keifer sutherlandThere have been rumors and reports that 20th Century Fox has rejected a script from Billy Ray for the proposed 24 movie that would continue a story from another film. It is as being in suspended animation. However, there is talk about reproaching it. Another source say he doesn’t think jack’s days are over and that 24 is a good film.

And it seems there are some debates about the entire situation. Putting a television series onto the big screen has its downfalls and surely doesn’t make for a great film, or does it? 24 is one of television’s top watched shows and to put in on the big screen might just do something that the directors and producers weren’t expecting. This is a show that stars none other than Kiefer Sutherland. This action packed adventure and thriller always makes for great use of digital technology and special effects. And that isn’t even hitting the big screen yet! This is all during the television series episodes. It is true that 20th Century Fox and television studios are teaming up to bring the hit television series 24 to the big screen. This is actually really exciting. And although the script has to be written and everything has to be put into place there are many people who love what Jack does in the television series 24. Some look at him as being the good guy while others look at him in a different aspect.

In addition, if this television series 24, does make it to the big screen there are going to be a lot of individuals going to see the film simply because they love the television series so much. This isn’t the first time a television series has become a film so it can be done. It isn’t impossible. It simply takes a little time to work out all of the details.

Executive Producer Legend Don HahnThere have been several reports and confirmations that for Disney fans, Don Hahn’s name is instantly one of animation legend. He is responsible for several films and the special effect and animation they provide. He is responsible for the basic rebirth near the end of the 20th century which he began working with Disney in 1976, quickly rising to the top an d becoming one of the animation’s foremost film producers delivering many classis.

Now, he is creating a documentary known as Waking Sleeping beauty and it is going to be phenomenal just as the Lion King and Beauty and the beast. This is a documentary that was released in March of 2010, and of course it was a success just as the others were. It was released of course by Walt Disney Pictures with the director being none other than Don Hahn himself. This documentary is rated PG for some brief mild language.

However, Waking Sleeping Beauty isn’t a fairytale. It is the story of clashing egos, out of country budgets, tensions, and one of the most extraordinary creative periods in animation history. The director and the producer are key players in this documentary and in some ways they offer a behind the scenes look at various movies full of animation. Artists polarized between the hungry young innovators and the old guard who refused to relinquish control. Definitively mounting aot of tension due to a few box offices flops.and warring studio heads create the backdrop for this story told with a unique and candid perspective from rheostat were there. This is a documentary full of intrigue and information about the animalization world and it is essentially very good reading.
