The "24" Movie Moves Closer to Reality
We've been hearing all sorts of rumbling regarding a big-screen adaptation of "24," and now it looks like Fox and the series creators are ready to get the project rolling. Production on "24: The Movie" could begin as early as next spring.
From Variety: "Twentieth Century Fox has closed a deal with series creators Robert Cochran and Joel Surnow, as well as showrunner Howard Gordon, to bring the Kiefer Sutherland real-time thriller to the bigscreen.
Under the most optimistic scenario, feature would be greenlit early next year and lense next spring and summer during the hiatus between season six and a likely seventh season of "24."
Current plan calls for the "24" feature to abandon the real-time conceit of the TV show, making Sutherland's Jack Bauer, rather than the clock, the star. Such a notion would allow scribes much greater plot possibilities, opening up scenarios not possible on a show where all the action takes place in one day."

on Jun 08 2006 09:23 AM In reply to this comment (#837675) glad to see you didn't read the article. I love 24 and Jack Bauer, but ditching their gimmick may lose some of the conceited hard-core fans. Personally, I'm hoping they can get their writing better, because the 5th and 4th seasons were actually a bit lackluster to me. But regardless, I'll be looking forward to this no matter one. Because any Jack Bauer is good Jack Bauer. (Reply to this) |

on Jun 08 2006 03:24 PM I alos think that the last tow seasons were subpar. It seems that around season 4 they decided that if they crammed as much action into each episode as possible, it would make more people watch it. The also played a game of topper with themselves scrambling to come up with bigger and bigger threats. (Reply to this) |

on Jun 08 2006 03:39 PM I actually thought that season five was the best season since the first. I must say that the fourth was the worst in my opinion, though it was still quite good. Can't wait for a "24" movie. Sometimes the writers have trouble finding ways to extend the day, but when they get a good storyline rolling, it can be just brilliant. (Reply to this) |
on Jun 09 2006 06:37 AM [b]I love the show 24 and Kiefer Sutherland as Jack B[/b] I just wanted to know when will the movie 24 be out, and how long of a movie is it, because I just think that Kiefer plays the part of Jack Bauer fantastic, and no matter what there are a million actors out there but no one could ever be the real Jack Bauer, Kiefer is the one and only he is so Fabulous he is a great actor and I just hope that the television show still continues for a while, because that is one show that really leaves you hanging at the edge of your seat you never know what to expect, so Kiefer if you see this please dont leave the show because no one could ever replace your part as Jack Bauer your the original Jack Bauer. Keep up the great work Kiefer you Rock!!!!!! (Reply to this) |
