Jack Hawk down!
Seems like the idea of sending Jack to Africa ain’t totally dead yet.
Michael Ausiello over at TVGuide.com today reported that “producers are currently scouting locations in Africa to film scenes for this fall’s two-hour prequel movie.”
The earlier rumors were that Jack would be working on some sort of Habitat for Humanity-type project in Africa as a sort of way for him to forgive himself for all he’d done in his country’s service. Fox had ruled the storyline too expensive, and it might have also forced the show to break its trademark “real-time†format. I mean, as Jack was coming back to the U.S., how many times could you pan to him yelling “Dammit!†on an airplane?
Then the writer’s strike shut down production after eight episodes of the new and improved Season 7, the premiere got pushed back a year, blah, blah, blah. You know all that.
Then we got word of a two-hour movie for the fall that would bridge the two seasons and give fans a dose of Jack Bauer to tide them over.
And now, it appears, 24 will go to Africa after all.
Good? Bad? Somewhere in between? Just happy we’re getting two more hours of 24?

Malaria, Teste-flies, Genocide, and now Jack Bauer. Hasn’t Africa suffered enough?
