Product Description

Synopsis
The photographs in this book were taken by the author Jon Cassar over four years of the Fox Network's hit series "24" and offers a private and unique look through the eyes of the filmmaker. 24's fourth and most recent season was the acclaimed series' strongest and most consistent to date. The star of 24, Kiefer Sutherland, is best knwon for his role as special field agent Jack Bauer. 24 was originally intended to be a one-time mini-series in which Jack Bauer has to stop a presidential candidate from being assassinated as well as rescue his wife and daughter, who are being held hostage. The first season was such a hit that there were second, third and fourth seasons made. A fifth season began in the US in January 2006. The series has also spun off a video game, released in February 2006 and a graphic novel. 24 has received critical and popular acclaim, and has become a true "water cooler" show, in the first season Kiefer Sutherland won a Golden Globe for his performances; show creators Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran won an Emmy award.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful book, 12 Dec 2006
By PG "Paul" (Christchurch, UK) - See all my reviews

This will keep any true 24 fan quiet until season 6 starts.

It isn't just a collection of photos - Jon Cassar who took a lot of the photos himself and is Director/Co Executive Producer of 24, provides an insight into what was happening at the time the photos were taken, such as the one taken on the 24 set when the crew were gathering around watching the news unfold on the morning on 11 September 2001, during the filming of season 1 of 24, before any episodes had aired.

Some of the best photos are the ones where people are caught relaxing or having a laugh with each other, it takes you a little way towards knowing what it must be like to work on a show like 24.

There is a behind the scenes DVD included as well (region 1) - which has interviews with Jon Cassar and others who took some of the photos in the book. The DVD isn't very long at only 7 minutes though!

A quality book, well worth ten quid.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating behind the scenes look at 24., 16 May 2007
By Mr. D. Bell "Dan Bell" (Northampton, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This book gives a fascinating behind the scenes look at the making of the show.

There are some stunning pictures which a give a real insight into what goes into making a show as big as 24. There is also some text which is very short and sweet. Rather than waffling on about rubbish, it just gets straight to the point and tells us an interesting (usually) story about each of the pictures.

Some of the best pictures are ones which show the cast "out of character". It's not until you see Keifer Sutherland laughing and joking around that it suddenly hits you just how depressing his existence in the show is.

There are contributions from all the main people involved, up to season 5.

All in all fans will not be disappointed and at this price it really is a must buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Collection, a must for a 24 Fan, 26 Oct 2006
By Mr. J. Yeoman "24nut" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is amazing, it features an amazig collection of high quality photos taken by the filmakers and even Jon Cassar. You wont find these images anywhere else, two of my favorite images are of Kiefer Sutherland and Dennsi Haysbert hugging eachother and Kiefer with his aviators, with a chess board reflected in the lens's. Buy this book, it really is great.
