Finally some details about the Season 7/Day 7 prequel, now called "24: Exile". FOX Entertainment President, Kevin Reilly, revealed some information about the movie:
"“I think it was just an opportunity,” says Reilly. “We were going to be off the air for a while and how do you bridge that gap. We thought about doing something online and after talking with [executive producer] Howard [Gordon] we decided to do it on air.”"
“It’s the day of the election of the president and swearing in,” he adds. “It’s a self-contained two hours.”
Jack Bauer star Kiefer Sutherland had this to say:
"It sets up the conflict that starts in the prequel and is carried all the way through Season 7."
If this information wasn't enough, how about a trailer?
Yes Tom Lennox, the VP (Powers Boothe), a brief glimpse of Robert Carlyle, an even briefer glimpse of Jon Voight and of course Cherry Jones as the new female president. Awesome!
