I was Googling around to try and remember the name of the new movie coming out where Kiefer Sutherland plays a Secret Service member, and stumbled across this [little gem](http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1528309/04102006/story.jhtml), and it appears there is the idea of doing this as a prequel, like the video game, so they can include all sorts of people who’ve already died in the show. This could be great…

At first, I thought you were talking about [this](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443632/)

While I’m not entirely sure we need to see more of Dennis Hopper in the _24_-verse, but it seems that Jack & Palmer’s Kosovo mission is ripe for a movie.

It seems they’ve already picked out a title for it. It’s called _2_.

That’s what I was looking for, because I couldn’t remember the name, but this is even better.

Thank goodness; I know Jack Bauer can go 24 hours without a bathroom break, but I know I couldn’t sit through a 24 hour movie without a catheter.
