Chloe O'Brien may have told Jack Bauer to "shut it down" in the series finale, but according to star Kiefer Sutherland, the '24' movie is back on.He told 'Extra' that he hopes the movie may start shooting "hopefully by December or January," and that "it's something we're very excited about."
However, after making over 200 episodes of the TV series, Sutherland acknowledged the problems that have reportedly dogged the search for a suitable story and script. "It's very hard ... to try and find a story that's unique and will service the history of the show as well."
Rumors of a '24' movie have abounded since the drama ended last year, but it's been continuously beset by problems. It was reported back in April that writer Billy Ray had completed a script, but then nothing until December when we heard that the script had been rejected, and that Tony Scott was on-board with his own ideas for the movie.
Still, for now, anyway, Sutherland's dance card is full. He's headed to Broadway to co-star with Chris Noth in a revival of 'That Championship Year'. Stay tuned for more '24' movie updates.
