24: The Movie Due Out In 2012
« on: April 12, 2011, 10:47:52 AM »
It had better be damn good because I honestly do not see why anyone would pay to see 2+ hours of 24. I mean, that's right isn't it? In order for it to "be" 24 it has to be shown in "real time" otherwise they might as well call it the continuing adventures of Jack Bauer. Which would (or could) be fine. It just wouldn't be 24.

So I guess the movie would be pretty much non-stop action/action/action with a dozen or so mini cliffhangers built into it. Which presents another problem...how could you get up and go for more popcorn and/or visit the toilet without missing a huge chunk of the story?

Sounds like a long movie starring a short subject .

Well, that's just it...it's either in real time like the tv series and it covers 2 to 2.5 hours or it covers 24 hours in traditional story telling mode within the alloted movie time. Either way, it had better have a heck of a script to live up to the original concept.

I wonder what resurrected it? I read not two or three months ago that the plan to make a "24" feature film was scrapped and dead in the water.
