In conjunction with the launch of season six of “24″ on January 14, America was introduced to “The Rookie,” a series of short online films that follow the adventures of the newest member of CTU.

The rookie is Jason Blaine, a character who stars in two different storylines, “Coffee Run” and “Get This To …” that will premiere in their entirety at www.CTUrookie.com. Additionally, each short film will be turned into a series of episodic national television commercials that end with a “24-esque” cliffhanger.

“The Rookie” was shot on the CTU set and directed by Rodney Charters, who has directed “24″ episodes and is its director of photography. In addition, the stunt coordinator, key camera operator and the explosive and weapons experts from “24″ all worked on the production of these short films.
