Variety is reporting that Jack Bauer’s big screen debut is now officially on the clock. Twentieth Century Fox’s film division is scooping up its hit TV series, “24” starring Kiefer Sutherland as the no-nonsense enemy to terrorists everywhere, and gunning to spin it off into a potential feature film franchise.
Screenwriter Bill Ray (”State of Play”) is maneuvering to send Bauer to Europe, and has been endorsed by Sutherland, according to intelligence reports. It could take a long time, however, for “24″ to go into production, since the producers and cast are currently filming the eighth season of the show, and a ninth season is still a possibility. Fox insiders told Variety that a decision on renewing “24″ for another season could be based on ratings out this week.
