FOX Broadcasting Company's recent limited TV series "24: Live Another Day" was solid enough in the ratings to revive talk about the possibility of a big screen version.
The series 24 followed a day in the life of counter terrorist hero on the run Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland).
Though never officially green lit, the film had a script in which Mark Bomback ("The Wolverine" "Shadow Divers") had tweaked from Billy Ray's initial script that was reportedly going to be the first in a possible film trilogy. Antoine Fuqua was tipped to call action before things fell apart.
Series co-creators Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran and show runner Howard Gordon initially planned a feature film between the sixth and seventh season of the show. It was then decided to hold off until the series ended.
Now, TV Line reports that interest in the film has happened again with Imagine Entertainment planning to pitch a feature length premise to studio bosses at Fox.
Imagine chief Brian Grazer is said to really like the pitch which is a new idea for the film that's different to the previous effort that never took off. How it will tie into the end if 'LAD' and what characters we can expect to see is unknown at this point.
