UPDATE – 1/21/11

Kiefer Sutherland now says it’s been difficult putting a script together, but production will begin in eight months.

***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****

Fans of Kiefer Sutherland‘s “24″ had hoped there would be a big screen version of the hit TV series.

And it seemed like it was going to happen.

When the show ended last spring, Sutherland himself said, “We wanted to create a definitive end for [his character] Jack Bauer… Since we do have the intention to make the feature film, it would lead into that and certainly set that up.”

But now comes word that 20th Century Fox turned down a screenplay for the film adaptation.

Howard Gordon, who produced the show, told Entertainment Weekly, “As far as I know, it is in suspended animation… There is talk about re-approaching it. I understand [director/producer] Tony Scott is meeting with Kiefer to talk about ideas. People are still talking about it.”

Hopefully, whatever issues there are with the plot can be resolved.

    WELL, That certainly does suck. Why the big headlines Gossip Cop? don’t start doing a Perez. It does not say the movie idea is gone forever. Might be, but not a definite. Your headline made it sound like it was.

    I think a “24″ movie WILL happen!! Why not?? It’s money in the bank! The series “24″ was ground-breaking ( using the 24 hour real-time filming method) and had a cast that was so perfect for this action series. No one could have played Jack Bauer but Keifer Sutherland. And we became so interested in the other characters that we were thrilled when they did unbelievable things, and devastated if they were killed while doing them. The fans need an ending. We can’t just let Jack go off into a sunset we know nothing about. We need closure for this amazing series. I, for one, am missing “24″ so much…but of course, the movie needs a dynamite script. The fans won’t settle for less. I am willing to wait if it gives us a great film. Don’t just settle to make a quick film….create the film this series deserves.
