24, FOX's famed real-time action-thriller series, is coming to the big screen! A Variety report reveals that 20th Century Fox and the show's producers have reached a tentative deal to adapt the series into a feature film. The 24 movie, like the small-screen version, is expected to follow the exploits of Counter Terrorist Unit agent Jack Bauer who projects the United States from whoever threatens it. While star Kiefer Sutherland has expressed interest in doing a movie version of the show, the trade adds that no agreements have been reached with any members of the cast.


A rough outline of the plot may already have been written, but it is of course being kept heavily under wraps. Instead of the story taking place over the movie's approximately 2-hour running time, the paper says that the film will likely abandon the show's unique real-time storytelling approach. Series creators Robert Cochran and Joel Surnow will pen the screenplay with executive producer Howard Gordon working on the story.

We expect fans to feverishly anticipate this one... so, what kind of timeframe are we looking at? It's possible that the feature could lens as early as next spring/summer in between shooting the sixth and possible seventh seasons of the show. It's easy to envision the sixth season finale providing a adrenaline-charged setup for the film
