The idea of a film based on Fox's drama/thriller "24" has been floating around for quite a while now and recently, Jack Bauer himself Keifer Sutherland spoke about the film's progress. According to Sutherland, "The script is actually in development right now. It's something that we would shoot for doing next summer, during the next break." The biggest question about the film version of the show has been how they'd incorporate the show's signature "real-time" element. And Sutherland mentioned that the "real-time" will be scrapped all-together and instead the film will be "a two-hour representation of a 24-hour day. That would be the first time that we would not do something in real time, but the characters would obviously all be derivative of the show." He wouldn't say where in the show's timeline the film would take - whether it'd be prequel, in between seasons or a sequel - but he did say that he thinks there's room in the public consciousness for both the film and show, mentioning "I actually believe that they can co-exist. The series can go and the films can go — or film — can go." Read the rest of what he said over HERE. And check out Sutherland next week as a pseudo-Jack Bauer in THE SENTINEL.
