For years, I have heard rumors of a movie version of the 24 television show. It would appear that a film is in talks with Billy Ray, the screenwriter for such thrillers as State of Play and Flightplan.

As I recall, they already did that 24: Redemption movie that didn’t really feel so hot, and I’m not certain how well a 24 movie will work. I would imagine if they use that realtime conceit, then it would actually be Jack Bauer going through two hours of even more hell.

Keifer Sutherland is excited about the possibility of a movie, siting that the media world is changing fast, and a TV show and movie can work together and not apart.

Well, if The Simpsons can have a movie, why not 24? Of course, would you want to watch a TV show with a finale that ends with: “To be concluded in the movie?”
