The 24 Movie Postponed??

24th by kurdt420	Jan 9th, 2007 09:08:40 PM
seemed fitting
Too Soon! by darquelyte	Jan 9th, 2007 09:10:16 PM
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!

24 Movie Now = Flames On Optimus
DAMN IT! by SquirrelPhister	Jan 9th, 2007 09:13:01 PM
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)

All us non-TV watchers just shrug..... by GibsonUSA Returns	Jan 9th, 2007 09:20:42 PM
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....

Good lord if it's THIS bad now... by TheSeeker7	Jan 9th, 2007 09:25:43 PM
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?
can you really combine two catchphrases? by Deus Vult	Jan 9th, 2007 09:27:19 PM
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.
DAMN YOU TAINT!!! by Womb2dooM	Jan 9th, 2007 09:29:19 PM

Hey, Seeker7 by Cymbol	Jan 9th, 2007 09:36:43 PM
Don't count out the need for pure escapism. It's a fun show. Nothing more or less. Peace.
precisely and a question for you and everyone else by Deus Vult	Jan 9th, 2007 09:38:57 PM
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...
forgot the question of course by Deus Vult	Jan 9th, 2007 09:45:44 PM
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?
I don't watch TV but I've heard of this show... by Dick Nicely	Jan 9th, 2007 09:50:47 PM
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?
Nice to see I didn't miss anything important by S-Mart shopper	Jan 9th, 2007 09:52:07 PM
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!
ehhh actually, Cymbol, I'd argue against that... by TheSeeker7	Jan 9th, 2007 09:52:54 PM
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 ;)
Who Cares by jimmy_009	Jan 9th, 2007 09:55:40 PM
It would just be two more hours of the exact same thing. 24 is boring.
I don't want a 24 movie anyway! by Style_92	Jan 9th, 2007 09:56:55 PM
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!

24 movie already came out, it was called The Sentinel by S-Mart shopper	Jan 9th, 2007 10:00:01 PM

Don't worry about no '24' movie by Bobo_Vision	Jan 9th, 2007 10:02:15 PM
I've heard you can watch the TV show absolutely free. So you don't have to wait months for an opening, don't have to pay 12 bucks, and don't have to sit next to irritating people talking and eating popcorn. AND, it will be several more hours than the two hours that a movie would run. So cheer up.
S mart shopper, if you had actually seen The Sentinal by Style_92	Jan 9th, 2007 10:02:32 PM
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.
SPOILER plotline by SaluteYourShorts	Jan 9th, 2007 10:02:48 PM
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!

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 by dcprules	Jan 9th, 2007 10:07:09 PM
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.
You know, maybe the best way to make a 24 movie is too. by Style_92	Jan 9th, 2007 10:08:12 PM
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.
TV VIEWERS GOTTA EAT by dregmobile	Jan 9th, 2007 10:09:04 PM

Just a rumor at this point by SaluteYourShorts	Jan 9th, 2007 10:10:32 PM
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.
I don't mind the catch phrases... by Style_92	Jan 9th, 2007 10:13:35 PM
As long as they're used correctly. Tv viewers gotta eat? what the hell does that mean in this situation?

What's with the 24 haters?! by Womb2dooM	Jan 9th, 2007 10:40:16 PM
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 by SaluteYourShorts	Jan 9th, 2007 11:14:16 PM
"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.

24 works because by veritasses	Jan 10th, 2007 12:10:01 AM
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.

Entertainment Weekly has some news straight from Keifer by seanny_d	Jan 10th, 2007 01:07:29 AM
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.

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!!

Aint it cool: RIP by MonkeyManReturns	Jan 10th, 2007 03:19:40 AM
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.

I don't need a 24 movie. It's just fine on TV as is. by L.H.Puttgrass	Jan 10th, 2007 03:34:43 AM
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 it work as a movie? by moviemaniac-7	Jan 10th, 2007 03:46:20 AM
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...

Fox probably wanna see how DieHard 4 fares commercially by Wayne6000	Jan 10th, 2007 04:31:33 AM
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.
good - itll be crap by Kawaii	Jan 10th, 2007 05:49:07 AM
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.
MonkeyDude... by just pillow talk	Jan 10th, 2007 06:51:15 AM
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!
I don't want to see a 24 movie by Tin Snoman	Jan 10th, 2007 06:58:57 AM
...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.

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.

Why do I smell jealous "Lost" fanatics? by Mr. Profit	Jan 10th, 2007 08:27:11 AM
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.

My enthusiasm for this by DrManhattansUnit	Jan 10th, 2007 09:39:44 AM
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.
Gonna turn into the Simpsons movie by performingmonkey	Jan 10th, 2007 10:24:11 AM
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.
24 sucks donkey balls by batzilla	Jan 10th, 2007 11:26:27 AM

the transition from TV to Movies should not be made by just pillow talk	Jan 10th, 2007 02:13:00 PM
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.
