"Kiefer Sutherland has once again insisted that he is &amp;quot;anxious&amp;quot; to make a 24 movie. A film version of the popular Fox drama has been in development since the show ended in 2010.   &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve been working very hard to make that happen,&amp;quot; Sutherland is quoted as saying by Yahoo. &amp;quot;The process has taken us so long because it&amp;#039;s such a complicated script to write.&amp;quot; He explained: &amp;quot;Normally, we have 24 hours to tell a story. Trying to condense it into two hours involves a lot of hard choices: What kind of story do you want to tell? How political do you want to make it? How character-driven do you want to make it?&amp;quot; Sutherland added that he is keen to recruit a director and begin casting the movie adaptation. &amp;quot;The film will pick up with Jack Bauer six months after the end of the final TV episode,&amp;quot; he confirmed. &amp;quot;We still need to find a director and see which actors from the series would be available to return to do the film with me.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Kiefer Sutherland: &amp;#039;I couldn&amp;#039;t find work after 24&amp;#039; &amp;gt; Kiefer Sutherland: &amp;#039;24 movie will shoot in 2013&amp;#039; The 45-year-old actor - who first played Jack Bauer in 2001 - also dismissed the suggestion that interest in a 24 film is lessening the longer it takes the project to materialise. &amp;quot;I think audiences still remember the series and have a huge interest in seeing what a film version would be like,&amp;quot; he insisted. &amp;quot;People still tell me how much they loved Jack Bauer and I think audiences appreciated that he wasn&amp;#039;t a typical hero-type and had many flaws and contradictions.  &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ll also have a lot more creative freedom and possibilities doing the film as opposed to the kinds of limitations you have when doing a TV series in real time.&amp;quot; Watch Kiefer Sutherland discuss the 24 movie with Digital Spy below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
