Jack is back!
After much speculation, innuendo, and terrorist plots, we finally possess some concrete news on the impending 24 movie. The film finally has a script writer as Mark Bomback has been tapped to write the screenplay. Imagine Entertainment and 20th Century Fox however are insisting that the script be finished by the end of the year, reason being they want to start shooting this Spring when Kiefer Sutherland is available.
I understand the need to please the studio, but isn't it more important to produce a quality script and not rush it? This is 24 after all and I'd rather production be delayed in order to create a good script. Otherwise you are liable to end up with something akin to White Chicks or Insert Adam Sandler comedy here. Furthermore, what the hell is Kiefer Sutherland doing that he can't be available a little later? Last time I checked there was no Flatliners sequel or Young Guns III in the works.
Tony Scott is no longer attached to direct unfortunately, but I'd suggest bringing back one of the directors from the actual television show. The show did last for eight seasons so I'm pretty sure they know what they are doing.
24 is set to begin filming in April 2012.
