loooooooong movie

Re: 24 The Movie
 

Anything other than a 24 hour long movie would be retarded. But only slighty more retarded than actually having a 24 hour long movie.

i heard an interview of the creators of 24 where they said the movie would be around 2 hours long, but the story would take place over 24 hours. each segment would be in real time. they said this format will allow them to tell a more global story.

so it's basically a regular movie that takes place over 24 hours.

Re: 24 The Movie
 

All,

Did any of you watch the movie Timecode? It explored some interesting concepts, but the plot/characters/etc were only so-so. Not bad, but worth watching. I watched it in the theater when it came out, was definitely an interesting experience. I'd recommend watching it, if only for the experience.

Review

"The film was shot simultaneously in one continuous take on four separate Sony DSR-1 digital cameras, each following a host of characters entwined within a tightly choreographed story. The result is one story recorded from four different points of view. The final film is a four-way split screen with each camera dividing the viewer's attention. "

Worst idea ever

not really. in most normal movies, most scenes are in real time, but the average scene might last a minute or two. i'm guessing there will be fewer, longer scenes in the 24 that take place in real time over multiple locations.

Re: 24 The Movie
 

Like a year ago when there was talk of a 24 movie I heard one of the producers say that they were thinking of making it so it was going to be a two hour movie only the second hour of which was going to be real time. Like half way through the movie Jack discovers a bomb or something that is set to go off in an hour and that's when the real-time gimmick kicks in.

As for real-time movies, I think the obvious analogy to 24 is the Johnny Depp/Christopher Walker action flick 'Nick of Time' which isn't a bad little thriller mainly because of the two great leads, and has a lot of similarities to 24 (mainly that it's real time and the hero's daughter is kidnapped in an effort to get him to kill an elected official). I also saw Timecode, and agree that it was a fun experiment but a bad movie overall.

Re: 24 The Movie
 

maybe they'll have the screen divided into 12ths for 2 hrs [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]...

Just watched the interview, decent. He seems like a genuinely nice guy.

Having a 24 movie defeats the purpose of 24.

Re: 24 The Movie
 

I saw Timecode. It was watchable, but not great; an interesting experiment.

I just saw United 93, which was mostly in real-time. It is a brilliant piece of filmmaking and I strongly recommend it.

I couldn't help comparing the film to the TV series 24, not just because of the real-time aspect but obviously the terrorism theme. One of the differences in the comparison is that United 93 shows how difficult information can be to assimilate when you haven't prepared your brain for it. In 24, when Jack Bauer learns some new piece of information, he instantly sees its significance; he either knows exactly what it means or has five viable theories.

But in United 93 (stop here to avoid spoiler), there's one scene at the New York air traffic office, where AA flight 11 has just disappeared off the radar screen and they're looking around trying to locate it, and then the guy looks out the window and says "why is there smoke coming from the World Trade Centre?", and it takes them ten minutes to figure out that maybe it's because the very plane they're searching for has crashed into the building. It's not that they're stupid, just that realistically that's the amount of time it takes human beings to figure something out when they haven't thought about that situation before. But on 24 it's exactly the sort of thing that Jack Bauer (or indeed, any of the characters) would see and know immediately what had happened.

Re: 24 The Movie
 

Oh yeah, Miracle Mile is another excellent film that substantially takes place in real time.

Re: 24 The Movie
 

MBE,

That's why Jack Bauer is such a badass.

Word.

just a comment on this "real time" thing, used in movies like "time code" and "nick of time" and of course in the show "24": it's not exactly a new concept. in aristotle's "poetics," one of the rules for drama is unity of time: basically, the action of a play should represent the passage of the same amount of time as the play itself.

shakespeare was criticized by his contemporaries for not observing the classical unities (besides time, there's also unity of action and unity of place), so with the last play he ever wrote he did so, kinda like saying, "you don't think i can pull off the unities? watch this," and the result was perhaps his greatest work, and my personal favorite, "the tempest."

anyway, just a note to point out that the real-time concept goes back some 2300 years.

Re: 24 The Movie
 

I would totally pay $49.95 to go to a 24-hour 24 movie. Tell me that wouldn't be awesome.

Re: 24 The Movie
 

That wouldn't be awesome.

Re: 24 The Movie
 

Ummm...isn't this basically what "The Sentinel" is, just with a different title.

Re: 24 The Movie
 

I just hope they don't have that [censored] awful "BEEP...BEEP...BEEP..." every time they change scenes

Re: 24 The Movie
 

if there is a lot of traveling and stuff, then they could show 24 hours in 3 hours by just not showing the traveling on plane parts...in other words, make it more realistic by not allowing people to go 100 miles in a car in 15 mins like on tv

Re: 24 The Movie
 

finally, we get to hear Jack Bauer swear.
