it would be awesome because it would include both palmer and dennis hopper (best 24 villain)
Might be pretty hard to get Hopper to return

On September 28, 2009, Hopper, then 73, was reportedly brought into an unidentified Manhattan hospital by an ambulance wearing an oxygen mask and “with numerous tubes visible.”[54] On October 2, he was discharged, after receiving treatment for dehydration.[55]


Hopper at his Hollywood Walk of Fame Star ceremony, March 2010
On October 29, Hopper's manager reported that Hopper had been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer.[56] In January 2010, it was reported that Hopper's cancer had metastasized to his bones.[57]
On March 18, 2010, he was honored with the 2,403rd star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in front of Grauman's Egyptian Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard.[58] Surrounded by friends including Jack Nicholson, Viggo Mortensen, David Lynch, Michael Madsen, family and fans, he attended its addition to the sidewalk six days later.[59]
As of March 23, 2010, Hopper reportedly weighed only 100 pounds (45 kg) and was unable to carry on long conversations.[60] According to papers filed in his divorce court case, Hopper was terminally ill and was unable to undergo chemotherapy to treat his prostate cancer.[61][62]
Hopper died at his home in the coastal Los Angeles district of Venice on the morning of May 29, 2010 at the age of 74, due to complications from prostate cancer.[63]
Hopper's funeral took place on June 3, 2010 at San Francisco de Asis Mission Church in Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico.[64] He was buried in Jesus Nazareno Cemetery, Ranchos de Taos.[65]
The film Alpha and Omega, which was his last movie role, was dedicated to him; as was the 2011 film Restless, which starred his son Henry Hopper.

This is the best timing in the world. Had just talked my wife into watching the entire series with me about a few weeks ago - and now this news. Sick life.

IT'S CONFIRMED!



Quote:
Following reports that 20th Century Fox were in talks with Kiefer Sutherland to reprise the role of Jack Bauer in a new 24 limited series, it has now been confirmed that the actor will reprise his role as the tough as nails counter terrorist agent. Read on for details!

While fans of 24 had been forced to resign themselves to the fact that they would almost certainly never see Jack Bauer's story concluded on the big screen, Deadline has now confirmed that Kiefer Sutherland has signed up to return as Jack Bauer in the recently announced limited series. The recent and unfortunate cancellation of Touch has obviously ended up being very good news for fans of the drama which aired between 2001 - 2010! An official announcement is expected to be made later today at Fox's upfront presentation, while Brian Grazer has already been confirmed as returning as executive producer. Be sure to stay tuned to CBM for further updates!

UPDATE: It has now been revealed that 24: Live Another Day (that's the official title) will air in May 2014 for 12 episodes. Fox chairman Kevin Reilly told reporters today on a conference call that plans for a movie have been scrapped as compressing the show to only two hours just didn't work. However, this limited series will only take place across 12 hours and while it WILL pan out chronologically, they will also skip hours. Apparently, the studio sees "franchise ability" in 24's return and it could return for another series in 2015.

I think it'd be way better if they just did 12 hours in real time as opposed to 24 hours in 12 episodes where they skip hours. Plots would prob actually be less convoluted this way because you would cut out some of the "bad guy behind the bad guy behind the bad guy who's controlling the mole" stuff that tends to pan out over the 24 hour timeline.

Think about the first 12 hours of Season 1. The whole plot was somewhat believable, focused, and intense.

12 episodes over 24 hours should be better than 12 episodes over 12 hours.

It's functionally the same, but they can pick and choose which hours to skip over. Plot would be the same both ways, because it's the same 12 episodes to work with either way. So it would just be similar to the first half of previous 24 seasons, where you wrap up the story arc before you get to the bad guy behind the bad guy.

But this way you can skip over some of the 1-7 am hours, and focus on 2 daytime periods to work with, like if it's from 3 pm - 3 pm or whatever. They already skipped some of the real-time before anyway, when they cut to commercials. Time would still go on, and you got to pretend like in those 5 minutes, they arrived at their destination or whatever. Same concept, but you can just skip over an hour of boring stuff this way, quite convenient actually.

I agree that the shift to 12 hours will be very good for the show. So hard to keep up the suspense and intensity over 24 episodes without retreading covered ground or descending into nonsense.

I think that the absurdity made the show more awesome.

I would agree to a point. But i went from loving the show in 1-4 to being more and more indifferent as it went on.

edit: season 5 episode 1 aside.

This is the greatest news in the history of the world.

Earlier in the year I bought the box set of 24 and just finished watching every season.

Since then I have gathered nuclear material, infiltrated the US government and am planning an attack. I knew the only way they could stop me was getting Bauer.

Now I get to go to war with the best.

I don't like my chances.

all the seasons were amazing!

seasons 2, 3 and 5 were my favourites.

the first episode of season 5 and the ending of season 5 were the best!

So I'm a big big fan of the two-four. For me it's the GOAT. I may have to get a full re-watch in prior to the new show, but it's hard because there are so many good shows to watch and catch up on.

Off the top of my head here's what I remember about 24 after my real time watch and 2 re-watches (but none in the past few years).

SPOILERS - DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED MAF

Season

1- I remember fairly vividly, Palmer running, Jack, Teri, Kim, etc. Fantastic climax, villain, etc. Jack is a CTU agent and Palmer is a Senator?

2- Comes back so strong - the first huge shock is only a few minutes into the first ep. Kim looks lovely. Cougar storyline w/ Johnny Drama? Nuke, Jack flys it to explode and sacrifice himself but Mason is there...what else? Oh yeah now it's President Palmer and Jack is out of CTU.

3- Jack is back @ CTU but w/ a partner who dates Kim. They go underground in Mexico/Salazar/Prison...some great scenes, lots of moles and a double mole? Nina back and dead or is that S2? I remember liking the hell out of this season.

4- GOAT scene when Jack storms the compound and rescues Heller and Audrey. Jack is now dating her... working for Heller? Also great scene w/ Nuke football (in the desert?) Air Force One is shot down... Habib Marwan! What else?

5- Getting fuzzy... Not sure where Jack is... China? Yes - he gets captured in last ep of S4, no? Tony? Michelle? Hmm.

Stephen Saunders forcing Jack to execute Chapelle still the most chilling moment in the show

Spoiler:
Jack does his thing with China in season 4 and at the end of the season he fakes his own death with the help of Tony, Palmer, Michelle, and Chloe.

Start of season 5 Jack finds out Palmer gets shot and then Chloe calls him and tell him about Tony and Michelle death.

Season 6 is China

Season 7 I think Tony goes bad

haha this sums up my feelings of 24 very accurately. 4>2>1>3>>>5>>>>>>>>>>>>>the rest.

I was a HUGE fan of the show at the start but really lost interest in it by the end. With the exception of a few epic moments (pretty much all of s5 ep 1 and Jack attacking the motorcade) it was just more of the same and suffering badly from diminishing returns.

However, it's been a long time and i'm happy to see the show come back in a shorter format.

I thought it was great in some of the first few seasons but never close to GOAT level.

24hr seasons in 12 episodes sounds really, really good for the show. Although, I half expect they'll have just as much ridiculousness.
