Jack Bauer in Africa!

Fox announced this morning that the two-hour 24 prequel movie would premiere Nov. 23. "Shot on location in South Africa, Jack Bauer battles an international crisis, while here at home the nation prepares for a new president on inauguration day." Oh, that 24—always so topical! The series proper will return in January, paired with Dollhouse.

If you have questions for Joss Whedon, Eliza Dushku, Summer Glau (I know: Faith and River in the same room, I'm freaking out, too!), Thomas Dekker, Joshua Jackson, Wentworth Miller, Dominic Purcell, Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz, Robert Sean Leonard, Jennifer Morrison or Cat Deeley (SYTYCD season four starts next week, and hallelujah!), please post 'em in the comments. I'll hopefully get to talk to them today, and will ask as many of your Q's as I can!
