Keifer Sutherland, 24 Movie Confirmed

The movie version of 24 will commence shooting in spring 2012, it has been confirmed.

The adaptation of the Fox drama will star Keifer Sutherland, and is currently in pre-production.

It is believed that Die Hard 4 scribe Mark Bomback will have completed the latest script draft by the end of the year, according to Deadline.

Sutherland had said back in October that a script for a movie version was "nearly complete."

Plans for the movie began as soon as the eighth and final season wrapped in 2010.

First broadcast in 2001, 24 became a cultural reference point for the first decade of the 21st century, although waned in popularity as the years - and the format of one series lasting through a 24-hour day - went by.
