Elisha Cuthbert on standby, “confident” 24 movie will happen

Elisha Cuthbert has revealed she was called and approached about being in the 24 movie (finally!) and was told to “be on standby”. Although it’s been delayed since then, she remains confident that it will happen which is sure to be good news for 24 fans.

Looking toward the hiatus, Cuthbert says her plans are currently on hold after the recently announced filming delay for the 24 movie.

“I thought we were going to do the 24 movie but it looks like we’re sort of on hold right now,” she says. “That doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen, it’s just having things all come together to have it work.”

24 was Cuthbert’s breakout role. She played Kiefer Sutherland’s character’s daughter Kim as a regular during the first three seasons of the Fox series, later recurring until its end in 2010.

“I know Kiefer is busy working on his show,” she says. “I think it’s all pretty much there and ready to go, it’s just a matter of when he wants to do it. I’m confident that it will happen because, for a long time, I heard nothing about it and then got a call. They basically said be on standby, and of course I’d be thrilled to do it. We’ll see.”
