Kiefer Sutherland on 24 movie: films in “about eight months”

Kiefer Sutherland appeared on Letterman and spoke a little about the 24 movie. Check it out below:

“It’s something we’ve been working on, really, from the last season of 24, right up to this point. It was very difficult to get a script in order. We had done 200 episodes of the show, to try and create some kind of finale for us in a two hour film [was difficult]. But we finally got that in order, and now we’ve just been juggling schedules: there are actors we want to use, there’s a very small pool of directors that we’re interested in working with, and it’s just kind of getting all that stuff to work out. So I don’t think we’re going to be able to make it in the window that I was hoping for,” said Kiefer.

When Letterman asks “maybe in about eight months, is that accurate?” Kiefer responded with “That’s what we’re going to do now. In about eight months. I was hoping to be able to do it in about six weeks [from now], which was not very reasonable at all.”
