24 almost adapted this hit Tom Hanks movie first.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A huge Tom Hanks movie franchise almost became a season of 24 instead. When the creators of 24 first conceived of the show, they were picturing a real-time comedy surrounding the disastrous lead-up to a wedding. It later morphed into a thriller following Kiefer Sutherland's harried CTU agent Jack Bauer, who throughout nine seasons of 24 faced various days from hell while preventing terrorist attacks.
Director Ron Howard Release Date May 19, 2006 Studio Sony Cast Tom Hanks , Paul Bettany , Jean Reno Franchise The Da Vinci Code Budget $125 million Over the years, the showrunners behind 24 flirted with various concepts that never came to fruition. This includes Die Hard 24/7, a mooted crossover movie that would have teamed Bruce Willis' John McClane with Sutherland's Bauer. Still, the strangest idea was a short-lived plan to adapt Dan Brown's bestseller as 24's third season.
The Da Vinci Code's Author Rejected The 24 Offer Dan Brown understandably held out for a more lucrative movie deal If nothing else, Surnow's notion of basing a season of 24 around The Da Vinci Code at least showed a willingness to take the series in a different direction. The novel was published in 2003, and after Surnow read it, he quickly contacted 24 executive producer Brian Grazer about nabbing the rights for the third series.
