I dub thee ’2′
A two-hour “prequel” telemovie for 24 has been set for fall, The Hollywood Reporter has reported.
Woo-hoo! We don’t have to wait ’til fall.
It’s supposed to “bridge the gap” between the Season 6 crapapalooza and the potentially awesome Season 7 with Tony Almeida’s triumphant return (OK, maybe not so triumphant, given that he’s a bad, bad man, it seems).
The Reporter said that yesterday, the show’s producers “began securing the show’s core cast members for the film.â€
More to ponder later. Have ideas for the movie? Leave ‘em in the comments.

I would like the to show the day that CTU gets it’s walking papers and the feds shut the operation down.
you know, I was just thinking about the same thing. it would be the perfect transition…
I think this is a smart idea on Fox’s part, and will be thrilled with anything 24 I can get!
Can’t they just air the first 2 hours of the 8 or so they already have finished?
Week END Wrap…

I agree, Sally Jo. Making us wait a full two years would have been a bit too hard to deal with… I definitely don’t want them, however, to just air the first two eps of Season 7. Then we’d have to wait until January for the other 22 hours? I’d rather have a nice bridge between the two seasons, then get my 24 in a row come January 2009.
