Kiefer: A Series of Big Screen 24 Flicks?

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, our man Kiefer talks about the possibility of a 24 big screen movie.

''It can be an amazing series of movies,'' he says. ''One of the things I've experienced making this show is that an audience can handle a lot more than we thought when we started — the tension, the anxiety.... If we could [compress] all the energy we spread over 24 hours of programming and put that into 2, I think we'd knock your socks off.''

One of the things that seems to get repetitive over the seasons is the big-bad conspiracy always plotting for "that one day," so a shorter 24 might be a bit more realistic, but would it have the thrills and cliffhangers of the show? Probably not.

But there's a bit of speculation for this season, straight from Kiefer himself.

''We've known from the very beginning that it never can run forever with the same characters, and I'm one of those characters,'' he says.

We've been teased with Jack's death plenty of times before, and with a few actors already signed up for season 6, it seems unlikely that the foreshadowed death will happen this year. But then again, with 24, you never know. -- Jason
