‘24′ Movie Definitely Postponed, Kiefer Doing “Mirrors”
by Staff Writer
After all the hype and excitment surrounding the 24 movie it seems like it’s never going to happen.
Yes the official word is that it’s being postponed. Kiefer has signed on to do a movie called “Mirrors,” during the hiatus from 24. The same hiatus when Kiefer and the 24 team were supposed to film the movie.
Whenever news stories like this come out, it seems like it’s just the higher-ups trying to soften the blow, for when they come out and say the entire idea has been scrapped.
For me personally I wouldn’t be heartbroken if they were to shelve the idea of the movie. I keep thinking about it and just can’t figure out a way the movie would work and have the same affect the television show has.

I’d love to see a “24″ movie, but I’m kinda scared they’re gonna screw it up. I’m always apprehensive about TV shows that go to movie stage. Same with “The Simpsons”.

Bummer, I was interested in how the movie could possibly work in such a condensed time frame. For me 24 would not be 24 without the current format that they use for television. Unless they decided to make a 24 hour movie…

I definitely don’t want to sit through a 24 hour movie. I’m one who doesn’t like to get up to go to the bathroom during a movie, and I don’t think the theater people would like it if I made a mess on their floor.

While I can’t pinpoint the moment, it’s beginning to feel like the show has “jumped the shark”

I haven’t watched any of season 5 or 6. But I can see your point, Pete W. I kind of sensed that after season four, which was not as good as the first three seasons. My favorite being season 2. You gotta wonder if they’re running out of ways for terrorists to destroy America. I mean they’ve done viruses, biochemical warfare, nuclear warfare, capturing the president, etc, etc.

Season 7, Episode 1:
Bill: Jack, we know they just managed to get the bionic arm installed, and the .45 slug dug out of your head, but we need your help.
Jack: I don’t feel so good.
Bill: Terrorists have invaded Florida and are going house-to-house giving everyone younger than 60 ATOMIC WEDGIES!
Jack: Only people younger than sixty?
Bill: We think it might be a conspiracy. We want you go take a Tac’ team over to AARP headquarters and see what you can find out.
I’m going to patch you in with President Palmer.
Jack: President Palmer? They’re both dead. Wayne was thrown out of Air Force 1 by Powers Boothe in a scene that was shot in semi-black and white in the rain.
Bill: I’m sorry, Jack, you’ve been in a coma for the last 23 months, you couldn’t know… Sandra Palmer is now the President.
Jack: SANDRA?!?

I have to say that i’m actually happy that a 24 movie most likely won’t happen. I think the show only works on TV. With the dramatic pauses inbetween comercials and the actuall format of being twenty four hours… what would they call it if they made a movie? 2 1/2? Ya i think they shouldn’t mess with a good thing.
