"24" Movie Still Coming ... Only Not That Soon
One of the "24" creators recently shared some words with iFMagazine, and of course the subject of the movie adaptation came up. Executive producer / director Jon Cassar had a few promising things to say -- but I think it's safe to assume that the "24" movie is still a long ways off.
Newsbit #1: The movie is still in the formative script stages, and Cassar says production will not begin on the next season haitus. (Which basically means it won't start up until at least next year, I guess.)
#2: The movie will most likely take place "between seasons," which means it'll probably work pretty well as just a stand-alone action flick. Oh, and apparently the "real-time" concept is being tossed out for the movie.
#3: No director has been chosen just yet, but obviously Mr. Cassar wouldn't pass on the gig.
So stay patient, Bauer-fans. At least you have the TV show to keep you busy.

on Feb 22 2007 10:32 AM Man I'm a HUGE fan of 24, I've been watching it since it first aired but I can't see this movie working. Without the time concept of the show this won't be different than any other action movie, ie. rebel agent vs. terrorists (see Die Hard). Also, watching this season the show is still damn entertaining but it's more evident than ever that they're running out of ideas... will they have enough for a quality movie? As Jack would say, "Damn it!" (Reply to this) |

on Feb 22 2007 12:56 PM Hm. The real-time aspect of the show seems pretty important. But maybe they're thinking that the "24" bit is the most important. After all, you can't call a 2-hour real-time movie "24." Just... "2." And "2" is a lousy title. (Reply to this) |

on Feb 22 2007 12:57 PM i'm sure the whole movie will take place over a day. hence, the title 24 will work. (Reply to this) |

on Feb 22 2007 06:07 PM Hopefully the story will still take place over 24 hours, just condensed into a 2 hour running time. that would be great. (Reply to this) |
