24 Hours (newspaper)

24 Hours and 24 Heures (sometimes abbreviated as 24H) is a chain of free daily newspapers published in Canada. A French edition is published in Montreal by Quebecor Media, while two English editions are published in Toronto and Vancouver by Postmedia (acquired from Quebecor in 2015). Editions previously published in Ottawa, Calgary, and Edmonton ceased publication in 2013.

History

In 2000, Metro International launched its free daily Metro newspaper in Toronto, eventually expanding with local editions across Canada. In Toronto, the Toronto Sun and Toronto Star scrambled to launch their own free dailies, Sun Media's FYI Toronto and Torstar's GTA Today. In mid-2001, GTA Today had merged with Metro and in October of the same year Sun Media ceased publication of FYI Toronto. However, as the Toronto Sun itself had been largely dependent on sales to commuters the success of Metro ate into its market share and in 2003, Sun Media re-entered the giveaway market with the launch of 24 Hours in Toronto.

24 Hours (novel)

24 Hours is a bestselling novel written by American author Greg Iles. It was published in 2000 by Putnam (New York). The 2002 film Trapped is based on this book.

Plot summary

Joe Hickey is a serial criminal working to extort money from wealthy doctors by kidnapping their children under a 24-hour ransom deadline designed to minimize police involvement. In what he decides will be his final kidnapping, he abducts Abby Jennings, child of Dr. Will Jennings, whom Joe Hickey blames for his mother's death. Abby has diabetes and her parents begin to panic that she will die if they cannot rescue her in time.

Screenplay

In 2002, Iles wrote the screenplay 24 Hours from his novel of the same name. This script was subsequently rewritten by director Don Roos and renamed Trapped to avoid confusion with the then-current television series, 24. At the request of the producers and actors, Iles then rewrote the script during the shoot.
