The feature film version of 24 is being postponed, script delays being named as the culprit and in the mean time Kiefer Sutherland will be starring in the new thriller Mirrors instead. Our friends over at moviesonline.ca give us the details:
ComingSoon.net reported that FOX has postponed the filming of the “24” feature film until next summer, citing the script not being ready as the main issue. In light of the “24” movie’s new 2008 filming schedule, Sutherland has taken up the horror film “Mirrors” for this hiatus. He will star as a mall security guard who quickly finds something disturbing in the mall’s mirrors, and this sets him out trying to “discover the origin of the evil.” Alexandre Aja (“The Hills Have Eyes” and “High Tension“) is set to direct and has written the latest script for “Mirrors,” which is set to begin filming on May 1st in Romania
Well if the script isn’t ready then it’s not ready. I’m glad that they have decided to take their time and get it right since the last few news articles on the 24 movie have met with mixed feelings.
In the mean time this Mirrors movies sounds pretty freaky thriller, the director Alexandre Aja scared the crap out of me with his last two films (The Hills Have Eyes and High Tension). I’m down for having Sutherland freak me out in theaters this summer.
