EP Alex Gansa Talks India's "24"

What are your thoughts about this "24" production in India?
You know, Howard [Gordon], who created the show with me, he knows a lot more about that than I do. I know that Anil [Kapoor], who played the Iranian president in the last season of "24". He, after being on the set of "24", really decided that he wanted to play Jack Bauer in India.
So I understand that it’s up and running, that they’re going ahead. I think it’s great. I think it’s very cool. I’m actually dying to see how they do it because that part of the world, of course, is so interesting with the terrorist attacks in Mumbai.
And it’s going to be fascinating to see how a half-Hindu, half-Muslim country deals with these issues of terrorism on the ground. I think it’s going to be fascinating. You know? Whether there’ll be singing or dancing is another issue.
I don’t know. It’s going to be fun, though.
So, how involved is Howard going to be in it?
I don’t think he’s involved at all.
