Thought: Questions about the upcoming “24” movie…

Leave a comment

After the announcement of the “24” movie officially happening, there are some questions that needs answers for the upcoming film.

Here they are:

  • How is the film going to be shot in real time? – I don’t think this will be a 24 hour long movie. It’ll probably be about 2 or 3 hours. Will they split the movie in different sequels? It’s going to be interesting how they’re going to pull this off.
  • Will the original cast return? Will everyone from the TV show comeback, all the characters? Tony, Chloe, Bill, Edgar, Kim, etc. I’m sure we’re going to see some familiar faces. David Palmer and Michelle can’t comeback ’cause they were killed off in Season 5.
  • Will there be a lot of split screens? “24” is known for it’s split screens throughout the show, I’m sure the movie will do the same, but with this being Hollywood, I’m sure they will do the split screens much differently.
  • What is the plot? How will the action be? – The film needs to have a really good plot if they want people to care about “24”, again. The show is also known for being violent and having lots of action. I’m sure the movie will be the same. Again, with this being Hollywood, this is an opportunity for the film to be even more violent than the TV show. I’m hoping it won’t be PG-13 rated and it will get a hard R rating.
  • Will they pick a big name star or an unknown actor for the film’s leading villain? – Most of the 24 villains from the TV shows have been unknown actors, but I think they should go for a big name for this one.

That’s pretty much it. Once the film hires a director, they’ll get right to work on the casting next. It’s going to be interesting on how they’re going to pull the “24” movie off. I hope they do it right.

I started watching Season 5 last night. I had enough with WWE RAW, so I skipped it and watched “24” on Netflix instead.

BREAKING NEWS: “24” big screen movie confirmed to start production in Spring of 2012!!!

Leave a comment

This is great news for “24” fans, like myself! Look like the “24” big screen movie is definitely going to happen after all, because Mark Bomback, a screenwriter for “The Wolverine” and “Shadow Divers” will hand in the final script for 20th Century Fox. Since Tony Scott dropped out of the project, the studio has about 5 different directors in mind. So as soon as a director is hired, the studio plans to get the “24” movie in production very quickly, soon to be starting in, April of 2012.

Deadline, reports.

I see a late 2013 release date for this movie. I’m so glad that Kiefer is on board to playing Jack Bauer again. I’m still halfway through the show on Netflix, I still need to start Season 5 which I will tonight. At least, I have plenty of time to catch up with the show before the big screen movie comes out!

This is exciting news. I’m sure the rest of the characters will return. I’m sure the movie will have a great plot and lots of non stop action. Just think what  “24” big screen movie would be like. While the TV show can get violent and graphic, the movie is an opportunity for a hard R rating. The “24” movie needs to be an epic action movie. I hope they don’t give it a PG-13 rating ’cause “24” is certainly not family friendly. I remembered the show was aired late at night on FOX.

I hope they don’t do the Bin Laden plot and I hope they leave 9/11 out of it ’cause that would be silly. Jack Bauer going after terrorists in Afghanistan is fine though.

“24” is my new Netflix addiction!!!

Leave a comment

Over the weekend, I have decided to start watching Kiefer Sutherland’s “24” on Netflix. I’m already addicted to the show and watched the first 8 episodes of Season 1 already. It’s another one of those shows that will immediately grab you and keep you hooked ’til the very end. When “24” used to air on TV in the past, I saw some of the newer episodes but never the earlier show.

Jack Bauer is such a great character, he’s so badass. Glad I finally got into this show. The writing is really impressive. I remember this show being pretty high in the ratings and it was very popular. I can see why now.

I hope the “24” movie for the big screen happens soon ’cause I remember Kiefer said they were planning one.

Bin Laden in the movies…

Leave a comment

Now that Bin Laden is gone, you can expect a bunch of Hollywood movies about Bin Laden coming the way. In fact, there is already one in the works right now. Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal, the same makers of the Iraq war film, “The Hurt Locker” is getting right to work on a movie about killing Bin Laden.

Deadline, reports.

You can expect both the movie and music industry to obsess with Bin Laden’s death. Yes, there will be bands and songwriters to write songs about Bin Laden.

About Bin Laden in the movies, I had a feeling that Kathryn Bigelow would be the first to pick up on it. You can expect a Bin Laden biopic film coming the way too.

There will be plenty of TV shows about Bin Laden. You can expect Law and Order TV show to do their own version of the Bin Laden killing as well.

I would also expect the “24” movie to hit the big screen soon, so hopefully Keifer Sutherland and the film makers would move forward with the film. I’m sure they’ll get right on it. The TV show “24” is about Jack Bauer hunting down dangerous terrorists. Keifer said many times in interviews that a “24” movie for the big screen is in the planning stages, but they have never gone as far as making it just yet. Maybe they’ll get right to work on it asap. Hopefully. Will we see Jack Bauer killing Bin Laden on the big screen? We’ll have to keep our fingers crossed for now.

Report: 24 is coming to the big screen, Jack Bauer ready to kick your ass!!

Leave a comment

This is big news for fans of the hit TV show, “24” starring Kiefer Sutherland. “24” is finally coming to the big screen! Is this the studios way of competing with Jason Bourne and James Bond? Seems like it. If legendary TV shows like “Star Trek”, “Sex and the City”, and “X-Files” can successfully come to the big screen, why not, “24”?

I wasn’t that big of a fan of the show but I do like it and did watch it sometimes. I’ll see the film when it hits theaters, sure. With “24” being an action packed TV show, I’m pretty sure they have plans to make the movie version ten times more violent. So be ready for a big action packed movie, folks!

It’s awesome that Kiefer is finally coming back to the big screen in a huge way ’cause he hasn’t had a huge franchise since the two Young Guns movies.
