'24' movie script in the works
Twitter
Jack Bauer could be headed to the big screen.FOX's "24" has taken steps to get the movie treatment, beginning with a script by "State of Play's" Billy Ray, reports Variety.
The pitched story places Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) in Europe, where he will presumably save a dignitary or the world while racing against the clock.
So far, there's no indication how the real-time clock countdown would work on the big screen or how long the proposed film would be.
Don't get too excited just yet though. Having "24" playing at a theater near you is still contingent on a number of factors, including whether or not the series is picked up for another season at FOX or even another network. Considering all that goes into production, it's not really practical to do a movie while the series is still running.
"24" is currently in its eighth season, set in New York.

Considering the length of most movies nowadays, won't they have to change the name from 24 to 2? Seems like the wrong venue for a show of this type, but we'll see if they can pull it off.
Yo,X-files did a movie in the middle of the run, duh
0024 anyone ? LOL
I have never been to a movie that was 24 hours long, of course when you cut out the commercials it will probably only be about 17 hours long. I wonder how often they will have pee brakes?
This is awesome! I've been waiting so long for a "24" movie. I think Kiefer will be great on the big screen. I've really enjoyed his biography, "Kiefer Sutherland: Living Dangerously" (buy it on amazon.com). I'm happy there's more Kiefer headed my way in the future.
There have been talks about a 24 movie for almost 7 years, since 2003. I think that it would be a great movie. But I think that they should do a season 9 finish up the triliogy and then make season 10 be the movie, that way they create an entire new storyline.
