The iconic TV series 24 may be coming to the big screen. Producers at 20th Century and Imagine Entertainment are in the early stages of making a 24 movie.
For almost a decade starting in 2001, 24 was a huge hit. Each season followed agent Jack Bauer over 24 episodes in real-time as he tried to stop terrorists. Actor Kiefer Sutherland became famous for playing the intense Jack Bauer.
Imagine Entertainment co-founder Brian Grazer let it slip that a 24 film is in the works. He was talking to CNBC about plans to reboot another action movie called Backdraft too.
No details have emerged yet about the 24 movie’s plot. And it’s unclear if Sutherland would return as Bauer. His intense performance is a big reason fans loved the show so much.
Making 24 into a movie shows it still has popularity years later. Putting it in theaters means it could reach an even wider audience. The real-time format and suspenseful stories kept viewers hooked for hours each season.
As development ramps up, longtime 24 admirers will be eagerly awaiting updates. They want to know about casting, the storyline, and when filming may start. A big screen version of Jack Bauer’s dangerous missions sounds exciting if the producers can pull it off right. Fans are hopeful this project stays on track.
