20th Century Fox has confirmed plans to make a 24 feature film set in Europe.
The studio has contracted Billy Ray (State Of Play) to write the movie, which will see Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer face enemies outside of the US.
The Bauer character has previously left Los Angeles to take on missions in Africa (in TV movie 24: Redemption) and New York (the currently airing season 8).
The 24 TV team will be involved in the big screen spinoff, with Sutherland, series creators Robert Cochran and Joel Surnow, and current showrunner Howard Gordon executive producing. The movie is expected to proceed when the TV show comes to an end.
Sutherland has previously voiced his desire to make a 24 film in Europe, telling DS last year: "It's something that we've always talked about because I think the fantastic thing about Europe, for something like 24, is that it's very feasible to get from Prague to London in the course of a day."
