Back in April of 2010, we learned from Kiefer Sutherland that the script for the much-anticipated 24 movie was being or had been written … but in the year since, there has been no news or evident movement on the project … until now. Brian Grazer announced on Twitter that after talking with Sutherland, the plan is to bring 24 to the big screen in 2012! Woot!!

The news only gets better for fans who are anxiously awaiting the return of Jack Bauer: Uber-producer Brian Grazer recently tweeted that he’s on board for long-gestating 24 movie. “Got off the phone Keifer yesterday and we are very excited about producing the 24 movie for next year,” he tweeted. Grazer’s involvement makes sense since Imagine Entertainment, the company he co-owns with Ron Howard, produced the long running action drama for Fox. Last month, Kiefer Sutherland told the women of The View that the movie will come out in 2012.

You may recall that in February, we learned that Kiefer is planning a return to TV in a new series set to air on Fox this Fall … that news kinda lead me to believe that the 24 movie was being shelved for a while. I am SO happy to learn that that is NOT the case. I am SO counting on this happening now … both Brian Grazer and Kiefer Sutherland wouldn’t lie to us … would they? Are you excited for 24: The Movie?
