24<br />
It’s been almost two years since TV’s<br />
24 turned off the clock, but star<br />
Kiefer Sutherland was adamant there’d<br />
be a big-screen version of the show about<br />
his hot-tempered, counter-terrorist agent<br />
Jack Bauer, and he was right. After finally<br />
settling on a script, 24 starts shooting in<br />
April or May. Five directors are in the hunt<br />
to helm the action-packed story covering<br />
a 24-hour period in Bauer’s frenetic life.<br />

KurylenKo<br />
Meets Cruise<br />
Jessica Chastain can’t star in every<br />
movie. When the busy Chastain<br />
dropped out of Tom Cruise’s<br />
untitled sci-fi flick (it was being<br />
called Oblivion), Ukrainianborn<br />
Olga Kurylenko (Quantum<br />
of Solace) stepped in. The plot<br />
revolves around a soldier (Cruise)<br />
banished to a decimated Earth who<br />
finds a crashed pod containing a<br />
beautiful woman. Tron director<br />
Joseph Kosinski will helm the pic<br />
that starts shooting shortly and<br />
arrives in theatres next summer.<br />

SCAreS<br />
Up WOrK<br />
Russell Brand is in New Orleans trying to<br />
get his suddenly lackluster career back on<br />
track. He’s shooting writer Diablo Cody’s<br />
(Juno) untitled directorial debut about a<br />
woman (Julianne Hough) who reassesses<br />
her life after surviving a plane crash. He<br />
and The Help’s Octavia Spencer play<br />
people who guide Hough in her journey.<br />
Brand follows that with a starring role in<br />
producer Michael Bay’s Hauntrepreneur,<br />
in which he’ll play a man who arranges<br />
visits to haunted houses.
