Kiefer Sutherland Addresses a Possible 24 Movie on THE TONIGHT SHOW: ‘If We Don’t Get it Into This Slot, We’ll Do it Next Year’

For fans of 24, the status of the possible follow-up movie has been quite the roller coaster.

While everyone involved seems eager to put Jack Bauer on the big screen, after several stop-starts since the series ended in 2010, it appeared the project hit yet another speed bump earlier this week when a Fox spokesperson confirmed the project was being put on hold due to timing issues. (24 star Kiefer Sutherland is currently committed to the television series, TOUCH, which has its official series premiere next week.)

However, when Sutherland went on THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO earlier today, he seemed a bit more optimistic things might work out — and if they didn’t this year, they’d square things away by next year.

Take a look!

Are you counting down for a possible 24 movie? Or do you hope they let the series rest in peace?
