Kiefer Sutherland Confirmed To Star In Tim Kring Pilot ‘Touch;’ Says ‘24’ Movie Still Happening

Deadline broke the news of Sutherland’s commitment which will begin in late May, early June. That means it will miss the upfronts and, at earliest, could be a mid-season replacement. That’s if it gets picked up, of course.
For more info on Touch, what Sutherland has been up to recently – including his new movie, online show, Broadway show That Championship Season and more, check out our previous article. We covered it all and not much has changed.
But if you clicked through to here, you really want to know about the 24 movie and here’s the latest, thanks to Coming Soon.
Sutherland is doing the rounds promoting That Championship Season and, on Good Morning America, said the following:
Later, he drove down the street to Live with Regis and Kelly and once again confirmed the statement:
Yes, there will be a 24 movie.
While it sounds like he’s pretty positive about it, it still sounds like nothing is set. In fact, this is pretty much the exact same thing he said last month with the addition of the Tony Scott info, which had been rumored as well.
We hopefully will start next January and I think Tony Scott is one of the directors that has expressed great interest in doing it and he would be fantastic, so I’m very excited about that.
24 fans should remain cautiously optimistic. If Sutherland is in, chances are they’ll make it happen, but there are certainly a whole bunch of hoops that still need to be jumped through.
