Grazer and Ron Howard's Imagine Entertainment produced the 24 TV series, which aired from 2001-10 on Fox.

"Got off the phone Keifer yesterday and we are very excited about producing the ‘24' movie for next year," Grazer Tweeted.

In March, Sutherland appeared on ABC's The View, where he described the film as "the little engine that could."
