Just a month ago, it was reported that a movie based on the popular Fox television show
24 wasn't going forward as stated by Kiefer Sutherland in interviews with a representative of 20th Century Fox saying that the project had been shelved based on the script they received last year. Even so, actor Kiefer Sutherland still seems confident that a movie might happen.
Sutherland was on Good Morning America promoting his appearance on Broadway in
That Championship Season recently, and the show´s co-host, George Stephanopoulos, asked him whether there will be a movie.
Yes, there will be a 24 movie. Kiefer said
Then later on Live with Regis and Kelly, Sutherland expressed that he still feels they haven't finished and it's "still a presence" in his life. When asked by the co-hosts of that show the same question, he added to his earlier comment
We hopefully will start next January and I think Tony Scott is one of the directors that has expressed great interest in doing it and he would be fantastic, so I'm very excited about that.
