24 will soon be a movie

Fans of the hit TV series 24 will soon get to see Jack Bauer on the big screens. Actor Kiefer Sutherland says that the TV series has a film script in development. From MTV:

"The '24' movie would be a two-hour representation of a 24-hour day," revealed the actor, who also stars in the similarly themed drama "The Sentinel" later this month. "That would be the first time that we would not do something in real time, but the characters would obviously all be derivative of the show.
