24 - Has it nuked the fridge

24 has been going for a good few seasons and some of the storylines have been a little over the top. However, Kiefer is always solid and the format still works.

The show jumping the shark, nuking the fridge etc is nothing to do with the storyline. It is to do with the following piece of casting.

Freddie Prinze Jr. is joining the cast of Fox's 24 as CTU's head of Field Ops. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he'll play David Cole, "a recently returned Marine who...wants to follow in Jack Bauer's (Kiefer Sutherland) footsteps."

That's right. Scooby Doo's Fred, The Wing Commander himself is joining 24.

Kiefer Sutherland talks about possibility of a 24 movie

Collider chatted to Keifer Sutherland about various things. They asked whether he would make a 24 film or animated series. Here is what he said:

I’ve never thought about an animated series. We thought that it would always be cruel and unusual punishment to ask the writers to write, in the course of ten months, the equivalent of twelve films and in their off time if you’ve got a great idea for a feature film that’s so special write that as well. So we’ve kind of collectively agreed that we would entertain the idea of a film when the series was finished. And if people still wanted to see something like that we would be really excited to do it because the format we would make the movie in – cause we have discussed it – would be a two hour representation of a twenty-four hour day. So we would lose the real time aspect which would be a huge freedom for the writers. But it’s something we would not even start to do until the series was finished.

8 Kilomètres, Dial Hard and Vingt-Quatre Heures are the originals. Someone call Eminem, Bruce Willis and Keifer Sutherland

Did you enjoy watching 8 Mile, Die Hard and 24? Did you love the originality of them all.

What if I was to say they were all based on forgotten classic films from the 1960's and below is the proof.

You would no doubt say, "No Live for Films, they are not, you are being silly. They are in fact clever little adverts based on the 2 films and TV show you mentioned done in the style of 1960's films. Don't try and fool us again with your clever ruse."

I would then say, "Oh! Look at the monkey." I would then run off and jump into a waiting taxi.

You would be right though. However, they are nicely done spoofs, riffs, homages on the 3 classics. They are from http://www.smoothoriginals.com and are ads for Stella Artois 4%. In fact they are not the full advert, they are simply teasers for the 4 minute ads which are due out next week. Cheers to Jonathan for sending them my way. Let me know what you think of them.

Inspector MeQlain plays a deadly game of Simon Says in 'Dial Hard'

The clock is ticking for Jacques in 'Vingt-Quatre Heures'
