    Without Jack, as expected.
    As the potential start of a new revamped 24 series, 24: Legacy will revolve around a military hero’s return to the U.S. and the trouble that follows him back – compelling him to ask CTU for help in saving his life, and stopping what potentially could be one of the largest-scale terror attacks on American soil. Howard Gordon (Homeland, 24), Manny Coto (24) and Evan Katz (24) will serve as executive producers.

    Without Jack Bauer, it isn't 24. Rename it and make it something else.

    Even if it's good, the show will be shat on by everyone

    Plot twist: The big big big BIG bad at the very ends pulling all the strings will be Kim Bauer. (Some crazy revenge plot for the events of season 1)

    Jimmy Smits and Miranda Otto for the new show.

    Post-Homeland, Otto shouldn't find the transition too difficult. :pac:

    First glimpse of Corey Hawkins in Bauer mode, bag included.

    24: Legacy also stars Miranda Otto as Rebecca Ingram, the former head of CTU and the wife of Jimmy Smits’ John Donovan, a powerful senator who is running for President of the United States. Together with Anna Diop as Nicole Carter, Eric’s wife; Charlie Hofheimer as Marcus Grimes, Eric’s former Army Rangers partner now suffering from PTSD; and Teddy Sears as Keith Mullins, the new ambitiously driven head of CTU – joined by Andy (Dan Bucatinsky) and Gia (Carol Peña) as the communication analysts at the Los Angeles branch.

    Trailer



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    Based on the 2 and a half minute trailer, it looks good, really good. I'm sure the show will manage just fine without Kiefer Sutherland in the main role..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,086 ✭✭✭OU812


    I see the man bag has been recast also...

    Looks good.

    Interesting, I wasn't expecting footage any time soon. Some 24 DNA there, but setting out its own stall, maybe slightly more edge than the original, or merely more designed to tell stories reflective a world in 2016? The supporting cast better be interesting, i.e. those providing ops/comms/satellite support. They're half the show, really.

    Would of liked Idris Elba to play the black guy lead personally, think hes a great actor and that role would suit him.
    Guess they wanted a young black guy, looks decent though. Slight 24 about it but looks like its setting its own pace compared to the original series.

    Be nice if Kiefer Sutherland made an appearance for one episode :P

    Mixed reviews, it seems.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,348 ✭✭✭PropJoe10


    Any feedback on this yet? Saw some fairly average reviews, anyone watched it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    I found it very average and full of the obvious cliches.

    No Jack no 24.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,348 ✭✭✭PropJoe10


    Oh dear. Might give it a miss in that case. Disappointing!


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 18,659 CMod ✭✭✭✭The Black Oil


    Thought it was alright.

    - Taser? That's a Bauer move
    - CTU soon to be compromised as ****. What's new?
    - Can't trust the police or FBI, good old 24
    - Teenage subplot, eh...
    - Carter's brother's probably got a Baltimore connect, yo
    - No use of dammit, well, there can't be...

    Think Stephen Hopkins was only name I recognised on the production end.

    Presume like the original show the main threat will be 12-16 episodes, then the final stretch will be another.

    Ugh, not more moles. They seriously need to do away with that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,435 ✭✭✭wandatowell


    Enjoying it so far. It's not a must see by any stretch but I like always liked 24. The CTU tech guy reminds me so much of Ed Helms its off putting.

    And I've forgotten it's on...
