24 theatrical film in the works
 

The real-time TV thriller "24" is headed to the big screen under a deal between movie studio 20th Century Fox and the show's producers, trade paper Daily Variety said on Thursday.

The Hollywood publication said no deals are in place with the cast, although star
Kiefer Sutherland -- an executive producer of the series -- has said he would like to reprise his role as sleep-deprived action hero Agent Jack Bauer in a feature version.

However, the paper said the "24" movie would likely abandon the TV show's distinctive real-time conceit, meaning that all the murder and mayhem will no longer be squeezed into one day. A rough plot outline has been drafted, but no details have been disclosed, it said.

Fox, a unit of News Corp., struck a deal with series creators Robert Cochran and Joel Surnow, who will write the script, and executive producer Howard Gordon, who will work on the story, Daily Variety said. The feature could potentially shoot next spring and summer during the hiatus between season six and a likely seventh season of "24."

The critically acclaimed "24" series, which airs in the United States on News Corp.'s Fox Broadcasting unit, saw ratings improve by 14 percent for the just-wrapped fifth season, with nearly 14 million viewers tuning in every week, the paper said.

I can't wait for this movie! Oh Yeah!

They can stretch it to 24 days in the movie, giving us an extended time to meet in the story, even if it'll be condensed.

Or they can just call it "Two"

...Heh heh

Thanks for the video link. That last 1 was intense, whoa!

Makes me wonder if we'll get a 12 part movie....:P

LOL! Yeah they could do that. They could release the first one in January and keep going until they release the last one in December.

Dude, that video was taking the p*ss out of how unreallstic the show is and comparing it to Walker, Texas Ranger, it was'nt supposed to be serious.

Oh.... I thought it was cool.:D

I mostly watch 24 for unintentional comedy. Don't get me wrong, it's still fairly well written, it's just this kind of thing does'nt happen in a day. At all.

Remember when Jack was on the plane in season 5? He knocked the guy out with his elbow, and then put a pillow under his head to make it look like the guy was asleep.:D That scene was funny, cool, and stupid all at the same time.:D

It was pretty humorous, I laughed more at the confrontation with Henderson

"That's the way it works"

BANG!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

You mean when Jack finally killed him? Yeah, that was, wow....

The last villain he killed like that, in season 1, was also at some water too.
