24 star Kiefer Sutherland and co-stars Robert Carlyle, Jon Voight, Cherry Jones, Tony Todd, Hakeem Kae-Kazim and Gil Bellows gathered in New York for the world premiere of 24: Redemption, the two-hour television event that bridges the gap between seasons six and seven of the series and is the first new material from the 24 producers in nearly two years.
Filmed on location in South Africa and Los Angeles, the prequel catches up with Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) on the African continent where he has sought solace in missionary work. He soon finds himself in the midst of a bloody uprising in the small fictitious African nation of Sangala where a ruthless dictator is drafting innocent children as soldiers in his army. As the vicious Colonel Dubaku descends on an orphanage in search of recruits, Jack enters into a one-man crusade at the behest of a friend to rescue the children and get them to safety.
The two-hour movie will air Sunday, November 23rd at 8:00PM ET/PT on FOX and will be available on a Special Edition “Extended Cut” DVD featuring over 10 minutes of all-new footage on Tuesday, November 25th.
