"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” →
