24

There have been rumblings for a while that a theatrical film would be made of the TV series 24.  Now, it appears, the first 24 film will be a TV affair, instead.  Apparently the 2 hour film will bridge the two year gap between seasons six and seven.  Two years?  Doesn’t every season of this show take place two or three years apart?  At some point, isn’t this chronology going to catch up with the producers?  Maybe this is why Jack has tech gadgets that only exist in fantasy?  Regardless, the 2 hour film will air this fall with the seventh season to follow in spring 2009.
