There's a rumor circulating that a big-screen version of 24 is being contemplated. Much as I like 24, I don't think it makes sense to me.
A "real time" movie has already been done several times before. Hitchcock's Rope not only was a notable "real time" movie, but founded Hollywood's fascination with "one-ers" -- long, continuous takes with no camera cuts. Nick of Time was a more recent effort, starring Johnny Depp and Christopher Walken (ergo, it had to be good). And both of those films were totally "real time," not this bizarre hybrid as mentioned in the above story about 24.
Not that I wouldn't be right there on opening day to see it if they did make it.

Would it be a 24-hour long movie? If it only lasts two hours, shouldn't it be called "2"?
Maybe that's why they're talking about this whole "first half of the movie isn't in real time" thing... so that it can span 24 hours?
unless they plan on making a dozen movies. "24 the Movie: 12:00 AM to 2:00 AM." to be continued next movie season in "24 the Movie: 2:00 AM to 4:00 AM." etc...
actually if they filmed them all at the same time and brought one out every other month?? return of the movie serials from the (?)1930's? I have to admit I'd probably go to each one! $$$!!!
