Summary

The24 Movieis moving ahead at 20th Century Studios andDisney, but its unclear what direction the big screen adaptation will go in with no official casting announcements or plot details currently known. It’s hard to imagine24without Kiefer Sutherland’s Jack Bauer saving the day, but there’s another classic element that needs to return if the24 Movieis to be a success.24was originally set in Los Angeles, but the later seasons moved to various different locations, including Washington DC, New York and London, but it’s time for the action franchise to return to L.A. for the big screen adaptation.

The first six seasons of24saw the Counter-Terrorist Unit’s (CTU) headquarters based in Los Angeles, before it was disbanded in the story due to so-called illegal interrogation methods. The action series left the City of Angels for the final three seasons of the show, and it has not featured in the franchise since 2007.24was at its best when Jack Bauer had to race against time in one of the most congested cities in the US, and areturn to L.A. for the24 Moviewould delight many fans.

The24 Moviereboothas one luxury that the television series didn’t have, and that is the freedom to be set in a number of different locations over the 24-hour period. Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) was never able to move between different cities due to the constraints ofthe real-time aspect of24.The24 Moviewill be able to move freely by introducing time jumps to allow Jack Bauer to potentially travel around the world.It would be intriguing to see the24Movieset in different countries, but it would also be nice to revisit Los Angeles, as this is where the origins of the franchise lie.

Events Occur In Real Time

Los Angeles was like a character in the first six seasons of24, as Jack Bauer raced across the city trying to thwart several terrorist attacks.The series was shot in many iconic locations in and around the Los Angeles area, and it would be great to see the city on the big screen where it belongs in the upcoming24 Movie. The story could start in a different country and return to Los Angeles for the final act, which would be quite impactful. It’s likely that Jack Bauer will be imprisoned in Russia when the24 Moviebegins, and he could be called upon to return to Los Angeles to thwart an imminent terrorist attack. After a decade in captivity, it would be quite fitting for Jack Bauer to return to his old stomping ground of L.A. CTU could be re-opened in Los Angeles, and the24 Moviecould look and feel like it did back in 2001, with some exciting action sequences shot on location in California’s biggest city.

24 Was At Its Best When It Was Set In Los Angeles And The Movie Can Recapture The Magic If Its Set There

24was at the height of its popularity when it was set in Los Angeles, and it never felt the same once it left the area in the later seasons.Ironically,24was still filmed in L.A. even when it was set in Washington D.C and New York in seasons 7 and 8 respectively. This is a common occurrence in the movie business, with the use of sound stages to film a large percentage of interior scenes of a show. Exteriors can also double for a completely different location and this was the case in24’s later seasons, with filming largely still taking place in Los Angeles. However, those seasons didn’t feel like L.A., as they were supposed to be completely different cities.The only way to recapture the magic of Los Angeles is to film and set the24 Moviethere.

The Setting For Each Entry In The 24 Series

Many productions are moving away from the Los Angeles area due to the high costs associated with shooting there. There is a high probability that the24 Moviecould film somewhere that offers tax breaks, with locations across Europe providing a cheaper option. However,if they do this, they must not try and set the24 Moviein Los Angeles, as there is no city on earth that could replicate it.24: Live Another Daywas filmed and set in London, and it had a very different vibe to it which worked to a certain extent. However, the24 Moviewould be better off returning to Los Angeles regardless of the costs it would incur.
