Although Elisha Cuthbert has been absent from the regular cast of the action-packed series, 24, since the third season, she recently spoke about the future of its long-anticipated movie version. The actress, who is currently promoting her new film entitled Captivity, expressed the same eagerness and anticipation many of the show’s fans feel towards the proposed undertaking.
“I’ve got the phone waiting by the bed, and I’m just sort of waiting for it to ring and them to tell me ‘Hey, we’re gonna go do the movie,’” the actress narrated.
News about the proposed big-screen rendition of the hit real-time series surfaced months ago but the project has been put on the back burner indefinitely, due to time constraints brought on by the filming of the actual show. Elisha Cuthbert did consider the idea that the movie could go into production next year when the upcoming seventh season is scheduled to end. She did reiterate, however, that everything depends on her 24 dad, Kiefer Sutherland’s availability and schedule.
“I think Kiefer is so busy getting these seasons done that it’s almost impossible to get anything going…we’ve been talking about it since the first season…but it’s got to be good,” Cuthbert enthused.

An interesting point to consider though, is how the film version will be handled considering the show’s trademark real-time format. Obviously, the time restrictions of a typical motion picture will make it impossible to depict an actual 24-hour cycle. However the producers, writers and directors may deem it appropriate to render a theatrical release of 24, fans will most likely devour the movie if only to witness Jack Bauer in full big-screen action.

In the meantime, fans of the popular series can get some kind of 24 fix with Elisha Cuthbert’s suspense thriller, Captivity, which is set to open on Friday, the 13th.

ABC has reportedly picked up three new comedies.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the network has decided to order the new series from Friends star Matthew Perry.

Mr. Sunshine, which also features The West Wing’s Allison Janney, is a single-camera comedy which follows a stadium manager who has an identity crisis on his 40th birthday.

Meanwhile, the network picked up 24 star Elisha Cuthbert’s new vehicle Happy Endings, which follows a woman who breaks up with her fiancée at the altar.

ABC has also decided to order Better Together, a comedy about two sisters and their relationships. The series stars Joanna Garcia, who previously appeared in Privileged and had a guest role in Gossip Girl.

Former “24″ co-star Elisha Cuthbert will play the female lead in ABC’s comedy pilot “Happy Endings.”
The project revolves around a bride (Cuthbert) and a groom (not yet cast) who, after breaking up at the altar, must figure out how they and their four friends can maintain their relationship. The friends include Eliza Coupe (“Scrubs”), Casey Wilson (“Saturday Night Live”) and Damon Wayans Jr. (“My Wife and Kids”).
Best known for playing Jack Bauer’s (Kiefer Sutherland) daughter on “24,” Cuthbert recently had a recurring role on ABC’s drama “The Forgotten.”

Interview and article from sheknows.com:
Elisha Cuthbert is no stranger to hit television with her career-making portrayal of Kim Bauer on 24. Cuthbert’s return to series television takes a different twist this time out as she joins Christian Slater in ABC’s freshman mystery thriller packed with hope, The Forgotten.
Slater and Cuthbert phoned SheKnows for an exclusive chat just as some terrific news arrived from The Forgotten set. At the end of every show, a Public Service Announcement (PSA) highlights an actual missing person. The Forgotten received word that a real-life Jane Doe has been identified thanks to the PSA spot.
Cuthbert and Slater are elated that they work on a program that makes a difference by putting names to the thousands of John and Jane Does who remain nameless. The show airs at 10 pm Tuesdays on ABC. Read the rest of this entry »

Elisha Cuthbert has been given a season pass for Lopez Tonight.
According to Contactmusic, the 24 star admitted that she is a huge fan of the show when she appeared as a guest on Thursday night.
Cuthbert, who is currently shooting The Forgotten near the Lopez Tonight studios, also claimed that she has tried to bypass security to get into the audience.
“If I can get a free pass to come here and sit in the audience any time I want I will love your show forever,” she joked.
Host George Lopez then produced a specially-made season pass for the actress, who screamed when she received the gift.
“This is the only one in existence,” he said. “We had it made. They told me you were a huge fan… You are welcome 24/7.”

If you’re the type of person who demands action, brace yourself for an all-out tactical response from Fox. You want action? You’re going to get plenty of it Sunday night.
The network comes out swinging with a one-two combination that adds up to a three-hour E-ticket thrill ride. First up, at 8 p.m. on WJW Channel 8, is the guns-blazing, fists-flying premiere of “Human Target,” an immediately engaging adventure series starring Mark Valley. Hot on its heels at 9 p.m. is the two-hour, eighth-season premiere of “24,” with Kiefer Sutherland’s Jack Bauer out of his coma and ready to start another tough day.
Although both of these jaw-dropping Fox shows are high-tension, high-octane, high-wire acts, they’re amazingly different in tone. Yet each works on its own terrific terms.
“24″ is by far the darker and denser of the two. And if the aging but craftier Fox veteran seems more deliberately paced than ever before, that’s because it is.
Maturity has not made “24″ any less riveting. If anything, it has picked up some storytelling and character-development moves that provide more shading to these world-saving proceedings. Read the rest of this entry »

In a last-ditch effort to save a failing show, ABC and The Forgotten have cast 24’s Elisha Cuthbert for a recurring role starting in February 2010, according to EW’s Ask Ausiello. Cuthbert will play Maxine Denver, a Chicago professional who is skeptical about the Forgotten Network’s ability to solve cases (as are we all). She is forced to put aside this skepticism when the Network investigates a case close to home. Ausiello asked the question, and I have to ask it too. Can Cuthbert save this dying show? What do you think The Forgotten currently airs on Tuesday nights at 10pm EST on ABC.
