Sutherland says he's on for 8th '24' season
Geplaatst op 24 maart 2009 14:56 door gsprimo
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.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Even with the best television – the truly landmark series – there comes a time when fans begin to think about the end (at least I do). Sometimes a series simply becomes a habit – a bad one after three or four years that continues to play out the string to sweeten its syndication deal. Other times, I just lose interest and wonder why I ever started watching a series in the first place. While I admit that I ran through a number of scenarios for the end of 24 over the past few years (mostly after last season), these days I find myself not thinking about what I’ll do with an extra 24 hours per season when the show does come to an end. While I know Kiefer Sutherland’s contract expires after Season 8 – and many characters on 24 tend to expire without warning – as a fan, I’m not ready to replace 24 on my TiVo Season Pass anytime soon. Hopefully, the producers and stars of the show feel the same way.

ON THE EIGHTH DAY…
It shouldn’t come as a surprise to fans of 24, but the show will return for an eighth season/ "We're gearing up for a May start date," 24 executive producer Howard Gordon told E! online. "I'm with the writers now just putting our heads together, coming up with an idea. Unless we fail to come up with an idea that's satisfactory, you'll see an eighth season." Gordon also hinted that Season 8 could be Jack Bauer’s last: “We may decide ultimately if there's not a movie [story] worth telling, Jack may see his last day on television," he said. "He could die in the series. I think that's possible."
