Will Jack Bauer ever make it to the Big Screen?

If you were a fan of the hit thriller TV series 24 (2001-2010) like me, you're probably hoping that we haven't seen the last of CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit) agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland). 24 was unique and awesome in its own way. Each season revolved around the course of 24 hours, hence the name, with each episode covering one hour. For Eight thrilling seasons we saw Jack Bauer and his CTU colleagues fighting terrorist attacks, government corruption, cyber attacks, biological attacks, betrayals, and nuclear threats. One heck of day!

Now, with the series being over, there has been confirmation about a 24 feature film follow-up. That's the good news, the bad news is when it will see the light of day (no pun intended). The plot of the movie would once again follow Jack Bauer over the course of 24 hours except this time it's supposed to be a two hour representation of a 24 hour day. Sounds difficult to pull off but plausible. Recently, a script for the film adapation was handed in by screen writer Billy Ray but it was turned down by FOX executives. So, once again the film is up in limbo.

I have a bad feeling it may be stuck in development hell...hopefully I'm wrong. But until we see or hear anything new about the 24 film, we can always relive Jack Bauer's adventures on DVD.
