RUNNING WITH JACK BAUER

run

Mark Cooper of Edinburgh, Scotland, will attempt to set a world record for the longest run on a treadmill – 161 miles – in one day. To do it, Cooper plans to have CTU agent Jack Bauer to keep him company by watching a complete season as he puts one foot in front of the other. “I’m going to use all the tricks and ideas I can come up with to try and get through,” Cooper told the Scottish website STV. “One of the tricks I’m going to use to actually get through it is I’ve got every episode of 24 for one series, so in 24 hours I should just be able to watch the whole series and that’ll be me at the end on Friday night.” Cooper, 28, an elite runner who ran 50 marathons across Europe in 56 days last year, will also reportedly be raising money for Funding Neuro, a charity dedicated to funding research for neurological disorders. The current record holder is Arulanantham Suresh Joachim who ran 160.24 miles on a treadmill in Canada in 2004.

24 STAR NAMED ONE OF HOLLYWOOD’S BEST

ks

If you didn’t already recognize Kiefer Sutherland as one of the best actors working today (though we’d like to see him working on a 24 movie soon!), Screen Junkies has made it official by ranking the 24 star at No. 4 – just after action legend Charles Bronson (3) and ahead of 300’s Gerard Butler (5) – on its Top 10 list of Hollywood’s top actors. The site writes of Sutherland: “From playing a mullet-haired vampire in The Lost Boys to a detective in 24, Kiefer proves he has his daddy’s talent-and plenty of his own attitude-to stand the test of time.” The list was weighted heavily toward action – Sylvester Stallone took top honors (though Arnold Schwarzenegger was absent from the list) – which is just fine with us. And since we’re celebrating Sutherland’s Bauer Power – don’t let the clock run out on a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a shirt Sutherland wore on-screen during Season Eight of 24 (episode 9:00 a.m. – 10 a.m.) from VIP Fan Auctions. The auction ends July 26 – and so far, this piece of TV history is still available at an incredibly reasonable price. Click here for more information or to place your bid today!

NOBODY DOES IT BAUER

Jack
During an interview with Deadline.com to mark their 25 years together as two of Hollywood’s most prolific producing partners, Ron Howard and Brian Grazer were asked to recall their first memories of various television series – which include Friday Night Lights, Arrested Development and 24 – and films – which include Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind and 8 Mile – their company, Imagine Entertainment, has produced. When asked what he remembers most about 24, Grazer said: “Kiefer Sutherland and how not only did he play Jack Bauer more successfully than anyone else could have, but proved himself to be a surprisingly talented television producer who took charge and demonstrated taste and discipline. And we’re working on that 24 feature.” He did not mention the other hotly anticipated TV-to-film adaptation, Arrested Development. For your own memories of 24, check out screen-worn wardrobe items (including a bunch of things worn by Kiefer Sutherland) and props from the series at VIP Fan Auctions.

PAGING AGENT BAUER, AGENT JACK BAUER

Bauer hospital
It’s not uncommon to see Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) beaten, bloodied or facing certain death, but seeing him in a hospital bed seems… too human. But that’s where the roughest, toughest CTU agent on the planet spent the final minutes of 24′s seventh season (between 7 -8 a.m.) clinging to life, but resigned to the fact that this might be the end of it. It was a powerful scene (Kim Bauer arrived without a cougar) and a memorable cliffhanger, which makes the hospital scrubs Jack wore during the final minutes of the season all the more epic. VIP Fan Auctions is offering the hospital duds to one serious 24 fan who wins the bidding war when the auction comes to a close on June 21. Check out the details of the auction and place your bid on this piece of television – no, make that American – history.

THE SEASON THAT CHANGED TELEVISION

24season1
The first season of 24 was truly groundbreaking. Not only did it offer a unique real-time format, but it also seemed to capture the post-9/11 world in real time as well when it debuted in November 2001. For fans of the show, television in general or historians, the complete set of shooting scripts from 24’s first season – along with some additional CTU swag to keep the spirit of Jack Bauer alive. Check out the complete set at VIP Fan Auctions and place your bid today. The auction ends June 7.

JACK BAUER STYLE

With very few wardrobe changes throughout a season of 24, almost all of Jack Bauer’s clothing items become iconic of the particular season in which he wears them. Season 6 is no different, and the Carhartt jacket that Kiefer Sutherland wore while hunting down missing suitcase nukes, circuit boards, and his treasonous family is available to the highest bidder (and currently at a surprisingly low price) on the VIP Fan Auctions website. Click here to check out the details and place your bid on a piece of 24 history. The auction ends May 10.

LOOKING PRESIDENTIAL

David Palmer

24‘s David Palmer (played by Dennis Haysbert) is one of the most popular presidents on television – and a commander-in-chief who would have given Jack Bauer the shirt off his back. In fact, one lucky fan will be receiving the shirt off his back – literally – thanks to a screen-worn wardrobe item recently uncovered by VIP Fan Auctions. The president’s custom-tailored shirt and tie – worn on-screen by Haysbert during seven episodes of the third season of 24 (from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.) – is available to the highest bidder until April 19. Check out the auction and details of the one-of-a-kind piece of television history by clicking here.

JACK BAUER AXED IN JAPAN

Too sensitive for TV

Citing sensitivities to a storyline about radiation poisoning, television executives in Japan have opted to cancel plans to broadcast the final season of 24 as officials continue to grapple with a serious nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Dai-Ichivnuclear power plant. “With the many victims of the current disaster in Japan, and ongoing concerns about radiation leaks from the nuclear power station, TV Tokyo has decided not to show the planned final season and show season five instead,” a spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter. The Japanese nuclear power plant was crippled during the earthquake and resulting tsunami that struck that nation in March.

IF THE SUIT FITS

Prop firearm sold separately

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to take a walk in Jack Bauer’s shows, VIP Fan Auctions is offering an even better option: Jack Bauer’s suit. The suit Kiefer Sutherland wore on-screen during five episodes of Season 7 (6–7 p.m. through 10-11 p.m.), including escorting President Taylor to a safe room and commandeers a truck carrying a bioweapon. It’s also a really nice suit – who knew Jack Bauer also had style? Check out the auction – and details of the one-of-a-kind wardrobe item – by clicking here. The auction ends April 12.

JACK BAUER MUST TESTIFY

24: Redemption

In 24: Redemption, Jack Bauer wanted no part of returning the United States, but Congress had other ideas. While volunteering at an orphanage in Sangala (after saving the world for the sixth time), Bauer is served a subpoena to appear before the Senate to defend his tendency for torturing the truth out of terrorists. It signaled a pivotal moment in the show’s history – and presents a rare opportunity for 24 fans. The subpoena itself (one of only a handful of created by the 24 props department for the episode) is on the auction block. You can place your bid for a piece of 24 history by clicking here. The auction ends April 5.
