The popular TV show 24 will soon be a feature film. The funny thing is, the show hasn’t ended yet.

Twentieth Century Fox‘s film division is scooping up its hit TV series, “24,” starring Kiefer Sutherland as the no-nonsense enemy to terrorists everywhere, and gunning to spin it off into a potential feature film franchise, Variety reported.

Screenwriter Bill Ray (“State of Play”) is maneuvering to send Bauer to Europe, and has been endorsed by Sutherland, according to intelligence reports.

It could take a long time, however, for “24″ to go into production, since the producers and cast are currently filming the eighth season of the show, and a ninth season is still a possibility. Fox insiders told Variety that a decision on renewing “24″ for another season could be based on ratings out this week.

It’s really one of those franchises that will keep making money as long as it can, so if they can go another couple of seasons I’m sure they will. It’s just a matter of time before they finally get to shooting the movie.
