24 Jack Bauer

Welkom bij deze club 24 die in het teken van 24 met Jack Bauer staat. Het seizoen is voorbij en we wachten nu. Het zal wel lang duren voordat het op RTL5 kan komen. Dit door de lange schrijversstaking. In Amerika gaan ze seizoen 7 precies een heel jaar later uitzenden als de bedoeling was vanaf begin 2009. In Nederland volgen we altijd met een paar maanden achterstand, dit is verplicht. De inhoud van elke uitgezonden aflevering staat [in het engels] bij het nieuws in een aparte map. Ik hoop dat er veel fans van deze succesvolle serie langs komen hier als het weer op tv is bij RTL in 2010. loes2001

Sutherland says he's on for 8th '24' season

HONG KONG - Kiefer Sutherland will be back to play Jack Bauer for an eighth season of the hit counterterrorism drama "24," but the show's longevity will depend on its writers, the actor said Tuesday.

The 42-year-old said "24," currently in its seventh season, will start shooting its eighth in May. He spoke during an interview in Hong Kong to promote the new 3-D animated movie "Monsters vs. Aliens," in which he voices the character of General W.R. Monger.

Sutherland, whose gritty portrayal of the counterterrorism agent has made Bauer an iconic character, said he's committed to the show that's revived his career.

"If I was going to liken '24' to a girlfriend, '24' has been really good to me. And I need to be really good back," Sutherland said.

"There are plays I want to do. There are so many different things I would like to do, but I was so fortunate to be part of something like '24' that my focus is still on that right now," he said.

Sutherland said the show's future also hinges on its writers' ability to shape its story.

"The real pressure is placed on the writers. It's a real question about how much they feel they can give and what they can do," he said.

Sutherland, whose movie credits include "Young Guns" and "A Few Good Men," said he hasn't thought much about his career after "24" and isn't worried about being typecast as a Bauer-like government agent.

"I will do the work I want to do and people can accept it or not," he said.

Working as a voice actor on "Monsters vs. Aliens" was a "fantastic counterbalance" to playing Bauer, he said.

"The relief was unbelievable. For five days a week, 14 hours a day, I'm doing Jack Bauer on '24' and then for five hours on the weekend, I got to kind of proverbially let my hair down and play this character and talk like that and be a kid. I felt like a 5-year-old," said Sutherland, simulating the deep, raspy voice of his character.

"Monsters vs. Aliens," which is about a jailed group of monsters who are freed to help battle an alien robot, opens in U.S. theaters Friday.

Fox stopt met serie 24, maar film in aantocht LOS ANGELES -  Fox TV stopt met de hitserie 24, maar een film over de Amerikaanse antiterreureenheid CTU is in aantocht. De Amerikaanse zender toont de laatste aflevering van het lopende achtste seizoen op 24 mei.

Dat maakte hoofdrolspeler Kiefer Sutherland bekend. Hij vertolkt de rol van agent Jack Bauer, die in elke reeks een terroristisch complot moet voorkomen.

Fox besloot met de reeks te stoppen wegens dalende kijkcijfers. De actieserie begon in 2001 en was spraakmakend omdat in 24 afleveringen de gebeurtenissen van een volledig etmaal werden getoond.

24 werd onderscheiden met 68 Emmy Awards, waaronder die voor beste dramaserie in 2006. De jongste episode trok echter nog geen negen miljoen kijkers in de Verenigde Staten, tegen gemiddeld net iets meer dan 13 miljoen vorig seizoen.
