"24" film is still on its way; script still in the works

A 24 feature film has been in the works for a while now, with nothing real coming out of constant production rumors as of yet. The hit show starring king of all-around bad-assery, Jack Bauer, came to its end after its eighth season last summer. Needless to say, the 24 movie is a slow-gestating project that fans can’t help but be riled up over.

Today’s update on the project comes from a Fox TV executive who has his pulse on the status of production. Fox Entertainment Chairman Peter Rice had this to say about the project:

“I don’t work at the movie company, but my intelligence around the lot is everybody would very much like to make a 24 movie ,and I believe that they’re working on the script. When they say ‘We don’t have a script,’ they don’t have a completed script that they’re about to go shoot. There’s a great desire to see Jack Bauer on the big screen.” Continue reading “"24" film is still on its way; script still in the works” →

24 movie to hit next year, according to Kiefer Sutherland

The 24 movie has been brewing for a while now, with seemingly very little progress happening. We had Billy Ray’s script that got turned down a while back, and the film has yet to have a director attached. However, hopes still seem to be very high on the project from those involved.

But has 24 already gone the way of the ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT movie? Kiefer Sutherland says otherwise, as he claims the film will release next year. Continue reading “24 movie to hit next year, according to Kiefer Sutherland” →

Jason Bateman updates on ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT movie

The ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT movie is an allusive beast. It always seems like it’s coming and we get updates on it constantly but have yet to see it come to fruition. This could mean several things. First, it might not be coming out the way that Mitch Hurwitz was hoping it would. Second, it could be coming out so incredibly well and he wants to make sure it is perfect.

This most recent update, from Jason Bateman, suggests toward the second scenario. You can check what he had to say after the break. Continue reading “Jason Bateman updates on ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT movie” →

24 movie still on; filming starting in the next year

The 24 movie has been on a pretty tumultuous path since it was first announced, leaving all of us wondering if the film will actually even happen.

It seems that hasn’t stopped the movie yet, and they are still hard at work trying to bring Jack Bauer to the big screen.

This update comes directly from Jack himself, Kiefer Sutherland, and you can check it out after the break. Continue reading “24 movie still on; filming starting in the next year” →

"24" film script rejected

Sorry, all you 24 fans out there, the film version of your beloved series might take a little bit longer than you were expecting to hit the big screen. The project, which seemed to be on the fast track after the show’s cancellation, seems to have hit a standstill.

Back in March we got word from Jack Bauer himself, Kiefer Sutherland, that the script to the film had been completed. That’s why it came as a shock when word got out today that the first version of the script has been rejected.

This news come from Assignment X, who convinced 24 executive producer, Howard Gordon, to reveal a little bit about the upcoming film. He then revealed that they felt Billy Ray’s script wasn’t up to snuff. He also revealed that though he is not involved with the project currently, director Tony Scott has a couple ideas for the film.

Seth MacFarlane's TED might get Mark Wahlberg?

A little story hit the web back in April about Fox’s starchild Seth MacFarlane getting a stab at his first feature, a film called TED. Nothing much was known about the project at the time, other than the base synopsis and a few small facts.

Now we are getting some our first possible casting, and it might just be spot-on. Continue reading “Seth MacFarlane's TED might get Mark Wahlberg?” →

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT film update time – script is half-done

I’m not sure if there has ever been a film project nearly as frustrating for fans as that of the ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT film. The worst (and best) part about it is that every positivebit still elicits excitement, just as every negativeve bit is still really saddening.

However, this newest update on the film is one of the happy ones, as the script is apparently half-done. The word comes from series creator Mitch Hurwitz himself. Check out what he had to say after the break! Continue reading “ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT film update time – script is half-done” →

Completely CGI version of The Thing in FANTASTIC FOUR: REBORN

The idea of THE FANTASTIC FOUR getting a reboot by Fox is not only really exciting, but extremely horrifying. There’s always a chance that the third time is the charm for Fox, but after the first two films, who can really be sure. Today, news is coming out that one of the first family, The Thing, will be entirely CG.

Is this a good sign for the film, or yet another misstep by Fox? Continue reading “Completely CGI version of The Thing in FANTASTIC FOUR: REBORN” →

Fox has "Glee" actors contracted for three films

It’s no secret that I’m a “Gleek,” (although I would never call myself that normally) and I tuned in for every episode of Glee, and was always anxious for my next fix. The show really caught my eye when I realized how well they blend the more dramatic aspects of the show with some really absurd comedy. Now our Glee need (Gleed?) could become a little overwhelmed as news is coming out that the cast is contracted for three films based on the series.

John Stamos is full of "Glee"

I think I very well might be the resident “Gleek” at GATW, as I seem to get really pumped by all of the reoccurring and cameo roles in Fox’s hit show, Glee. Time and time again, they have chosen actors to pop up, such as Neil Patrick Harris’ and his hilarious performance as Bryan Ryan. Now they have chosen another really exciting actor to bring in for the shenanigans, Uncle Jesse himself, John Stamos. Continue reading “John Stamos is full of "Glee"” →
