24 is a planned feature film adaptation of the popular television series, 24. The film was originally scheduled to be released in 2008, but in April 2007, it was announced that plans to shoot the film have been put on hold.[1]

The creators of the film originally announced that filming was not expected to start until after the seventh season of 24 is finished in 2008.[2] Later reports suggested that the film was to begin shooting in Spring and Summer 2007 after season six was completed and before the seventh season.[1]

In an interview with MTV News in April 2006, the show's star Kiefer Sutherland announced that a script was in development and that the film would abandon the real-time format of the show.[3] In May 2006, Sutherland told British newspaper The Sun that shooting of the film will begin in London in May 2007.[1] Filming will also take place in Prague and Morocco.[4] The film was officially announced in June 2006.[5]

In an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times, Sutherland confessed, "Anytime (the production team) got really close to having a great idea for having a film, we needed it for episode 18. So there it went."[6]
