FOX will change a few of the scheduled Friday night movies this summer, adding the original action movie XXX: STATE OF THE UNION and encores of the comedy hits DADDY DAY CARE and THE ANIMAL! Please also note that a few titles have moved to different dates in July to keep the action movies running on subsequent weeks.

On FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 2008, from 8:00-10:00pm (ET/PT), FOX presents the WORLD BROADCAST PREMIERE of XXX: STATE OF THE UNION. In this action-packed sequel to the box-office smash XXX, ICE CUE stars as Darius Stone, a thrill-seeking troublemaker whose criminal record and extreme sports obsession make him the perfect candidate to be the newest XXX agent. He must save the U.S. government from a deadly conspiracy led by five-star general George Deckert (DAFOE). Only a renegate XXX agent like Stone has the Xtreme skills to stop Deckert’s dangerous miliatry splinter group from taking over the government in America’s capital. (NOTE: The movie THE FORGOTTEN, previously announced for this night, is no longer scheduled to air.)

With the WGA Strike over, FOX will now have additional scripted programming on the schedule beginning in March! New episodes of BONES, HOUSE, ‘TIL DEATH and BACK TO YOU will be added to the schedule as outlined below. Season finales for May are also included in this announcement.

The schedule for our Sunday animation block and Saturday late night are not yet firm and season finales for these shows will be announced soon. Please note that while 24 is going back into production, it is not anticipated to return until January 2009. This will position the series for the best possible success where the full 24 episodes can run without significant interruption.

FOX has announced a lineup of hit comedy, action and suspense movies for Friday nights this spring and summer! Fridays are planned to be movie nights through August 1. There will also be a Sunday night movie (7-10pm) on July 6.

On FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 2008, from 8:00-10:00pm (ET/PT), FOX presents an encore of the comedy hit 13 GOING ON 30, starring JENNIFER GARNER (“Alias”, “Juno”), MARK RUFFALO (“Zodiac”, “All The King’s Men”) and JUDY GREER (“27 Dresses”)!

13 GOING ON 30 is a hilarious flash-forward romance about a pre-teen girl who goes from geek to glamorous. With the help of some magic wishing dust, 13 year-old Jenna Rink (GARNER) becomes 30 and gorgeous overnight, with everything she ever wanted, except for her best friend Matt (RUFFALO). Now, this grown woman must create some magic of her own to help the little girl inside find the true love she left behind.

On FRIDAY, MAY 2, 2008, from 8:00-10:00pm (ET/PT), FOX presents the WORLD BROADCAST PREMIERE of the comedy ARE WE THERE YET?, starring ICE CUBE (“First Sunday”, “Barbershop”), NIA LONG (“Big Shots”, “Big Momma’s House”) and JAY MOHR (“Ghost Whisperer”)!

When Nick (ICE CUBE) falls for single mother Suzanne (LONG), he initially doesn’t have to worry about what her kids think of him because she just wants to “be friends.” But when Suzanne finds herself in a jam and needs someone to escort her kids to meet her in Vancouver for New Year’s Eve, Nick gladly opens the door of opportunity. It could be the best way to win her heart...or the biggest mistake of his life. With more than one destination on his mind, Nick embarks on a road trip he’ll never forget – and neither will you!

In light of the announced WGA strike, FOX will implement an alternate plan for the 2007-08 season.

At this time there is only one lineup change for November/December 2007 – PRISON BREAK will come off the schedule effective November 19 and HOUSE encores will go in that time period. Otherwise, there will be a few more encore episodes of our scripted series in November and December, but you can still look forward to holiday-themed programming, the fall finale K-VILLE (12/17), the conclusion of THE NEXT GREAT AMERICAN BAND (12/21) and the rest of the regular lineup!

(NOTE: At this time FOX still has holiday-themed episodes scheduled as previously announced, except for BACK TO YOU and ‘TIL DEATH; and BONES, HOUSE and MADTV’s holiday episodes will be encores from past seasons.)

Beginning in January, there will be a few changes to the previously announced plans. PRISON BREAK, AMERICAN IDOL, ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER, DON’T FORGET THE LYRICS, COPS, AMERICA’S MOST WANTED and our Sunday night animated comedies will continue with original episodes, and we will also schedule a mix of original and encore episodes of HOUSE, BONES, ‘TIL DEATH and BACK TO YOU. However, at this time, 24 will be postponed until we can ensure that the full season can air with few or no preemptions.
