Kiefer Sutherland has confirmed that the smash hit TV series ‘24′ are bringing out a movie once the show is over.
The lead male role in the show stated that the producers of the show don’t want his character ‘Jack Bauer’ in a movie until the TV series has been cancelled.
“It’s certainly on the table,” Sutherland told Extra. “We would certainly be thrilled to make it, but we’re going to wait until the series is finished.”
“It’s always been a desire but we’ve always known that for the writers, it’s so hard for them to actually get through the series every year that we put the film on the back burner, that we would do it after the series was over, and that might be as soon as next year.”
The BBC have won the bid for life time rights to air the popular TV show ‘Heroes’ in the UK .
BBC has been in talks with its provider US studio NBC Universal for some time now and has recently signed a deal with them to show all future seasons of the show. SKY also put forward a rival bid, so presumably they will be less than happy with the end result.
BBC acquisitions head George McGhee had this to say:- “As long as Heroes is on in the US, we will show Heroes,” BBC acquisitions head George McGhee “It’s a long-term partnership, and I think that was the right thing to do. [NBC] are really pleased that we’ve got Heroes - and they don’t want it going to a commercial broadcaster.”
The BBC is to air the 3rd series of the cult drama on BBC 2 & BBC 3 in September, only days after its shown in the US.
