Fox Is In Talks To Bring Back “24” And Would Also Love To Do A Revival Of “Glee”
You’ll never guess what Hollywood is up to! Oh, honey, you wanted a twist? Well, you’re never going to get one. The people at Fox are in “active creative discussions” to bring back 24, which starred Kiefer Sutherland. 24 has already been brought back twice: as a limited series and a remake that starred Corey Hawkins. But now Fox is thinking about how to bring Kiefer back into the world of highly-time-sensitive anxiety-inducing terrorist drama. They’re also thinking about bringing other Fox hits back like Glee! Wow, and my skin just finished growing back after crawling off from the first version of that show.
Every Show Has Been Cancelled
On the heels of FOX announcing that it’s finished off Brooklyn Nine-Nine (BUT NBC HAS SAVED IT FROM DEATH!), The Last Man On Earth, and The Mick, the other networks have released their own kill lists. Fans of Glee-like shows except serious with murky lighting (Rise), suspiciously attractive FBI cadets with big busts and even bigger secrets (Quantico), and Kiefer Sutherland as POTUS-in-danger (Designated Survivor) are shit out of luck today. Those shows, and several others, have been thrown in the garbage, according to EW. Continue reading
Here’s The Trailer For The “Flatliners” Sequel That I Forgot Was Happening
In 2015, it was announced that Hollywood, the Land of No Original Ideas, reached into a bag of past movies to butcher and pulled out Flatliners. It was announced that a remake of Flatliners starring Ellen Page was in the works. Info about more casting has been dropped along the way, but I mostly forgot it was happening until today when the trailer came out.
Freddie Prinze Jr. Says That Working With Kiefer Sutherland Made Him Want To Quit Acting
Looks like we got ourselves an old-fashioned nepotism fight! In this corner, Freddie Prinze’s has-been C-list heartthrob from the 90s son…Freddie Prinze Jr.! In the opposite corner, Donald Sutherland’s alcoholic Christmas Tree-choking heartthrob from the 80s son…Kiefer Sutherland! Let’s keep it clean, fellas. Just kidding, take as many nasty swipes as you’d like!
Freddie Prinze Jr. was at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend to promote the Disney XD series Star Wars Rebels (I bet he plays a popular-yet-sensitive droid named “Bro2D2”), but he’s apparently still very butthurt from the time he played Cole Ortiz on 24, because he took a moment during an interview with ABC News (via People) to rail hard on his former co-star Kiefer Sutherland:
“I did 24, it was terrible. I hated every moment of it. I just wanted to quit the business after that. So, I just sort of stopped. Kiefer was the most unprofessional dude in the world. That’s not me talking trash, I’d say it to his face. I think everyone that’s worked with him has said that.”
“I went and worked for Vince McMahon at the WWE, for Christ’s sake … but, at least he was cool and tall. I didn’t have to take my shoes off to do scenes with him, which they made me do [at 24]. Just put the guy on an apple box or don’t hire me next time. You know I’m 6 feet and he’s 5’4.”
As much as I love a shady ho from the past who don’t give a flying She’s All That fuck, Freddie needs to watch his mouth and have a seat! Bitch, you were in Delgo! But I do appreciate the creativity in his excuse for why he went from A-list teen star to “The dude from American Pie, right? Am I close?” Freddie Prinze Jr. claiming that he stopped acting because he didn’t like Kiefer Sutherland is almost as good an excuse as Josh Hartnett’s “I stopped acting because I didn’t want to be Superman.” All we need is an excuse from Andrew Keegan, and we’re on our way to a BuzzFeed article.
And Kiefer has yet to publicly respond to his comments, but I’m sure he’s throwing hungover still drunk shade at Freddie from underneath an old Christmas tree somewhere.
Kief Being Kief
Kiefer Sutherland was photographed running drunk and shirtless through the streets of London last night after being ejected from a strip club. The above is not a picture from last night, but Kiefer looked just like that sans the delicate pink flower growing out of his peen hole. Sadly, there were no flowers last night.
The Sun says that it all started out pretty mellow for Kiefer. He had a couple of bottles of wine with a friend at the bar of The Covent Garden Hotel. At around 2am, Kiefer had the choice to either retire to his room and pass out on his bed, or continue the boozery by visiting a pussy shaking club. Since Charlie Sheen is in rehab and one teen idol from the 80s must represent fuckery at all times, Kiefer chose the latter.
Kiefer showed up at Stringfellows Gentlemen Club at 2am and a source said he “went bananas, shouting nonsense and dancing like Peter Crouch before kicking off when asked to leave.”
In case you don’t know what the Peter Crouch dance is, here you go. It’s kind of like a fluid version of the Suri Dance.
He was escorted out of the club by security at around 3:30am. He sat in the back of his car for 30-minutes until he eventually stumbled back to his hotel.
No Christmas trees were murdered, and no fashions designers were headbutted, so if you ask me it was a pretty good night for Kief.
The Christmas Trees Have Won!
Fox is expected to announce that 24’s time is finally up and its 8th season will be its last. This is what Variety says. They are saying that Fox will release a statement in the next couple of days announcing that 24 has been canceled. I guess this isn’t exactly pube-pulling news and many saw it coming.
Apparently, 24’s ratings aren’t what they used to be and the show costs too much to produce. Fox also wants to begin production on a 24 movie and they can’t go forward with this until the show is off the air.
I don’t think I’ve seen one episode of 24, but I have a friend (yes, I have one friend) who is on that shit like a wolverine on a tree. One time I called him to go and get a waffle cone with me and his response was, “Fuck off. 24 is on.” So the next time I invite him out for a waffle cone, I can say, “Fuck on. 24 is off!”
And I’m re-thinking the title of this post. I think the Christmas trees have lost. Now that Kiefer Sutherland has more free time, he will most likely spend his days and nights tackling any Christmas tree he comes across!
QUICK! Get all the Christmas trees to the safe house. By the “safe house,” I mean my mom’s backyard. Seriously, every year my mom always misses the deadline for Christmas tree pick-up, so she just throws it in her backyard with the others. It’s like a refugee camp for Christmas trees back there.
