24 - possible direct to dvd spin-offs
 
from davisdvd:
"Joel Surnow, creator of the compulsively watchable 24, and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment are in early talks of creating a series of direct-to-video projects that will carry the "24" brand name and real-time concept. Speaking at this week's TV-on-DVD conference, Surnow said said he and Fox are cooking up a potential series of feature-length or miniseries-type programs that will follow the drama series' real-time concept and hit DVD without ever airing on broadcast television. "It's still in the very initial stages," Surnow said. "But we are looking at ideas like a two-hour hostage situation or a rescue drama or an emergency-room story." The programs would not necessarily feature the same cast and crew, Surnow added, but will run on their own production schedule at the same time "24" is filming. (thanks to Video Store Magazine)"

Joel Surnow, the creator of 24, and Fox Home Entertainment are in talks to create a direct-to-DVD spin-off of the real-time series, which has become one of the studio's top DVD sellers.

Surnow said they are tossing around ideas about a spin-off that would be done with an all-new cast and take place in real time, as does the TV series. "The series might touch on such things as a hostage crisis, heist or other dramatic situation that could be told in a real-time setting."

Surnow said he and Fox are considering doing an 8-hour series with different episodes similar to how a TV show runs. The direct-to-DVD series would be in production during the run of the TV show and build off the 24.

What the hell would be the point of doing that? The series makes a lot more if it airs, they can just run 2 or 3 series simultaneoulsy like CSI or Law and Order

The point is that they will be making this and the series together. Plus a 2 hour real time hostage situation sounds good to me. It'll be more about the situation, and less about a whole bunch of plot twists.
