Fox Files Trademarks For Much Anticipated 24: Legacy

Just days before Fox announced Straight Out of Compton actor Corey Hawkins landed the starring role in 24: Legacy, the much anticipated reboot of Jack Bauer's 24, it filed two federal trademark applications for the show's title.

On January 22nd, Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation filed the standard character mark 24: LEGACY in Class 041 for a variety of entertainment services related to a television show and in Class 009 for DVDs, downloadable versions of the show, and related software.

Fox filed both applications on an intent-to-use basis, obviously, because the show is not yet on the air. The company only announced the new show a week and a half ago, and within a week had filed these trademark applications.

The storyline on IMDB.com states "[a]ccording to Fox, the project will center on a military hero who encounters a troubled return to the U.S., compelling him to ask CTU for help in saving his life, and stopping what potentially could be one of the largest-scale terror attacks on American soil." 24: Legacy is slated for 12 episodes and has an estimated budget of $35,000,000.00.
