Know!!!
Monday, August 21st, 2006And now for some 24 rumors!
Spoiler warning! (by request)
First, Fox has confirmed they have been talking to the city of New York to have parts of the next season filmed there. This would be the first time Jack Bauer has saved another city besides Los Angeles.
However, the New York Times reported that in an interview with Kiefer Sutherland (the actor that plays Jack Bauer in the Fox series (duh)), Kiefer says that Jack will be much more concerned with “…saving his own ass” in the next season. So this may be the first time Jack doesn’t worry about saving a city at all. While the last season left off with Jack in a frieghter bound for China, Fox has already said that there will not be time to have the season appear in an over-seas location. Obviously, the show can not take place in both New York and Los Angeles, because of time constrants, unless the writers seperate the actors in two different cities. While possible, this is unlikely.
The same NY Times article revealed that Kiefer’s real name is Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland. Damn… There’s a mouthful.
Lastly, Regina King was cast to play Wayne Palmer’s wife. Who is Regina King? Well, she was in Miss Congeniality 2 and does several voices on the Cartoon Network show Boondocks. Um, yeah… Who cares! Fans of the show just like to know Wayne Palmer will be back, and that his wife might allow for some more of those “Sherry Palmer moments” we so enjoy.
For the record, Jack is up to 112 kills in the five seasons (not including killing himself that one time) and 44 in the last season, which is more than any previous. Only four chartacters have been in all four seasons (alive), Jack Bauer himself, Tony Almeida, David Palmer and Aaron Pierce. Only Aaron and Jack remain alive for season five (so far). These facts are also from the NY Times article, which I highly encourage fans to check out.
