Howdy from the upfronts!
Two highly-anticipated feature film versions of two very popular TV series were officially announced today at TV’s junket of junkets.
The “Party Down” movie, based on the Starz sitcom starring Adam Scott, Megan Mullaly and Lizzy Caplan, and the long-gestating “24” movie, with Kiefer Sutherland reprising Jack Bauer, are officially a go.
“Hopefully we will be shooting by the end of April, beginning of May,” Sutherland said of the “24” movie, a film we knew was coming… we just didn’t know when.
Sutherland says the film won’t be in real-time like the TV series was but will instead be a two-hour movie set over the period of 24 hours.
Story wise, “I see it as a continuation”, said the actor, stumping his new series “Touch”. “The script that we’ve got right now, which I’m very, very excited about, is relatively a direct continuation. It’s within six months from the end of the last episode. We’ll see where it goes from there.”
As for the ‘did we really expect it to ever happen?’ sequel to TV’s “Party Down”, castmember Megan Mullaly said it’s happening, with the original cast members, and in it “we’re going to see” her on-screen ex-husband, who “was really racist and a misogynist,”.
The script is currently being written by John Enbom.
Excited folks?
