24 movie gets the green light

Jack Bauer will live on to
save the world! 24 may
be ending, but it’s not the
last time we’ll see our
favorite action star. It’s
being reported that 24 is
being turned into a movie.
According to the New Hollywood Reporter,
the show’s producer Howard Gordon has
given the film script the go ahead. It’ll be
written by the same screenwriter who did
State of Play and Shattered Glass, and could
be out as soon "as early as next year,
depending on how things come together,”
said Gordon.
And the film is trying something completely
different from the show by taking out the
“real time” aspect. Gordon says over the
years, that’s what has made the show so
predictable.
"We've done everything we feel we can do
with that character in this format," Gordon
said. "The opportunity [of a movie] is not to
use the real-time aspect and also to do it on a
scale the TV show never allowed."
The only other thing we know about the flick
is that it will not be a prequel. So that means
Jack will likely live through the rest of this
final season. But did we expect any less?! It’s
Jack Bauer!
