After 192 hours of TV show, Fox won't give 2 hours of film to 24.

More...

I love the article picture.

The show was mostly laughable, repetitive garbage for at least the last 3 seasons, but I still watched every episode. Strip everything away, Bauer is just such a great action character, and such a perfect character/actor fit. Sutherland needs to take a break for a few years, but I definitely want to see JB come back at some point, older and meaner, saving the entire fucking world. AGAIN.

Also, I like that Tony Scott may be involved.

Tony Scott and 24? Seems like a marriage made in Illnevergiveashitaboutitville.

Bummer. I wanted to see Jack Bauer in a hard R-rated film.

Fox says no to this so they can green-light 2 more Gallivers Travels.. Cause you know, who would see a 24 movie in 3D?

Glad to see that the Pro Torture show of the decade won't be getting a feature film. I was one of the original 24 fans, having watched the first season and turned friends onto it in time for season 2. At the time, I thought that Bauer's law bending tactics made for gritty TV. However, once the character of Jack Bauer started being invoked to justify real life torture I was out. I stopped a few episodes into season four and never watched again. The final straw? Some stupid crack about Michael Moore delivered by one of our "hero" characters. The show had become a propaganda tool of Neanderthal Nation, and I would not be a party to such drivel

Keifer, you're cool all all, but 24 The Motion Picture was not meant to be. Besides, would you really want to shoot a film for FOX? I hear that a camera records an image through a process that involves reflected light!

Meh. Honestly, I don't care. I stopped watching the show after season 5, as did a lot of other people it seems. I can't imagine anyone other than the producers caring about this being made.

I love how in Mirrors he is basically in Jack Bauer mode for the whole movie. He roars, he points guns at people, he is set on fire, and he destroys a nun twice. A 24 movie needs to be all this and MORE.

I know, right down to the "damnit!"s! It's pretty hilarious on all fronts. The very definition of a "so bad it's good" movie

PS I updated my broken image link in my previous post

Put Jack Bauer in a wacky alien invasion movie. That is the only acceptable solution.

I know you're probably joking, but in case you are truly unaware The Terror Lives On though without Jack Bauer...

Even though I watched every episode of "24", I'm happy with how it ended. I don't know that a movie could accomplish anything further that I didn't already see. At worst, it could turn out like Live Free Or Die Hard and lessen my love for a character that I previously loved. The only news about the movie that made me interested was Tony Scott's involvement but even that doesn't eclipse my fear of the worst case scenario happening.

Get Tony Gilroy on the script and I might be interested again.

I'm not a huge 24 fan, but season 5 is one of the best things ever on television.

As someone who watched 1-5 again last year, I can say that season five was the only one that benefited from a second viewing. However, there's an idea that the show became something different in season (fill in the blank), and that's simply not the case. The show was a little bit different (though not better) in season one, while it was finding its footing, but from two on it was a totally hit and miss, formulaic drama with a ton of terrible subplots. And that includes season 5. It's hardly one of the best things ever on television.

They should do a movie where a cryogenically-frozen Jack Bauer returns in the 24th century and save mankind from alien invasion. And it should be rated R.

That's a real bummer. I can imagine the logistics are hard for execs to wrap their head around. Are they only having 2 hours of real time in a movie? is it a highlight of 24 hours? In a world filled with Jason Bourne \ James Bond it's hard to sell a Jack Bauer.

I agree that as popular as Jack Bauer was on tv he just can't compete with Bourne or Bond. So this all probably for the better. The show clearly continued to nose dive season after season whose to say a movie would be any better.

24 was such glorious trash, and I loved every minute of it, even when I really didn't. I think there was a crucial juncture early in season 2 where they consciously wimped out of going somewhere truly risky and terrific in favor of making the Jack Bauer Power Hour, but hey. This show was more faithful to the spirit of comic books than most comic book movies, and I think if it was any less ridiculous, that's how much less I would have liked it.

I'm sure a movie will get made at some point. Honestly, I'm surprised Fox would give a shit about the quality of the script at all, or am I just being naive and their reaction was actually, "This treatment reads like it's going to cost too much money?"
