Also, if you missed my 24-movie scoop in the July 2 issue of TV Guide magazine, first off, shame on you. Secondly, here's the CliffsNotes version:

The two-hour flick will take place in one 24-hour period, during which Jack will travel to multiple foreign locales; the movie will exist independently from the series, allowing producers greater freedom in terms of the plot; and with the obvious exception of Kiefer Sutherland, no decisions have been made about who will accompany Jack on the big screen —

although, as Mary Lynn Rajskub modestly points out, "It's not going to be a 24 movie without me." Well, she's right.

Meanwhile, there’s already been talk that a 24 movie will be shot next summer on the show’s hiatus and Sutherland gave hints as to what the format might be.


"It’s something we really really want to make," he adds, noting that the movie would be a standalone event that wouldn’t tie in with existing storylines happening on the TV show. "The real key difference would be, the 24 film, would be a two hour representation of a 24 hour day. It would be the first thing we didn’t do in real time. Mainly, we’re making two episodes every three weeks. We would have three months to make a two-hour movie – just to have that kind of time to really allow our cinematographer and director and writers would be great. To actually be able to do a film that has a conclusion would be exciting not only for us to make, but I think for an audience as well. The thing I’m most excited about is we’re going to make it within the context of still running the show. I believe, the film and the show can co-exist and for quite some time and once that starts to happen, the dynamic for film and television will really change in a major way."

The 24 feature film, which has been mentioned as a possible 2008 release, might not come until the Fox thriller concludes as a first-run series, executive producer Joel Surnow said.

"I don't think it will happen for a while. It's a little concern that while the show is still on the air, it may be an oversaturation. I think if the show is off the air for two years, they'd love to release a movie," said Surnow, adding that no official decisions have been made.

Allerdings wurde immer davon gesprochen, dass der Film sich um Jack dreht, also können sie ihn schlecht während der Serie sterben lassen, was einem dann zumindest in dieser Hinsicht die Spannung nimmt.

Ich glaube selbst ohne Film, wären die meisten sich hier so ziemlich sicher, dass Jack nicht sterben wird. Oder nicht?

Ich glaube selbst ohne Film, wären die meisten sich hier so ziemlich sicher, dass Jack nicht sterben wird. Immerhin ist doch Jack Bauer, der wichtigste Teil von 24.
