Kiefer Sutherland Says 24 Movie Will Be Like Going Home

Hollywood Exclusive: Kiefer Sutherland Says '24' Movie Will Be 'Like Going Home'

Jan 12, 2012
Kiefer Sutherland.
Kiefer Sutherland.
Kiefer Sutherland smiles when he talks about anticipating the late-April/early-May start of production on the big-screen "24" movie. "That's like going home," he says of getting back into Jack Bauer's skin.

It's been more than five years since the "24" team first set its sights on making a feature. Sutherland acknowledges, "That process has taken us so long; it's such a complicated script to write. Normally, we have 24 hours to tell a story. Trying to condense it into two hours involves a lot of hard choices: What kind of story do you want to tell? How political do you want to make it? How character-driven do you want to make it?"

Sutherland was in fine form at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour this week, talking about his Jan. 25-debuting Fox "Touch" series that has him as the father of a mute, possibly autistic boy who has an astonishing understanding of numbers and their correlation to the universe.

The star was also was among the notables on hand at Fox's party at the historic Castle Green Hotel in Pasadena, Calif., where he chatted away gamely and amiably even though a small group of reporters pretty much backed him into a small space behind a grand piano. He elaborated on some of what he talked about at the earlier press conference -- including the "24" film.

As far as the answers to all those questions about how political and/or character-driven the big screen "24" will be, he laughed and said, "You'll have to wait and see it." He said that several "great actors have expressed interest in (acting in) it, either as an ally or villain."

Sutherland also anticipates more big names will turn up on "Touch" -- which already boasts Danny Glover as a professor who has a handle on matters where quantum physics meets metaphysics. "Because it's a procedural drama as opposed to a serialized show, we could get someone in and out as quickly as an episode," noted Sutherland, who is also a producer on the series. "Or if someone was interested in being involved in a longer arc, I'm sure we could accommodate them."

Sutherland definitely made the most of his two years away from the TV cameras. Asked what the time meant to him, he said, "I got some rest. I got to think about other things I wanted to do. I got to do two films I was very excited about, with very different characters." Those are Mira Nair's upcoming "The Reluctant Fundamentalist," with Liev Schreiber and Kate Hudson, and Lars von Trier's "Melancholia," with Kirsten Dunst.

"And doing 'That Championship Season' on Broadway. I did those things and also had some time off and got some rest -- and realized that I missed working."

"Extra's" AJ Calloway caught up with Kiefer Sutherland in NYC, where they chatted about what should happen to Jack Bauer in the "24" movie.

Kiefer said, "I want to see Jack do a lot of things that are representative of the show. I want him to be able to take his life back, and I think that's going to be a large aspect of the film."
As for his current gig on Broadway, starring in "That Championship Season," Sutherland admitted he gets nervous before going on stage. "There isn't a single night that my stomach doesn't start to go at the half hour before the show."
The actor is also starring as a hit man in a web series called "The Confession." Any plans for it to air on TV? Sutherland answered, "My desire right now is to keep it exactly where it is.

Kiefer Sutherland Busy with Broadway and 24 Movie

Kiefer Sutherland Busy With Broadway, '24' Movie

'24' Movie Set For 2012

Posted: 5:10 pm CDT May 5, 2011Updated: 2:15 am CDT May 6, 2011
Actor Kiefer Sutherland's got a full plate between his Broadway play, "That Championship Season," his new web series, "The Confession," and of course, the "24" movie.
"There's been talk about it forever," Sutherland told CNN of the feature film version of the smash Fox series. "But it is slated right now for the summer of 2012."
"I'm one of the producers (of Fox's "24" film) and I've been working with Ron Howard," he revealed. "We've had a couple of scripts that I think were wonderful but they weren't perfect, and I think we worked so hard on the series for that long that we want to make, if not a series of films, at least the one film really matter. We've just been working so hard to reach that."
But when he's not working on the "24" movie, Sutherland can be found on Broadway -- the actor is currently starring in a revival of the Tony and Pulitzer-winning "That Championship Season" alongside Jason Patric, Chris Noth, Brian Cox and Jim Gaffigan.
"There isn't a night that we've done it where I was just relaxed and blasé," Sutherland told CNN. "Every night your stomach starts to go and it matters. For me, it's been one of the great experiences of my career." The production will wrap on May 29.
Sutherland's also tackling a new web series, "The Confession," which he stars in on top of serving as one of the executive producers. The 10-episode series has a total running time of about an hour, and can be found on Hulu.com. Each installment is between five and 10 minutes in length.
The protagonist in "The Confession" is a man who visits a Catholic priest (played by John Hurt) in a confessional booth for the first time in 35 years. The confessor, played by Sutherland, tells the priest that he has done horrible things, yet feels no guilt. He's not seeking forgiveness; rather, he wishes to understand evil.
We soon learn that the confessor, a hit man, has to kill another man that night.
A good chunk of the narrative unfolds in flashbacks of his character's past. We learn that "the chance at a normal life was ripped away" from him. He remains vehement, however, that the people he killed deserved what they got and that "sometimes murder is justice."
Sutherland told CNN, "I was making this film with (director) Larry von Trier called 'Melancholia' (which also stars Kirsten Dunst, set for release later this year); and at the same time, I was working with Brad Mirman on 'The Confession.' John Hurt, who is also in 'Melancholia,' asked me what I was doing, and I explained to him the potential that I thought the Internet had not only for actors and storytellers but the ability to reach a volume in audience that has really never even come close to being matched."
Sutherland teamed up with screenwriter Mirman and "Confession" co-executive producer Chris Young, who was introduced to Sutherland by a mutual friend.
The three men were intrigued by the notion of the webisode format but didn't yet have a solid plot until, Mirman told CNN, "[Kiefer] called me and said, 'What do you think about a hit man in a confessional?' And immediately I could see the dramatic possibilities in that."
Not that the webisode format didn't present a challenge. "You're dealing with such short episodes so you have to find really strong ins and outs in all 10 episodes," Mirman said. "With an hour show you only have to worry about the cliffhanger at the end, but with this you have to worry about the cliffhanger at the end of every five or seven-minute segment."
Sutherland pointed out that another aspect of the shorter episode lengths "is that you really have to hone in on a writing skill. Brad Mirman has done such a phenomenal job doing that because you have to be so precise. Each little moment has to have a very strong intent and has to have a very strong conflict and has to have a resolve."
Everyone involved with the show is thrilled with the positive reception it is getting, including glowing reviews from critics as well as Hulu viewers.
"People were happy to consume content on the internet and other devices rather than traditional TV," said Young, adding, "Now that the digital living room is upon us, the reaction has been they want it to be longer. We planned it to be small, bite-sized pieces."
Mirman agreed, noting that's a good thing: "If they want it to be longer, it means they're responding to the show."
There was no scrimping in terms of production value, as Mirman told us that every actor that walked on that set "could have been walking onto the set of any network television show or any movie set for that matter. You wouldn't have seen a difference. Production values are every bit as high as anything Kiefer and I have ever worked on."
"Wouldn't it be funny if," he concluded, "after everything we've done, this is the thing we're most proud of? Certainly for me, I've never had a response to something like this. When episode eight came out, my Twitter page just lit up like a Christmas tree."

Kiefer Sutherland Confirms 24 Movie

Kiefer Sutherland Confirms '24' Movie
"Extra's" AJ Calloway talked with actor Kiefer Sutherland, who said the "24" movie is on target to start shooting in 8 months.
"It's a very difficult thing to take something you've done for eight years, almost two hundred episodes, and try to find a story that's going to be unique and yet service the history of the show as well," Sutherland said.



In the meantime, Kiefer is heading to the stage to star in a Broadway revival of the play "That Championship Season," with "The Good Wife" star Chris Noth.
"I grew up in Canada playing hockey, so basketball is a little foreign to me and I don't think I have the height anyway," joked Sutherland. The play is about four friends each going through a mid-life crisis, and was made into a 1982 movie starring Bruce Dern and Martin Sheen.
Sutherland explained, "Four men dealing with a sense they're no longer relevant."

Jack Bauer's Dismal Ending: 24 Season 8


Jack Bauer’s Dismal Ending -24 


The season finale of 24 wasn’t bad. It resolved most of the issues for the season and even delivered on a few big moments, including Jack almost being executed and a very touching final conversation between Jack and Chloe that surely made plenty of die hard 24 fans tear up. Did the finale leave a window open for the movie? Sure but as a series closer, Jack should’ve gone out in a blaze of glory, either buried in medals for his acts of bravery or just plain buried (because some great stories have to end that way). Instead, 24 ended with Jack all alone, injured, grieving and a wanted man who now has to go into hiding. Potential movie or not 24 deserved a better ending and so did we.

■ taken every day of the termination, it was full of heart
Q: How about Japan a long time?
What I just arrived yesterday, and I walked alone in the Roppongi district last night. I have to buy shaving cream was not brought to the United States. Trouble at all knowing that the Japanese, the Japanese people for helping me know. So with confidence, you're wonderful to walk out of the country at night.
Q: "24 TWENTY FOUR" has won it great popularity in Japan
It was this work produced over the years, my career and I think was very big in my life. The continued so far, but there was a success from abroad, was hit in Japan since the big opportunity. Without the popularity in this country, I think a big thing in Asia was. So the Japanese fans, I convey the feeling of gratitude from the heart.
Q: Now that the season is complete, please let us know that feeling
I'm proud of every season. Only human, of course, there is also a part called a little better this way, but I look back now if they also had.
Q: The last day of shooting, I remember how it was Rasshaimasu feel?
Six months of filming for the last day, and I was mentally prepared for a long time. And crew of this drama, I have been working together since the first season, with 16 marriages between them, 30 babies were born. From all that has been witnessed, there were more than they're family to me. So when all the shooting, when a word of thanks for telling the crew was just full of heart. Not only may miss the end of this drama, I'm also very painful farewell to everyone in the crew.
■ torture scenes are mentally exhausted
Q: a man named Jack Bauer, do not exist for you?
I love how Jack is a different culture, I'm being too sympathetic to the people of different language speaking countries. And both have been torn between work and family like him, who think the situation so that we can not want for himself, I think that any country as well. The place where the gray area in such a desperately hard for him, I think the sympathy of the audience called, myself, as a man, I felt as an actor very attractive.
Q: Throughout the season, you learn from this drama for?
The normal film and theater, I'll work for every character type change significantly. But the drama played by the same person through several seasons, and I very little change. But in this series, I brought many changes to the inner surface of things happened around him in the play Jack. It is the same life. While eight of the season, more than 100 such changes, his personality began to change. Such experiences will gradually add weight to the role, changing the approach, it was very interesting from an actor was the first time in my life.
Q: I watch this series, as Jack would be able to feel anything. He also played in the field after you feel like that for?
In the field many times I repeat the same actions over and over again. So when you have finished shooting another in the exhausted, but I just want to go home. It is a big difference with what Jack and me. But certainly, I feel like it was a moment many times. And run through the inside of the blast, and I was released to the brink of exploding bombs, I feel it becomes stronger than usual about his.
Q: I have become the talk of the violent torture scenes, the play was hard to do?
Oh I did not particularly tough scene. Bullying behavior and the other called for more than 12 hours, pull out, I get mentally exhausted. So all I had to learn to control his mental state.
In the movie ■, Jack trapped in a terrible state it!
Q: I was a fan I also miss Jack's romance, for love of his circumstances did you think?
His biggest tragedy, a woman he loved everybody ought to have great people, I'm all I think it eventually lost. So one of the girls alone, I think Jack wanted to be happy.
Q: Some Japanese businessmen are busy no time to make love! Some people say, I'm Jack is in love no matter how busy.
I do, "supposed to be yours in a little later they die, just find a person you want to kiss!" There was a philosophy called love. Japanese businessmen are surely busy on par with Jack I think it should not look for a chance to love you when you are riding all Ta even Electro. You're not sure where the girl trapped forever!
Q: In the final season, I have come into contact with grandchildren, Jack scene. Yourself as well, but I have grandchildren, How did they play?
From about 5 seasons, the mood had become quite dark drama, Son Rui Akira It was really there. Jack (the daughter) did not give it to Kim, I think that Shiteyaritai grandchildren. The role of the child was a girl from a cute little grandson, and her scenes they enjoyed playing it. Since my daughter has already graduated from college, to play with crayons and drawing with the children, it was a long time.
Q: Interest in the final season?
Before making this season, and the writers decided, was to highlight the best I'll make every episode. So I think that making high-tension eyes off the screen can be about any moment. Especially the last episode, the crisis has come all the characters, I think that means they want to finish and enjoy!
Q: I looking forward to all the fans, please tell us about the film
While the series continues, even once thought about the film I did not. But now the season is over, we'll be moving towards full-fledged film. The big difference between film and television, the real progress for me, but I can not expand. Until now, the story had a time limit, I move that the United States to Japan in the play but it was impossible for example, in the film from becoming possible, and I think the more interesting around here.However, only one change in the expectations of everyone in the movie Jack that I'm trapped in a terrible state.
A long time in eight seasons, have played the words of Jack Bauer Kiefer, the staff, was full of love and work. Raised so far in this drama, the passion of his crew would love to and because there was. The series is now over, located in the passion he has not gone yet. Minutes traveling time limit has been removed, the potential in the film version of his head further spread said, seemed to her that he has already drawn on the screen by Jack. While looking forward to seeing Jack on the screen again, I want to experience the first shock of the final season!
