Damn It!! The 24 Movie Postponed??
I am – Hercules!!
The last time we heard about a Jack Bauer movie, the powers-that-be were talking about shooting it between seasons six and seven. There were even strong suggestions that it would be shot in Europe this spring.
But on CNN’s “Larry King Live” Tuesday night, King and show creator Robert Cochran were talking about about “a movie” rather than “the movie,” and that “a movie” was more likely to get slapped together near the end of the series.
Given “24’s” huge ratings, huge critical acclaim and huge 2006 contract that locks Kiefer Sutherland into seasons seven and eight, “24” doesn’t seem likely to call it quits before mid-2009.

seemed fitting
-
The show still has some life in it, wait until it's been off the air a year or two to put out a kick ass movie. Somehow, this must be Michael Bay's fault. Damn you Michael Bay!
-
I'll wait for the DVD.
-
24 Movie Now = Flames On Optimus
-
as much as I wish I didn't care, I signed my soul over to 24 after the first season and, despite the enourmous drop in quality since halfway through season 2, I've stuck by my man Jack for this long. I'm sticking it out to the bitter end at this point (as long as they kill off Chloe in the first 5 minutes this season)
-
no seriously, I read about it right here on this site just yesterday.
-
I watch sports, Simpsons and some Adult Swim/Nick @ Nite and thats it. I completely missed the whole Survivor, Big Brother, American Idol, and 24 phenomenons....and somehow I dont feel like I missed much....
-
Dang...
-
All the damn vampires.
-
On the plus side 24 could go up against Avatar! It'd win, right?...
-
I shudder to even imagine how just retardedly ignorant of even the smallest of logic the show will be in 2009. eeek. But seriously, are people THAT easily distracted by non-stop action to not be able to tell when you're watching incredibly stupid and silly characters and plot contrivances and twists that rail against any kind of reasonability at all?
-
BSB and W2D--is it possible? I like where you guys are headed, taint a bad thing boys.
In other news, any news of an office movie? now that's worth paying $8.50 for. never watched five minutes of 24 and don't plan to, lest there's an episode where the bad guys, whoever they are, nuke austin or something cool like that. -
Kinda like that Deus Vult???
-
If I was any cooler I could pay for sex!
-
Don't count out the need for pure escapism. It's a fun show. Nothing more or less. Peace.
-
apparently you CAN and DO combine two different catchphrases and personally I love it. it only adds fuel to the fire to people who think such posts are a big waste of time.
speaking of which, and of course I can't find the story or the posting now, but someone lost it over "Taint" and "Gotta Eat" and all the other non-movie related items people post in the talkbacks. they mentioned some fabled golden age where people only used the teebees for talking about movies. you know in six years of reading talkbacks I can't remember one post relating to a movie... -
so when was this magical time, if not within the last six years, that posters only used this forum like some sort of utopia where talking about movies was its only purpose and catchphrases and other inane items didn't exist?
-
And Kiefer Sutherland's cool. My question is, if they make a "24" movie, how long will it last and will the title reflect this in minutes or hours?
-
I had thought about TB stalking BSB since stooops is gone, but Devils Backbone was on IFC. Oh well, maybe next time BSB, taint no thing!
-
I'm not sure you could get away with saying "It's just fun escapism, nothing more or less", when for one thing you consider (and granted, not that I ever give a shit about awards shows and the like) it's given the Emmy for best drama, things like that. When so many critics hail it as incredibly high quality television, one of the best shows of likely the last decade. No, plenty of people out there are trying to vaunt it into being something much more serious and filled with genuine substance than to try and say it's simply escapist enjoyment. With all due respect ;)
-
It would just be two more hours of the exact same thing. 24 is boring.
-
It would just be like any other 2 hour thriller. All the thrills and chills of watching in real time would be gone. What we really need is a 24 series with hard cussing, violence, and sexuality. Naked Mandy deserves to be seen in all her Naked Glory!
-
If it were it would be taintalizing. 24movie=Jacks less than bulbous gland

24 movie already came out, it was called The Sentinel
by s-mart shopper
-
and suffered through it like I have, you'd know how NOT 24 it is. Painfully not. It's more like, The Fugitive: The really shitty one.
-
caught a video on the hursnet site (a european fanboy blog) that interviewed Keifer last May. it was taken down immediately after, but i held onto the info and this is what he revealed about the story line (if it means anything): Jack decides to fake being sick to his parents (while his sister bitterly has to go to school). He then calls up his best friend Cameron and his best gal Sloan (he gets her out of school by pretending that her grandmother died). Then he hijacks Cameron's ferrari and goes on an all-out fun spree in Chicago, while outwitting both his principal and his jealous sister. It's a real gas, and not to be missed!
-
Threw mine out the window and hit a homeless guy going through my trash.
-
Oh, and one of Jack's teacher's says "Bauer, Bauer" over and over in the class that Jack is cutting. He also talks to the camera and dances on a parade float. Film was tentatively titled "Jack Bauer's Day Off", but obviously that may have changed.
-
Last night on Leno, Sutherland was on and it sounded like the script was already written for the movie and that filming was going to begin this summer.
-
ressurrect the old movie serial format. No, Star Wars doesn't count. It was an homage to those, but it wasn't a real serial.
how about 24 one hour serial episodes, one debuting at theatres every or every other week. That way, it's as good as the show, and you get hardcore cussing, violence and nudity! Ticket price would have to be at least half of a regular movie though, or it'd get too expensive.
-
Again, my apologies.
-
It's just a rumor at this point, but they're saying President Palmer's ghost is going to be the central character in a sitcom version of "Ghost Dad". It will co-star Raven ("That's So Raven) as his daughter and Billy Crystal as Nathan the curious neighbor. Masteo, Jim Henson's last creation before his death, will be Palmer's love interest. Masteo is a monstrous creature that Jim Henson developed and locked away in a closet. Masteo is highly feminine and has the ability of flight when angered.
-
As long as they're used correctly. Tv viewers gotta eat? what the hell does that mean in this situation?
-
Copy that...
-
I hope the movie is 24 hours long, and every 10 minutes, Jack Bauer kills someone! People love me.
-
S Mart Shopper you totally snuck that one by me. not sure how you pulled that off. nice work using its proper name too, but wow its so hard to get people to use it as a catchphrase. now thats worth $10 via paypal.
-
Bauer Jackfeld is a stand up comic in New York City who is constantly dumping his girlfriends because of silly imperfections.
-
Talk about a bunch of winers. What the hell do you want from television?! 24 is currently THE ONLY show offering thrilling story lines (season 4 excluded...even that had Jack amputating his son-in-law's hand), likable characters, genuine twists and JACK FUCKING BAUER!!! ALL television has repetitive and outrageous aspects. It's unavoidable. Take the pill and enjoy the ride, taint washers!
-
"Welcome Back, Bauer" is a sitcom that debuted in 1988, wherein Kiefer played Jack Bauer, a teacher who returned to his old roots to teach a bunch of sweathogs. Most people don't know this.
-
Okay, that's my last one.
-
:PNice to see that litle tip spawned 2 stories. ;)I'll be pissed if that rumor of the flick being set between one of the earier seasons, doesn't pan out. I want to see Tony kicking ass, even if it's a flashback. >_<
-
it's an escapist serialized TV drama. Many of the gimicks they use to make 24 fun to watch wouldn't work on the big screen.
-
BIG TIME!!!
-
can you back that statement up or are you just trying to come up with something clever to say? Cause it wasnt that clever.
-
Overrated.WE SNORT OVERSEAS!!!
-
I want to ride my biiiiike!!!!!
-
before you attack me for misspelling
-
like most things on TV.
turn off the tube and live life.
there are things that are screaming for every americans attention out in the real world. -
What can you say about the movie?
Only this: The writers have finished the screenplay. Right now, we're knee-deep in the middle of the season, so it's about being able to pull [exec producers] Joel Surnow and Bob Cochran off the show to prep the movie. So many things have to happen between now and May, when we would like to shoot the film. It's something we're certainly striving for. -
It still could happen.
-
..Jack will get "involved" with Mandy somewhere in season 7 or 8...
-
This site is losing it......er, has lost it. Will the last industry professional who is still reading this, please turn out the light? Wait. They've all left, that's why the light is still on.
-
Damn you Michael Bay
-
...but MCMLXXVI may actually be a psycho stalking nut job who will one day kill Mr. Bay at the Transformers premiere! I is worried. But also anticipating the resulting movie.
24 IS GOOD TV...BSG IS GOOD TV...LOST has turned out to be a pile of dog doo doo after killing off characters we invested time in, simply cos they got arrested! The show has lost its bite cos the creators continue to insult our intelligence. As for the 24 movie...24: The Avatar Bauer. Now thats a movie!! -
You fucking talkbackers are retarded. YOu try to read some relevant opinion and you wave to wade through irrelevant bullshit posted by some fuckwit thinking he's the greatest unknown comic the world has never seen.
-
I did post a typo in that last post. So fucking what?
-
We sure have been told. This is not a comedy site. Nor is this a site for sarcastic comments on the state of play of the industry we love, which is in decline both in originality and quality. No one should dare use humour to illustrate their dissatisfaction at the way the movie professionals continue to insult out intelligence with poor production, and style over substance film making. How dare we be cynical and use humour to express our concern over the lack of investment in quality writing talent, over the pandering of star egos and the huge payouts to said 'stars' which in turn means less money to those who actually make the movies good - the crew; lighting, sound, editors, costumes, set designers; animators; effects guys; stunt men and women. Pity us, because rather than run off essays on our opinions of the industry news, we chose to laugh at the foolishness of it all. Children are dying of starvation in Africa...Up to 100 people die per day in the Middle East...New Orleans is still getting a bum deal from the US government...and movie actors get $25 million a movie plus box office, directors work with $200 million movie budgets, and rappers who were drug dealers - drug dealers - get starring roles in movies about nothing...how dare we pretend to crack jokes about all of this and how dare we think we are comics....Damn you Aint It Cool News...Damn you talkbackers...and damn all of us for thinking this is a community of movie mates who talk, express opinion, and be plain silly just to bring smiles all around.
-
Some of us remember the site as it started - less about retarded "mates", and more about film lovers who were interested in more than smart-ass comments and vitriolic mumbling.

Waiting for Sunday night has become so much easier now that I have a PS3, so screw the movie. I was shopping for gifts at Target (delayed Christmas, long story) and there they were. The salesperson said they had came in that day. They had been placed at the bottom of the display case with no fanfare at all. Six PS3s on a slow Tuesday night at Target. I rarely shop there at all. It's like the stars aligned and the universe said,"L.H., you've had a rough go of it for the last few months. Here, have a PS3. Go on, you've got the cash." So now I can't get this smile off my face. If you have one, I highly recommend Resistance: Fall of Man. It's fucking amazing!
-
Will they fit in 24 hours into 2? Will the movie be the conclusion of a season (that would make it 26, then)? Or the lead-in to a new Day? Hopefully they do something wise with this, 'cause I am going to see it, no matter what. It's so addictive...
-
I am looking at the home page, and I see a fat naked man, sliding down a pole, with lights flashing at him as he heralds in 2007. Yeah, this really is a site for the intellectual. I stand corrected and humiliated.
-
I WORK FOR DICK JONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
But i'm too tired and lazy to post the URL, sorry.
-
It's probably (or partially) because Fox want to see how the Die Hard 4 film (which has a very similar protagonist and similar terrorist action scenario to the 24 show) fares commercially this year, as it's probably costing $US 150 mill. Also Kiefer doesn't want to do a rush job, where it's made in between seasons.
-
24 hours seen over a 2 hour film. Its gonna be crap, the best thing about 24 is that you see everything in real time. They should just make a rip off Die-hard type movie and set it over 2 hours real time.
-
That was a pretty damn funny response. I do hope that you have changed your view on life though. You should feel inspired to change the world now and forget about this talkback shit. Oh, and I would prefer to keep 24 on TV, which I think is its best home, not on the big screen where it'll lose something I think. If it did happen, I wonder if they would do a 'Nick of Time' deal. See ya on the shortbus!
-
...because based on the logic of the title, I would have to spend a whole day at the theater. They don't have bacon at the theater. If I don't get bacon at least once every 24 hours, I'll die. Maybe that's the plot of the movie. Like Crank, but with Jack Bauer and bacon. But if they want to make a Jack Bauer movie they'll have to call it like "2" or something and have it take place in real time, because real time is the point of the show. But then who wants to walk up to the ticket window and say "Give me 2 tickets for 2," that sounds kinda dumb. I guess what I'm trying to say is that 24 makes the most sense as a TV show, so there's no real reason to make a movie out of it. But they're welcome to prove me wrong, I wouldn't mind that. As long as I get some bacon.

THis show's a pile of shit.
-
The makers of "24" have said having a film between seasons might be overexposure and they'll wait until the series has been off the air for a year or 2.
-
This Summer? If not, then what is "Live Free or Die Hard" about? And why does it look like a big budget episode of "24"?
-
Seriously, stop shitting on 24 you crazed Lost fanatics. Sure sometimes there are lapses in logic and plot, but the pacing, excitement, acting and action make you forget them. Lost is like watching paint dry. The supposed cliffhanger for Season 3 Part 1 was fucking awful. There hasn't been a damn good episode that made me go wow since they kidnapped Baby Antwonne Fisher in the finale of Season 1. And even that season was hit or miss. Don't be mad that David Fury left Lost and went to 24 and then helped it have it's best season ever. You can call me a 24 "Stan" but fuck it, I love that show.
-
Gotta Eat Brotha!!!!
-
is dampened by the pro-torture stance of the show. This is how propaganda works: present a false reality where the only sane response is the position you support. MI5 works better: it makes you think. 24 is exciting but empty.
-
The Simpsons movie is now almost pointless because the show is so old and boring now. The only reason they're making it is because they've milked the TV show to the point of nausea. I want a 24 movie now, not when the show is more tired than Ford in Indy IV.
-
I just don't get it. This show sucks. Especially when compared to The Antiques Roadshow. Jack Bauer is a weenie. Especially when compared to me. The guy who loves The Antiques Roadshow.
-
If the first 4 are any indication, it kicks last seasons ass but good. I wasn't even that excited about Season 6 but seeing these has totally changed my mind.
-
if its real time that is
-
Skip the movie and just focus on the TV show. Everything need not be a movie.
-
Funny 24 parody I just saw. RIP ALMEIDA!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmL8A-1nBgI

saint. Bless you for saying 'no' to violence on TV, and yes to how much that old platter is worth!
-
I think what happygocrappy's talking about is "Jack Bauer and Tony Almeida at a Drive-Thru" on youtube. The Tony guy is pretty good.
-
I was the first reply on this talkback and I wrote Who Cares? That offended you guys? Don't make me say it again
-
which is a shame. If only they could make it feel fresh again. *sighs* Ahh season 1 - those were magic days.
-
We got a cool TV show and it *gasp* is still cool...and some people cry about no movie? Now - if we only had a "Nowhere Man" movie...I'd be excited.
-
in this case. The show is so successful because of the current format its in. I don't think there is a need to change that so that it can go up on the big screen. Perhaps down the road when the show is off the air and you get someone else to be Jack or someone similar. Do it a la Mission Impossible, which I think movies I and III succeed at.
-
but Kiefer will be a true bad ass soon..can u say Raistlin Majere?!!!!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0825245/ -
Now that Curtis dies in episode 4 this season... are we going to have interesting enough characters around by the time the movie is made?... It should just be Jack (and his sack) on their own.
-
...what season Jack Bauer said "SHUT-UP, STUPID" to some terrorist clown? Very funny stuff.
