I just read a report that said that everything seemed to be in place for a 24 feature film, but Fox rejected the script.
I have a feeling that if this movie doesn't get made soon, it won't get made at all, because this is the kind of situation where you have to strike while the iron is hot... because people forget about a series after a while, so the return of Jack Bauer in a feature film might not have the same impact in 2-5 years that it would have during the upcoming summer for instance.
Yes, there is talk of Tony Scott being involved and such, but while everyone is trying to put a positive spin on this, I think the script being rejected is likely going to be the first step in the process of the project finally getting killed by studio executives... at least for theatrical release.
But I know there are a lot of people who want more Bauer action, but honestly, I am fine with the way the show ended. Of all the finales I saw over the past few years, it was one of the more satisfying conclusions, and I am prepared to live with that ending.
