The Hollywood Reporter has a story about a new two-hour “prequel” for 24 slated for the Fall.
The movie, designed to bridge the two-year gap between Seasons 6 and 7, is targeted to air in the fall, leading to the January return of the real-time drama. On Wednesday, “24” producers began securing the show’s core cast members for the film.

This news makes one happy fan!
It did make me think, though, about the series’ success. Would it have taken off the way it did if there had been no 9/11, and if it had run as planned, beginning in the fall (with the attendant reruns/stoppages for the holidays) and finishing in the spring?
Okay…is this a theater movie or a TV movie?
I believe it’s a TV movie.
