Habla Manny Coto, co-productor de la serie.
Traducción de los puntos interesantes a destacar:Where's Jack Bauer going to start Hour 1 of next season on 24?
Co-Exec producer Manny Coto says:
Jack starts next season in a very different place than any season so far. Let's put it this way: I wouldn't be surprised if there's no CTU next year. CTU has almost become too comfortable, you know? "We need to carry out this operation - Chloe, grab satellite X and get us a feed!" That's gone.
We're pulling the rug out from under our characters. It's a pretty radical shift - a totally different context with a totally different villain. There will not be a ticking clock on a nuclear device. We're hewing much closer to real life: tighter, more personal, more difficult for Jack.
There may even be a plot thread that doesn't take place on U.S. soil.
In a sense, it's a reboot - in location and personnel. We're going to be introducing a new stable of characters, along with a couple of old ones. Jack's not living under an alias. He's found a place he thinks he belongs and a job he enjoys doing that doesn't involve the government.
What's also refreshing is the choice of villain: it's not a Muslim terrorist. In fact, it's not a terrorist at all. And the character is fascinating, someone with a supremely dark past who's done something horrific. And whose ambition is to regain his stature in the world. I just can't say enough how exciting it is. It's going to be pretty damn cool.
- Jack empezará la temporada en un sitio diferente, siendo él mismo, bajo ninguna identidad secreta y con un nuevo empleo, lejos de la CTU, y que no tiene que ver con el gobierno. De hecho, dice que no se sorprendería si no aparece en toda la temporada la CTU en absoluto.
- El argumento podría desarrollarse no sólo en USA. No habrá ningún tipo de arma nuclear ni terroristas arabes ni nada de eso. Quieren acercarse mucho más al ámbito de lo "cercano a la realidad".
- La nueva temporada sera como un "reinicio". Nuevos personajes (alguno viejo que volverá), nuevos sitios, nuevo villano con nuevas aspiraciones.
- El villano no será un terrorista. Será alguien con un pasado terrible, que ha hecho algo espantoso, y que pretenderá recuperar el sitio que ocupaba antes en el mundo (¿Logan?..... esperemos que no. Repetir villano no creo que sea buena idea. Ademas, lo que hizo este villano parece ser más terrible que el pasado de Logan).
