This makes just a small push from the timeline that has been casually discussed by participants in the past. In October, Sutherland said the script was almost done,
Other statements this year had put the hopeful timeline for the shoot as December 2011 or January 2012. Not bad for a show that wrapped a year and a half ago — 24 is actually moving to the big screen pretty quickly, as these things go.
We are coming very close to having a finished script. That’s been the most difficult thing. You have to remember that we have 24 hours to explain the stories in 24 and so trying to condense that into a two-hour film version has been a real shift in gear for us. We were originally trying to make it too big and put too much into it – but once we relaxed, we found out how to tell that story. So yes we definitely do plan on making the film.
