Is not using real-time a bad idea?

DSi · Is not using real-time a bad idea?

"MTV News in April 2006, the show's star Kiefer Sutherland announced that a script was in development and that the film would abandon the real-time format of the show, but instead would cover one 24-hour period." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24_%28film%29#Feature_film

Do you think the producers are making a mistake by not using real-time?

DSi

I don't this it's a bad idea because if the movie was in real-time, it would be too short to cover a 2-hour period, and not enough would happen to build up the storyline.

Terri

Yeah absolutly when i first heard there was gonna be a movie i hoped it would be real time, it just wouldnt work, they cant show enough of a storyline in 2 hours.

PreviouslyOn24

There are examples of non-real time 24 stuff, like the Day 6 Debrief and the comic books and game, which all work amazingly and are worthy additions to the franchise.

Ticking clock in film? Yes!

Real time in film? No!

Imagine if the movie was actually 24 hours long. That would be the most awesome test of a true 24 fan, whether they could watch the entire movie! lol! I think if I did that I would have to buy the largest drink the theatre had, and not just for drinking either! lol. Of course, a 24 hour long movie would really just be like a regular season I guess.

DSi

If the movie were 24 hours long, I'd probably wait till it came out on DVD, buy it, then watch a couple hours every day for a couple weeks. But that'd be the exact same as a full season Very Happy

Josephine Marcus

Yeah, I was thinking that. But then they could have it in theatres for the die hard fans! Lol... Tickets are expensive enough now...

It could be a straight to dvd movie like the Family Guy movie.

Josephine Marcus

No! I want to see 24 in theaters!

whycantkimdie?

Me too I'm just sayin...

Josephine Marcus

That would be crappy if it just went right to DVD, granted we could see it sooner, but still.

slade

Wait, there's a Family Guy movie?

The only way they can go is make it say, 3 hours long with the last 1 or 2 hours in real time.

But no matter how they do it, it's not going to be the same 24.

Josephine Marcus

3 hours would be fine. The third POTC movie was pretty close to 3 hours and I saw in theaters twice.

Sandervs

POTC 3 was a really good movie, the first POTC is still the best.

Josephine Marcus

Yeah, not many sequels are ever as good as the first ones, but if the 24 movie was about 3 hours long, I think it would toleratable.

Sandervs

I really see forward to the forth POTC

kazine

Real time is what makes 24 so awesome. *tear*

Josephine Marcus

But you cant have a 24 movie, then it would just be another season.

kazine

Why bother with the movie? XD

Josephine Marcus

Because then you can watch 24 in the THEATER!!!!

You get to hear things like "DAMMIT!" and "We are out of time!" in surround sound!!!

whycantkimdie?

I will just scream at the screen like I do at home and get chucked out.

Josephine Marcus

Yeah... me too...

DSi

Josephine Marcus

Still, even if I was as lucky as DSi, I'd still want to go see it in the cinemas. Like in Rocky Balboa, I just have to see it on the big screen.

Josephine Marcus

Yes!! But the best thing would be if they would show it here, on the IMAX screen!!!!!!

Takeshi_K

Nah, I don't think so. I mean, there's real-time in the seasons, I don't think it would harm the movie in any way and people would still like the movie.

Special Agent Mike

I voted No.

Josephine Marcus

... and 'No' seems to be winning

Special Agent Mike

Yes indeed.

goatsheep

real time is what the bloody show is about, so they should either abandon the film or call it "2" or however long it will be

Josephine Marcus

Lol... 2. What a stupid show that would be.

cartim
