Jack Bauer has the same initials as James Bond and Jason Bourne.
Personally, Ive got mixed feelings about the potential movie.
Few TV shows feel so laser-welded to the television medium as24.

(Although, counter-opinion, my mother still loves it.)
I like the choice of Billy Ray as a screenwriter.
He wrote the screenplays forVolcano,Harts War, andFlightplan all terrible.
(Maybe not so much withVolcano.)
third-act vacation to Antarctica!)
, but its very hugeness seemed to obscure all the little sardonic touches that madeX-Filessuch a great show.
My only piece of advice for the24producers, then, is: Keep It Simple.
Dont feel the need to make a globe-trottingCasino Royale-esque action epic, with Parkour chases and comely femmes fatale.
We dont need to seeJack Bauer Goes to Kabul(although that would work as a sitcom reboot.)
What do you want to see from a24movie, PopWatchers?
And if Billy Ray doesnt direct, who would you like to see helm the feature?
In my dreams, it would be twist-master Chris Nolan, but I imagine hes a little busy.
