24 set to transfer to the big screen by Ben Child
(from guardian.co.uk)
Naturally this story has been all over the web, but I've picked The Guardian's version for this paragraph:

Ironically, the only thing that looks to be standing in the way of 24: The Movie is the further success of 24 the TV show. Producers would be unlikely to green light a big-screen outing while new episodes are still being shot, due to the logistical issues of shooting a film concurrently. In effect, for the movie to live, 24 would first have to die in its current form.

As for the news itself... Well, a movie has been in the offing for years, even to the point where the writing team had a story and/or screenplay for it. So though they've gone as far as hiring an established film writer, I'd still say this is a We'll See proposition for the time being.
