Trailer: 24 - LIVE ANOTHER DAY

Sunday 9 March 2014

Fox have released the first trailer for 24: Live Another Day (the miniseries "event series" revival of their popular action thriller), which sees Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) defeating terrorists in London during a diplomatic visit from the President of the USA (William Devane). This is only a 34-second glimpse at the new show, but it looks comfortably familiar. I don't expect them to reinvent the wheel with 24:LAD, but perhaps they'll manage to grease some gears: thanks to the halved number of episodes (less filler, the opportunity to jump dull periods) and the location shooting in the real-life UK capital (the show has always filmed in Los Angeles, even when events were supposedly set in Washington D.C and New York).

What do you make of this trailer? 24: LAD returns 5 May on Fox, and soon after on Sky1 in the UK.
