20th Century Fox’s film and TV studios are moving forward to finally bring hit TV series “24”, which stars Kiefer Sutherland, to the big screen.

Billy Ray (“State of Play”, “Flightplan”) will write the script for the film, which would take the secret agent Jack Bauer to Europe.

Ray’s pitch, which takes Jack Bauer to Europe, just as Fox executives and Sutherland, who is also executive producer for the show, have been wanting to transition the show into a big-screen franchise. The series has been a hit for Fox ever since it premiered in November of 2001.

No other information about the project is available yet, though Variety is reporting that the success of the current season of “24” might determine the state of the movie project.
