Prison Break Revival at Fox 'Moving Forward' Despite Legends Hurdles https://www.yahoo.com/tv/prison-break-revival-fox-moving-201744124.html
Since Prison Break‘s leading men, Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell, are both committed to Legends of Tomorrow‘s 16-episode freshman run, scheduling Prison Break‘s 10-episode continuation has become something of a challenge, TVLine has learned.Speaking to TVLine Sunday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour in Pasadena, where he was promoting Legends, Purcell confirmed that Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox — the studios behind Legends and Prison Break, respectively — are currently hard at work negotiating the complexities” of a potential deal. But he maintained that the project is “moving forward.“There are a lot of moving parts to that conversation,” Miller concurred, “but we are hopeful that we’ll be able to shoot something this spring. Prison Break is taking its cue from Legends, which is the priority. So we’re aiming for spring.”
The X-Files: Reviews Are In For New Episodes And They’re Not Pretty http://news.yahoo.com/the-x-files-reviews-are-in-for-new-episodes-and-143740986.html
The first reviews for the upcoming X-Files revival are in—and it seems many critics would rather the truth remained out there.Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny have reprised their roles as FBI detectives Dana Scully and Fox Mulder for the six-part miniseries and the buzz around the new episodes has been building for months.With original show creator Chris Carter at the helm, the Lone Gunmen returning and an appearance from The Soup’s Joel McHale, anticipation was high.
Fox goes full revival, orders 'Prison Break' series and '24' pilot https://www.yahoo.com/tv/prison-break-24-coming-back-175400610.html
Fox loves its revivals. With a new season of "The X-Files" about to start and "24" getting a similarly limited season in 2014, the network announced that it's going to bring back "Prison Break" as an "escapist event series." "24" might be coming back, too, but it'll look a little different.We've known that both shows were in the works for a while, but this makes things officially official. Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell will reprise their roles (which means the show might have some explaining to do on how Miller's character is still among the living), apparently having figured out a way to fit it into their busy "Legends of Tomorrow" schedules. The original producing team will be back as well. Fox isn't saying how many episodes we'll get, but last August the network said it would be 10. No word yet on when it'll air.
A New 24 Minus Yvonne Strahovski? Writers Wanted to 'Start From Scratch' http://tvline.com/2016/01/15/24-returns-legacy-no-yvonne-strahovski/
A new 24 without Jack Bauer? That we can kind of understand — Kiefer Sutherland after all has run and gunned through many a very bad day.But given how the show’s most recent incarnation, 24: Live Another Day, positioned Yvonne Strahovski‘s CIA agent Kate Morgan as an heir apparent, it had to be asked: Why will Fox’s newly announced revival, 24: Legacy, be headlined by an all-new character surrounded by not one familiar face?The answer: in short, this is a full-on 24 reboot.According to Fox, Legacy will center on a military hero who encounters a troubled return to the U.S., 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. There are nods in the pilot to prior CTU agents, but no ongoing characters.Agreeing that Strahovski did “a fantastic job” in 24: LAD, Fox co-chair/CEO Dana Walden said that having Kate Morgan lead the next charge “is just not the story that the executive producers came in to pitch us.“We didn’t go them to say, ‘We want a reboot.’ They came in to us to say, ‘We have a fantastic idea,'” Walden explained.
24: Legacy Pilot Ordered By Fox Will Feature New Hero https://www.yahoo.com/movies/24-legacy-pilot-ordered-fox-181906784.html
24 is returning to Fox, but the pilot for 24: Legacy will be missing something: Jack Bauer. Kiefer Sutherland is not set to return for the new series, so far only a pilot, which will feature a new cast, including a new hero.The new hero, who currently doesn't have a revealed name, will be cast African-American, and will be a military hero who works with the CTU to stop a large-scale terrorist attack. Howard Gordon, Manny Coto, and Evan Katz all return to be EPs for 24: Legacy.
Prison Break Revival Is Officially a Go: Updates on Cast, International Setting https://www.yahoo.com/tv/prison-break-revival-officially-latest-175412057.html
Both Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell have signed on to reprise their lead roles, as brothers Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows, while TVLine hears that talks thus far are underway with both Sarah Wayne Callies (now starring on USA Network’s Colony) and Robert Knepper, to return as Sara and T-Bag.Miller and Purcell currently co-star on The CW’s Legends of Tomorrow, which the actors said earlier this week will dictate their window of availability for the Prison Break revival, which is tentatively set to start filming this spring. Originally eyed as a 10-episode event series, Fox is now thinking closer to nine episodes, to begin filming as soon as late March.
New Seasons Of 'Prison Break' And '24' Are Bad Ideas For Very Different Reasons http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertc...tix&partner=yahootix#76d3a0541a2551d4e36d1a25
Yesterday, FOX announced that they’re bringing two of their most famous series back to TV, Prison Break and 24. Apparently due to Prison Break’s massive popularity on Netflix, the decision was made for a revival in the style of The X-Files new mini-run, and the last 24 half-season resurgence. Reportedly the new season of Prison Break will run for about nine episodes, be international, and will star at least the central two brothers, Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), despite the actors both appearing on The CW’s Legends of Tomorrow as a different kind of criminal duo.24, meanwhile, is earlier in the planning stages, but after the mini-season of Live Another Day in 2014, the series is moving on entirely from Jack Bauer, and said to be focused on a new hero, literally described by an exec as “different from Jack Bauer as possible.” The network is said to be looking for a young African-American actor to play the role of a soldier returned home from war, but surprise, he has to stop a terrorist attack on US soil. The show may be called 24: Legacy.Despite both 24 and Prison Break being two of my favorite shows from my teenage years, I am not eager to see either return. These are two bad ideas, drafted in a similar way, but seemingly destined to fail for very different reasons. Why? Where to even begin.(Prison Break and 24 spoilers follow)
24 Vet Kiefer Sutherland Expects 'Extraordinary' Things From Jack-Less Relaunch, Also Hopes for Closure https://www.yahoo.com/tv/24-vet-kiefer-sutherland-expects-222645781.html
Can 24 keep on ticking without Jack Bauer? Should it?Kiefer Sutherland believes that the real-time premise is innately compelling enough to support a Jack-less revival, as Fox is planning with the recently announced 24: Legacy.“I have said from the beginning that the real star of 24 is the idea, and I mean that wholeheartedly,” Sutherland said at the tail end of his recent Q&A with TIFF Artistic Director Cameron Bailey (embedded and handily cued up below). Having structured the series, which ran for an original eight seasons followed by 2014’s Live Another Day revival, around the same character, Sutherland anticipates “pretty extraordinary” things to be born out of the freedom the writers and producers now have.As reported by TVLine, 24: Legacy will revolve around a yet-to-be-cast military hero who upon his return to the States reaches out to CTU to save his life as well as help thwart a massive terrorist attack. Sutherland is in talks to serve as an executive producer on the project.
24 Legacy's 'New Jack': Walking Dead's Corey Hawkins to Star in Fox Reboot https://www.yahoo.com/tv/24-legacys-jack-walking-deads-201542678.html
Corey Hawkins is about to experience the day from hell.The Straight Outta Compton actor — who’s currently recurring on The Walking Dead as Heath — has landed the starring role in 24: Legacy, Fox’s in-the-works reboot of the seminal real-time thriller.Hawkins will portray Eric Carter, a strong and smart former Army Ranger who finds himself pulled back into action as his past comes looking for him. He eventually turns to CTU for help in saving his life and stopping what potentially could be one of the largest-scale terror attacks on American soil.
'The Walking Dead' May Have To Kill A Key Character Thanks To '24: Legacy' http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertc...ahootix&partner=yahootix&ref=yfp#49e09d5efeda
You may have heard the news yesterday that Straight Outta Compton star Corey Hawkins has been cast to play the lead in 24’s new Jack Bauer-less series, 24: Legacy.But Corey Hawkins is also a cast member in one of the biggest shows on TV, The WALKING Dead, and leading a new show may throw the fate of his rather significant character into jeopardy.It was one of the biggest TWD news stories of last year that Hawkins had been cast to play Heath, an Alexandria resident who hadn’t been seen to date, but was a pretty major player in the comics. Many fans believed the show had just written him out, and maybe that was once the plan, but fan outcry had them write him back in, and Hawkins showed up as Heath at the beginning of season six. The story was that he’d just “been out on a supply RUN” for a few weeks, and had missed all the (very significant) events of Alexandria to that point.
The 24 Reboot Just Cast Its Female Lead, Check Her Out http://www.cinemablend.com/television/24-Reboot-Just-Cast-Its-Female-Lead-Check-Her-Out-114297.html
While we won’t have Kiefer Sutherland’s Jack Bauer around to yell at people while being invincible in the upcoming 24: Legacy, the REBOOT is offering up both a male lead and a female lead, and it’s just been announced that actress Miranda Otto will go from the international terrorism of Homeland to a more domestic threat at CTU.Otto will face the clear and present danger as Rebecca Ingram, whose former gig as the head of CTU speaks to her large intelligence and leadership skills. She left THAT LIFE behind and is currently married to the currently not-yet-cast Senator John Donovan, but there’s a PART of her that is having doubts about quitting her old job. Those regrets will likely come into play as the central plotline kicks into high gear, putting her right back in the crossfire.
‘Prison Break’: Mark Feuerstein Joins Fox Event Series http://deadline.com/2016/02/prison-break-mark-feuerstein-fox-event-series-1201706215/
Feuerstein will play Scott Ness, the husband of Dr. Sara Tancredi, the character played by Sarah Wayne Callies on the original series. Callies is in talks to reprise her role in the follow-up — one of several Prison Break fan favorites in discussions to return along with Robert Knepper, Rockmond Dunbar and Amaury Nolasco. There are no deals in place with any of them.Feuerstein’s Ness is a new addition to the Prison Break universe. He is a Professor of Economics (Game Theory) at Cornell. On the surface he is the rather anxious professor who is dubious of government, but proves he’s got significant fight in him when up against it.
Fox's 24: Legacy Pilot Adds The Flash's Teddy Sears as CTU Head Honcho http://tvline.com/2016/02/23/24-legacy-teddy-sears-cast-fox-pilot/
The potential revival-boot centers on Eric Carter (The Walking Dead‘s Corey Hawkins), a military hero who encounters a troubled return to the U.S., compelling him to ask the CTU for help in saving his life, and stopping what potentially could be one of the largest-scale terror attacks on American soil.Per our sister site Deadline, Sears will play Keith Mullins, the ambitious and driven former second-in-command to CTU boss Rebecca Ingram (Homeland‘s Mirand Otto), whom he recently replaced as head of the unit.
’24: Legacy’: Dan Bucatinsky, Coral Pena & Charlie Hofheimer Join Fox Pilot http://deadline.com/2016/03/24-lega...-charlie-hofheimer-join-fox-pilot-1201714780/
Scandal’s Dan Bucatinsky has been cast opposite Miranda Otto and Corey Hawkins in Fox pilot 24: Legacy, which reboots the 24 franchise with brand new characters and cast. Coral Pena (Blue Bloods) and Charlie Hofheimer (Mad Men) also have joined the cast as series regulars.Written by 24 veterans Manny Coto and Evan Katz and directed by Stephen Hopkins (who helmed the original 24 pilot), 24: Legacy chronicles military hero Eric Carter’s (Corey Hawkins) 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.Bucatinsky will play Andy, a communication analyst at CTU who has enjoyed Rebecca’s (Otto) trust and is unhappily paired with bright, young, self-taught computer analyst Gia (Pena). Marcus (Hofheimer) is Eric’s (Hawkins) former partner in the Army Ranger unit, now suffering PTSD.They join previously announced cast members Teddy Sears, Anna Diop and Jimmy Smits.
Prison Break Revival: Augustus Prew, Rick Yune Join Cast http://tvline.com/2016/03/09/prison-break-revival-rick-yune-cast-ja/
Fox’s nine-episode Prison Break revival has added Augustus Prew (The Borgias) and Rick Yune (Marco Polo) in major recurring roles, TVLine has learned.Prew will play a character named Whip, who is described as funny, crazy (read: lethal) and pretty damn sharp. Yune, meanwhile, will portray Ja, a Korean identity thief whose disheveled appearance belies his genius.Series stars Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell have signed on to reprise their lead roles as brothers Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows in the event series, which was greenlit in January. The cast also includes Royal Pains‘ Mark Feuerstein, who’s playing the formidable husband of Sarah Wayne Callies’ Dr. Sara Tancredi. (Callies is in talks to return as Sara, but there’s no deal currently in place.)“The story unravels on an international landscape — it’s not a domestic [plot],” Fox co-chariman/CEO Dana Walden recently shared. “We open on a very international contemporary-feeling story.”Walden said that Fox’s Prison Break continuation will “address” the events of the straight-to-DVD epilogue, The Final Break, in which a major character met his demise. Noting how many times the characters have broken out of prison, “It’s not a documentary!” she laughed.
