I-play have signed a multiyear contract with FOX to develop a series of mobile java games, wallpapers and ring tones based on the show.
In the first game, an encrypted message sent to the North Korean consulate is intercepted by CTU agent Chloe O'Brian that implicates the North Koreans in a possible attack on the U.S.A. The North Korean government refutes their involvement in any such operation and adds that any action taken against their people or their consulate regarding these outlandish accusations will be seen as an act of war. Using your "Spy Phone" you will contact, assign, and guide Jack Bauer and other CTU agents through a series of mini-games and puzzles. But choose wisely – the clock is ticking and each mission and decision you make affects how the story unfolds! Can you discover who is behind the threat and stop them before it's too late? Official Site Trailer Press Release Interview with Developers 1 Interview with Developers 2 Interview with Developers 3
In the second game, CTU headquarters is under siege and all of the agents are being held hostage by terrorists! The NOC list has been compromised and a fellow agent is down. You must infiltrate the terrorists using the sniping and computer skills of Curtis and Chloe. Regain control of CTU and begin your hunt for the list, protecting the identities of your fellow agents. The clock is ticking… Official Site Trailer Press Release
Players take on the role of CTU Agent Parker, racing time to collect clues and win on-screen "mini-game challenges." Each game begins with a terrorist act; the CTU agents are then briefed and given several clues regarding the terrorists' full plans. Each player decides which clues to follow, knowing that some will be dead ends or red herrings. The first player to identify and stop a threat to national security wins. Throughout the game, the DVD also acts as a timer, counting down the 24 hours to the terrorist attack that the players are working to prevent. A "virtual CTU office" allows players to analyze data. Future expansions are promised, adding new cases to be solved. Pack includes DVD, game board, game cards, label sheet and player tokens. “A true interactive experience is about game play, not trivia. For example, it isn’t about Season 1 or Season 2; it’s about you stopping a terrorist threat.” Click Here To Purchase From Amazon.com

The worldwide success of the Fox Television series "24," starring Kiefer Sutherland, is expanding its reach into the wireless world of the personal cellular telephone. This new cell phone version of "24," launched in January 2005, is titled "24: Conspiracy" and features the music of John Massari. "24: Conspiracy" is a series of 24 sixty-second "mobisodes" available exclusively on the Vodafone cellular phone network reaching 23 European countries. The mobisodes are based on the popular TV series and star Beverly Bryant as Susan Walker, Dylan Bruce as Martin Kail, and Steve Kramer as James Sutton. In the United Kingdom, the release of "24: Conspiracy" coincided with the U.K. premiere of the fourth season of the popular "24" television series. Composer John Massari creates an intense, dark and suspenseful score for each of the 24 "mobisodes" for this innovative new series. Massari utilizes traditional orchestral instruments with a dark techno edge that gives the series a very powerful emotional impact. His marriage of tradition and technology is the perfect combination to highlight the suspenseful sequences, and provides immense depth to the conspiracy as we see it develop through the many twists and turns in the plot.

Following on the success of previous 24 offerings-including 24 Stories and 24: Midnight Sun-IDW Publishing is presenting 24: Nightfall, an all-new six-issue mini series featuring everybody's favorite Federal Agent-Jack Bauer. If you thought Jack Bauer had rough days started with the first season of 24, think again. 24: Nightfall is a prequel to the on-going hit Fox television series. Before the clock started ticking on season one, Jack Bauer was the head of an elite Special Forces team sent to take down the mass murderer Victor Drazen. Not an easy mission by any means, especially in the war-torn former Yugoslavia. Events quickly spiral out of control, as the hunters become the hunted—and the true facts of the pivotal Operation: Nightfall are revealed. 24: Nightfall is a six-issue mini series premiering in November and is written by J.C. Vaughn and Mark L. Haynes, the team that brought you 24: Midnight Sun, and with art by Jean Diaz. IDW: Why tell a story that takes place before the timeline already established by 24 the television series? J.C. Vaughn: Good question, but this timeline was established by the series. The events of Day One (Season One) take place two years to the day after this mission. What happened that day in Jack Bauer's life (and Senator David Palmer's, too) was Victor Drazen's revenge for the events that are the backbone of our story. Mark L. Haynes: From a storytelling standpoint, this mini-series is the "cause" that goes along with the devastating "effects" that Season One has for Jack Bauer and the other characters. From a fan's viewpoint, this story is being told in order to answer the all-important question of "why?" Why is Victor Drazen out to destroy David Palmer and Jack Bauer? Why does Jack act the way he does? The comics can explore all that. IDW: What are the constraints of writing a story based on a well-established property such as 24? And what liberties due you feel that you have writing 24 within the comic book medium? MLH: Far from a constraint, a well-established property allows substantially more freedom. All good stories are based, in large measure, on the motivations of the characters. After five seasons of the show, our writing is governed by the simple question: "What would Jack Bauer do?" From there, the comic book medium allows us to show Jack operating in a wider world. While his actions certainly have global impact, comics allows us to take Jack out of the L.A. area and drop him into any situation to reinforce just how good he is at his job. JCV: Rather than think of constraints, it's more fun to take the situation as a positive. 24 is the one comic I don't have to sketch before I script. The visual paradigms of the show are well established in the readers' minds, too, so we're not re-inventing the wheel here. Mark and I plot it very, very tightly, because frankly as fans of the show that's what we would demand if we were reading it instead of writing it. Once we're plotted, that frees us to do one thing-concentrate on the craft of writing, creating the best additions to the world of 24 that we can. IDW: What is it that makes Jack Bauer "tick," so to speak? What separates him from the countless other tough-guy maverick heroes of page and screen? JCV: It's like those internet jokes: Jack Bauer once lost his car keys and tortured himself for a half hour until he confessed where the keys were. And he makes onions cry. Seriously, though, Jack Bauer is a relentless, purpose-driven patriot who knows that there are scary people out there who want to kill us simply because we're American and/or they can make some money doing it. MLH: While there are similarities between Jack Bauer and characters like John McClane (Die Hard) and Martin Riggs (Lethal Weapon), Jack differs in that he's not a loner when it comes to a mission, and he is not inclined to take chances if there is any other possible way to solve a crisis. IDW: So why is it that no one seems to have a worse day than Jack Bauer? What is it that Jack could have possibly done in a previous life to deserve such horrible periods of 24 hours? MLH: There are people that have worse days than Jack. They're the insurance adjusters that show up the next day. JCV: Jack is a high caliber problem solver. The problem with solving difficult problems effectively is that you generally are then given even more difficult problems to solve. Nobody sends the lady at the DMV, whose main decision is whether to look put out or just disinterested, to deal with the terrorists who have just taken over the In and Out Burger down the street from Meltdown Comics. They send Jack Bauer. Or one of us, but only because it's near a comic shop. Check Here For The Latest Developments Click Here To Pre Order The Collection From Amazon.com 24: ONE SHOT
Fox Television's
"24" is known for its unique format where each episode of the
series equates one hour worth of story, with a full season detailing the
events of a terrorist threat played out in a single day. Focusing on the
Los Angeles branch of the Counter Terrorism Unit, "24" is
filled with high action and suspense. The show stars Kiefer Sutherland
as CTU agent Jack Bauer, a character that's been dubbed by many fans as
the "manliest man alive" due to the sheer number of times he's
escaped imminent death. This July, Jack Bauer gets his chance to prove
his worth on the printed page. "24: One
Shot" is a 48-page, full color, squarebound graphic novella coming
from IDW Publishing this July. In keeping with tradition, the comic
itself will keep to the unique time format, where two pages of printed
story will equal one hour of time. "24: One Shot" is written
by J.C. Vaughn and Mark L. Haynes of "Battlestar Galactica"
fame with art by "CSI: Miami" artist Renato Guedes. "24"
joins a number of other high-profile licensed properties at IDW,
including television programs "The Shield" and "CSI"
and the film "Underworld." In "24: One
Shot," CTU agent Jack Bauer has to protect a beautiful and deadly
terrorist for twenty-four hours, but after an attack by her former
friends, he has only one bullet left in his gun. Will Jack save the day?
Viewers of the television show know that with "24," no one is
ever safe. "We at IDW are big fans of the series 24," Editor-in-Chief Jeff Mariotte said in a press release. "We had some difficulty at first trying to figure out how the ticking clock element, so crucial to the show, would work on the printed page. But J.C. Vaughn and Mark Haynes had some ideas, and they convinced us that it could work. We teamed them up with Renato Guedes, who does some of the best actor likenesses ever, and we think the book will be every bit as entertaining as the TV series."

Summer is coming in a couple of months. This means
sun, picnics, and, unfortunately, hiatus for most of our favorite
television shows. Loyal viewers of quality programs will be forced to
suffer through reruns and whatever reality-TV fluff the networks care to
air. Thankfully, IDW Publishing will help alleviate some of our pain by
publishing "24: Midnight Sun" this July. CBR News contacted
the writers of this one-shot - J. C. Vaughn and Mark L. Haynes - to find
out what new crisis has Jack Bauer running against the clock this time. Haynes added, "I should have finished my script for J.C.'s '21st Century Romances' by now, and I probably would have if I had been listening more closely. I thought he said 'Twenty 1st Century Romances' and ended up doing this biblical kind of thing before I realized the mistake. Oh, well." Click Here To Purchase 24: Midnight Sun

The crew try to keep all the cameras at eye-level to add an extra level of realism? The writers and producers had wanted to have President John Keeler die in the crash of Air Force One, however, network executives vetoed that idea and at the conclusion of the Season he was comatose? The writers had the President's 19 year old son, Kevin, die in the crash, though. In the fifth Season, Keeler's Vice President is the permanent President and in an interview on Charlie Rose, Kiefer Sutherland disclosed that Keller was dead but they were never aloud to say it on screen.

Finally, the one that was aired had Nina shoot and kill Teri. The first ending is available as an extra on the Season One DVD. Because of all the extras needed in the Season Two finale, the crew had to shoot an extended scene where Palmer collapses and then stands back up to stop all of the extras going off and revealing the finale? Rumors suggest that a deleted scene originally had Season Three ending with Chase Edmunds getting killed while he was having his hand re-attached in the hospital? Michelle was originally intended to commit suicide in her car after learning that Tony had been killed in an explosion but the writers decided to keep her death until the first episode of Season Five as a way to catapult us into the Season ahead? The original blueprint called for Season Four to end with Jack being sent to a prison in Shanghai for his part in a deadly assault on a Chinese embassy?
