Billy Ray ("Breach," "Shattered Glass") wrote a script for the big-screen incarnation of a day in the life of hero on the run Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), but the studio passed on on the premise.
"There was a script, but ultimately it wasn't the right proposition. It wasn't strong enough or compelling enough to the studio obviously to move ahead with it."
Gordon says that he's not involved in the project anymore but says director Tony Scott "has an idea that he is going to run it by or has run it by Kiefer Sutherland. I don't know what the status of it is."
Let's face it the very format works better as a weekly one hour drama-and might have a hard time as a feature-I'm a big fan of Ray's work and would love to what his script entailed/why the suits passed. I gotta be honest and also say that the notion of Tony Scott running Jack's life has my mind spinning with what could be.
