While specificity clearly isn’t Kiefer Sutherland’s strong point, the actor has managed to narrow the release margin for upcoming 24 movie down to a single year-sized window. 2012 since you asked.

In conversation with the women from The View, America’s take on our very own Loose Women, Sutherland took time off from his promotional duties for Broadway play That Championship Season to discuss the feature film based on his Emmy award winning show.

Having previously suggesting that production might start this year, in reality the start date is still as much of an enigma as who may inevitably direct.

The story so far leaves Billy Ray’s (State of Play) script dead in the water, a loyal star battling for a big screen adaptation and 20th Century Fox in cahoots with Tony Scott (Man On Fire).

“Billy did a fantastic job and there are aspects of that story [that will remain]. I couldn’t be more thrilled.”

If Sex and the City and The X-Files are anything to go by, 24 may have one half-decent film left in it.
