LOCATION: A dark, dank torture cell somewhere in the bowels of Los Angeles

THE SKINNY: Yesterday, we discovered that Fox will be making 24 fans very happy by offering up a special two-hour TV movie to air in the fall that will serve as a nice appetizer for the delayed Season 7, that was postponed until 2009 because of the writer’s strike.

While only eight episodes were filmed for the new season, Fox made the decision to hold them until the entire season could be shown in its 24-episode entirety.

Now iF Magazine has word from 24 executive producer Howard Gordon about how this new TV movie will fit into the show’s mythology.

“This will be a standalone movie that takes place almost a year after the sixth season ended, and will set up the story that launches the seventh season,” Gordon tells iF. “It will be entirely new material.”

Fall 2008 never seemed so far away. More news as it develops.

Absolutely love "24". Looking forward to the movie this fall and the new season in 2009. I was hooked right from the first episode and wish this show would last forever. Hated seeing most of the cast killed off but you must have something more exciting coming.Keep up the good work.

Have just finished the complete boxed set of 24; how can I wait until Autumn for the movie? It's just brilliant; delighted to hear that Chloe will be staying on - she's such a moody excellent actress.

Mr. X from Somewhere in America sez....
I'm looking forward to the "24" movie this fall. Last year's season was such a disappointment. All the good characters (except Chloe & Jack) have been killed off. And I'm seriously on the fence about Tony being a villain. This movie & this season better be good or I'm a fan no more!!!
