Kiefer Sutherland has finally forgiven actress Julia Roberts for running off days before their wedding in 1991 with his best friend Jason Patric. The Hollywood hardman was devastated when the actress left him for Patric, but now sees that it was all the best.

He says, “I commend Julia for seeing how young and silly we were, even as painful and difficult as it was.”

However, Sutherland isn’t ready to forgive his old friend and Lost Boys co-star Patric yet, adding: “We were friends. I never got a call.”

…long enough to make a movie, that is.

Kiefer Sutherland is taking a break from television to star in a big-screen horror movie. The 24 actor will leave the role of Jack Bauer behind while shooting the supernatural thriller Mirrors in Romania, reports Variety, before starting to work on the feature-length 24 next year.

Sutherland’s most recent silverscreen project was last year’s The Sentinal, which also saw tv star Eva Longoria make the transition to movies.

He will portray an ex-cop who discovers a force behind a mysterious mirror that apparently brings out the worst in the people who look at their reflection in it.

The Hills Have Eyes director Alejandre Aja is behind the movie, for which Sutherland reportedly signed up after script problems with the film adaptation of the hit series 24.

Aja is a member of the so-called Splat Pack. Film historian Alan Jones coined the phrase which is a collective term for young directors who make brutally violent films in the horror genre. (Which means there’s no way in hell I’d watch this movie)

I find him hot.  Call me crazy.
