During todays Television Critics Association winter tour presentation panel for Touch, Kiefer Sutherland reiterated the current plans for 24‘s feature film. “We will be shooting end of April or beginning of May,” the actor said.
Kiefer also confirmed that just like the television series, the movie would take place over the course of a single day, though obviously not in real-time. As for where the movie will fit in the timeline of the series? Kiefer says it’s “relatively a direct continuation [from the series finale]. We’re talking maybe six months from the end of that episode.”
Although Kiefer Sutherland is tight-lipped when it comes to revealing the cast, Howard Gordon confirmed yesterday that fan favorite Chloe O’Brian would appear in the film along with new characters. The movie is being written by Mark Bomback and currently has no director attached.

January 9, 2012 at 1:00 amAnyone dumb enough to not know 24 will not care about anything that is going on. They’ll be too busy licking the bottom of the popcorn package while making as much noise getting there as possible all while texting on their cell phone at the same time as asking every 10 minutes, “What are we watching again?” “Yea, girl, we watching that twenty fourz, with that guy with a gun, going around torturing people. He pulling out teeth right now, gurl. Oh, he just punched that guy.”

January 9, 2012 at 1:11 amIt’s interesting that the script for the movie picks up about six months after the series’ conclusion, and that Kiefer states it will be a “relative” continuation of the show, leading me to believe the ’24’ movie will be a broad affair in scope that will attempt to appeal to as wide an audience as possible, but will be close enough to the series to please die-hard ’24’ fans, meaning why Chloe O’Brien will be in it and Tony Almeida won’t!
I hope Jon Cassar directs the ’24’ movie, but he probably won’t as he’s committed to other (television) projects, so another director who would be an excellent choice would be the British director Pete Travis, who helmed the underrated 2008 thriller ‘Vantage Point’, not to mention the upcoming Judge Dredd adaptation ‘Dredd’, and who has a kinetic and fluid style to his direction that would serve a ’24’ movie well…
