Kiefer Sutherland Confirms '24' Movie

January 20, 2011 Celebrity Highlights

"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."
