Now, a number of you may be fans and may "strike me down" for never seeing a single episode of the series. Well, this news is for the fans and I thought it was a little interesting. Read on:

STUPID!!!
The thing that makes 24 unique and not just another action show is that it occurs in (nearly) real time, over the course of a single day. That's what gives the show the edge. There's no way that can be made into a movie unless the movie occurs over 2-3 hours of real time (in which case it wouldn't be 24, it would be 2).

The following takes place between 2PM and 4:30PM.
I think it would be great. Yes, 24 occuring in real time makes it unique, but it's also restricting. In a 2 1/2 hour movie think about all the crappy subplots they can leave out. Just like this season with the CTU chick and her ex-boyfriend. Who cares! All the scenes with the President - who cares! 2 1/2 hours of Jack being Jack! It will be like the intro movie that came out before last season - more action and less downtime.

Honestly, it can work. 24: Redemption, with the obvious exception of the name, worked pretty well. Having a whole movie take place in real-time makes for an insanely fast-paced story and, if done well, could be a really good watch. |
