Jack Bauer has had one heck of a week. So far his hit TV show 24 has lasted for most of a work week, as the show is currently in the midst of a hopping season five.
During this time, Jack has done everything to save America, from chopping off dead guy’s fingers to getting himself hooked on heroin. It would seem though, that as hard as he fights during the week, it’s never enough. His weekend is about to be invaded too, and in the movie theatre no less.
There are big plans to make Fox’s hit show 24 (DVDs) into a movie. It’s in
the middle of it’s fifth season, and the fans are as loyal as ever, but
are they loyal enough to follow the it to the movies? Couldn’t
they see the same thing from their worn-out recliner? Keifer
Sutherland (winner of a Screen Actors Guild Award on Sunday for
Outstanding Performance By A Male Actor)
certainly thinks so:
"I think there’s always a way to actually
deal with the idea of 24 as a film that would completely be separate
from 24 the television show. And by that I mean the characters could be
different. They could be completely unrelated, and I think that would
still be effective."
An unrelated movie based on the TV show, but still starring
Sutherland. Maybe instead of 24, they should call it 2 Hours And 13 Minutes, if they’re shooting for any sort of real-time accuracy, anyway.
On a side note: ex-prisoner of war, ex-presidential hopeful and
current Senator John McCain was brought to Hollywood on Senatorial
mumbo-jumbo, and he requested to see 24‘s set. The visit got him a
walk-on role as a nameless bureaucrat that hands off a file to a cast
regular.
Popular rumour that we just made up has it that another upcoming
episode features Hillary Rodham Clinton waxing philosophical in a
speakeasy wearing nothing but a black beret and a hefty cinch sack. In
part of the dialogue she supposedly found a rhyme for: "I can’t divorce
him, think of my presidential bid, man!" What exactly that rhyme is,
our guy inside failed to tell us.
All this politicians and non-related movies business has given hecklerspray a plot idea
for the upcoming 24 movie: Al Gore is sold to a businessman by a
Chinese mystic’s forgetful relative. The businessman then gives him as
a gift to his son (i.e. Sutherland), who accidentally feeds him after
midnight and waters him something fierce, causing a little Al ball to
explode off his neck while he’s adorably driving a Barbie car. Then
there’s two Gore sheepherding gremlin cowboys that just can’t quit each
other.
At this point, all sane people in the audience will think: "Oscar!"

Jack Bauer says
A 24 movie would be great as long as they stick to the principals of 24 but work out how to squeeze enough into 2-3 hours.
