24 coming to London

Post by Ally »

Kiefer Sutherland will shoot the movie version of '24' in London.

The Hollywood actor - who plays agent Jack Bauer in the hit US espionage series - has revealed his plans to shoot the highly anticipated film in Europe.

The 39-year-old star named London and Prague among the locations.

He was quoted in Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: "The shoot will take place in London and Prague.

"Then we will use Morocco as a location - probably as an aspect of the Middle East."

The handsome actor - who has starred in several hit movies, including 'The Lost Boys', 'Flatliners' and 'Young Guns' - has also signed up for three more series of '24'.

The deal - revealed last month - is set to earn Kiefer $40 million, making the Canadian-raised actor the highest-paid drama actor on TV.

Sutherland will also be promoted from co-executive producer to executive producer and will get a two-year production development contract with Fox studios.

Greetings by the way. 24 is one of my favorite shows, but I don't have high hopes for the movie. I will take the wait and see approach, but it's getting harder to top what the first 3 seasons have done.

I also suspect the movie will be less satisfying than the series. You can achieve much more in 24 1-hour episodes than you can in a 2-3 hour movie in terms of plot and character development.

I'm pretty sure I'll watch it, in any case. It depends how this season plays out.
