Well this is a nice realtime punch to the gut. The anticipated Kiefer Sutherland project to bring badass ‘Jack Bauer’ to the silver screen this year seems to have hit a delay due to the dreaded ‘Scheduling conflicts’. As it stands the planned theatrical version of ’24’ won’t film later this month as originally planned and does not yet have a revised production schedule or release date.

Sutherland has a brand new show on FOX called “Touch,” and was planning to shoot the 24 movie in the upcoming break between seasons. But Deadline says they would have had to rush the shoot, which was something Sutherland and mega-producer Brian Grazer didn’t want to do. So the movie hasn’t been killed completely, just indefinitely delayed.
I don’t like the phrase “indefinitely delayed”. It just pains me to see those words attached to any project I’m looking forward to and ’24’ just happens to be one that a lot of us were REALLY looking forward to. Maybe he can squeeze this one in between seasons?
