Will There Be a “Breaking Bad” Movie? Bryan Cranston Says It May Just Happen!
WARNING: For anyone who has NOT seen “Breaking Bad”, or is not up to date through the fourth season, I urge you to walk away, go catch up and then come back.
For those of you that stayed, here is your news:
For any great television show that has graced the airwaves, fans have always wondered if there would be a movie follow up. In the case of AMC’s hit “Breaking Bad”, it was made clear a while ago by creator Vince Gilligan that he did not think that he even had enough story to fill his final 16 episodes, and therefore not enough for a full length movie.
Now, series star Bryan Cranston is saying that Gilligan has the exact opposite problem:
“Vince feels that now we have too much story. We could actually go beyond those 16 episodes.”
So does that mean that we might just have a Walter White story in theaters?? Cranston gives his opinion:
“It’s not far-fetched. I wouldn’t mind visiting that possibility. And this is coming from a guy who doesn’t know anything of how the show’s going to end. If it doesn’t end up in a total apocalypse, who knows? Maybe we could revisit Walter White a year down the road and see where his life has gone. If he’s still alive, that is.”
I’m intrigued…
As for the final season, Gilligan has said that he loves how far Walter’s character has come over the past four years, and fans could expect to see him coming a long way over this final trip…which may be his last:
“We can look forward to Walt’s ego growing by leaps and bounds for having killed Gus Fring. To this point, Walt’s been able to lie to himself and reason that he’s done all these terrible things for his family. But that’s a lie that’s harder and harder to maintain as this upcoming season progresses and the money piles up and he’s faced more and more with the badness that he’s done. He’s going to be a harder guy to root for, I promise you that. The experiment of the show has been to take a good guy and have him transform himself into a bad guy. And we’re committed to seeing that through to the very end.”
I just got chills…I think you did too…
