24

so we've all heard that "24- The Movie" is coming out in the next year or two and anyone who watches the show knows that they are just trying to squeeze more money out of the 24 fan base with some crappy 2 hour movie that is guaranteed to be a dissapointment; i mean, once the fans are used to 18 hours (without commercials) of edge-of-your-seat action and suspense, to condense that into 2 hours guarantees sure failure. so, i suggest that all of you 24 fans sign the following petition below, demanding 21st Century Fox to make the new 24 movie, 24 hours long!

the reasons are seven-fold:

-Whereas-
The show is called 24, and should the movie not be 24 hours long, it would be erroneously named. For accuracy's sake, it would need a different name, which would potentially result in viewer confusion.

-Whereas-
No film of this length has ever been attempted, and the word-of-mouth publicity of such a feat would spread quickly, resulting in box-office success.

-Whereas-
24's fanbase is strong enough to prove such an endeavour financially successful; there are numerous fansites devoted to the show.

-Whereas-
24's real-time narrative is a signature of the franchise. To abandon it would alienate many fans.

-Whereas-
12+ hour showings of the Lord of the Rings trilogy in theatres has proved to be successful and feesable. With this as the precedent, a 24-hour long movie is not unreasonable for theatre owners to accomodate.

-Whereas-
Critics of Hollywood claim that there are "no new ideas". This is both a step in translating a successful TV show without losing the narrative, and proof that there are indeed fresh ideas left.

So, sign the petition here!
