The 24 star on the upcoming prequel TV-Movie.

July 23, 2008 – We haven’t seen Jack Bauer for over a year now, but this fall he’ll be back, as the TV-Movie 24: Exile premieres. Exile is a prequel to the seventh season of the series, which will premiere in January, following a full year delay caused by the writers’ strike. The main story of Exile follows Jack in Africa, where he and an old friend (played by Robert Carlyle) end up teaming to stop a brutal militia group. Meanwhile, back in the U.S., we follow what is occurring as the new president (Cherry Jones) is inaugurated.

This past week IGN was among a group of press who spoke to Kiefer Sutherland about Jack’s return in Exile; how it connects to Season 7, and how the actor views the series and his iconic character, several years into 24′s run.

G4 network is airing two days of live coverage that will include interviews with Samuel L. Jackson, Seth Rogan, Stan Lee, Michael C. Hall, Kiefer Sutherland, Rose McGowan, Amy Smart and Kal Penn.

“COMIC-CON ’08 LIVE” will air from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday and Friday. G4TV.com promises more exclusives from the Con, including behind-the-scenes photos, news and videos.

The guests: Kiefer Sutherland, Joss Stone, Samuel L. Jackson and Mario Lopez.

The host: Justin Timberlake. Oh man.

The scene: the penthouse at the Standard Downtown L.A..

As the official host of the ESPY Awards, the Standard housed a good number of star athletes for the week leading up to the awards – which took place yesterday but air on Sunday – complete with an ESPY Style Studio, “a three-day gifting experience” which, in less fancy terms, means everyone scored lots and lots of cool swag.

J. Tim hosted the star-studded penthouse bash last night to top off the awards festivities (he hosted the awards ceremony too).

The day before the J. Tim soiree, the hotel also threw a full-day pool party and BBQ. Still, we are doubtful Justin actually slept over. This is a Standard Hotel, afterall. Not the Ritz.

Will Kiefer Keep it or donate it?
