Wikipedia For Idiots, Or:
Duuuuuuuuh Uhhhhh, Really?!
Please note the following regarding a theatrical movie of the TV series "24" from an entry at Wikipedia:
If you believe that a "24" theatrical film would last an actual 24 hours long, please do everyone a favor and jump in front of a speeding semi-truck. Thank you.
24: The Movie
Main article: 24: The Movie
Kiefer Sutherland has confirmed that 24: The Movie is in the pipeline, and the show's creators have already started working on the script. It should be noted that the film would be a two-hour representation of a 24-hour day, not an actual 24-hour-long film as this would be financially straining on production and impossible to show in theaters.

I'm guessing they set it like that, since the series "gimick" is to be approximately 24 hours long, and be filmed in real time. I wouldn't imagine one film in that case, but rather several films that are released over, say, a year time frame.
I don't disagree with you, but that's not what the writer wrote at Wikipedia:
"It should be noted that the film would be a two-hour representation of a 24-hour day, not an actual 24-hour-long film as this would be financially straining on production and impossible to show in theaters."
One would have to be...um, rather dense, to think a movie of "24" could last 24 hours, let alone the production costs of making a film that length.
I realize some sites have to write for the lowest common denominator, but the above is really, really pushing the limit, don't you think?
