TV: Breaking Bad

[Deadpool8812]

Movie in the works

It sounds like the movie will revolve around the aftermath of Jesse's escape.

Feeling confused. But anyway, here are some basic Infos:

A Breaking Bad movie appears to finally be in the works, five years after the series finished in 2013. Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan is developing a two-hour project that “will be set in the existing Breaking Bad franchise”, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The Albuquerque Journal, in New Mexico, has reported that filming will begin in Albuquerque – where the original series was set and shot – this month. It also claims to have obtained a synopsis and the project’s working title: it currently appears to be called Greenbrier and it will “follow the escape of a kidnapped man and his quest for freedom”.
Other details are thin on the ground, including whether or not Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul or other actors from the television show will take part. The project is the first fruit of Gilligan’s recently signed deal with Sony’s division. It is not yet known whether the film will premiere in cinemas or on television.

Mixed feelings overall, but I'll still watch it.

Sounds like the "escaped kidnapped man" would obviously be Pinkman, and if Aaron Paul isn't involved then that's strike 1 already. I'm sure it can still be good, but that'll always be an issue.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

You kinda can't have Cranston in it, Walter's kinda dead man. Unless they're going prequel route, which is what BCS is doing right now.

Nah it's going to be about Huel escaping the safe house after 5 years

 

[Brodeur]

Nah iit' going to be about Huel escaping the safe house after 5 years

If that was the post credit scene, I'd be happy.

The movie has been confirmed to be about Jesse in the events after Breaking Bad. It is a sequel to the show

That's hilarious. I'm taking an environmental law class and the discussion we were having was about the difficulty an actor might have jumping from TV to movies, and I mentioned that someone like Bryan Cranston didn't have much issue because he's such a chameleon as an actor that can handle a variety of performance needs that his transition was pretty seamless, while someone like Aaron Paul hasn't really been able to get a movie career going probably in part because people can't see him as anyone but Jesse Pinkman.

That was yesterday. Today I find out Aaron Paul IS gonna star in a new movie...playing Jesse Pinkman.

 

[glovesave_35]

Those acting roles must not be coming in hot and heavy for Aaron Paul.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Not sure how Cranston can be in it as a sequel...and also not sure how it's set in Alberquerque, he obviously couldn't stay, unless it picks up literally right after he crashes through the gate.

If that was the post credit scene, I'd be happy.

The movie is just a caption "One month later" and it's Kuby opening the door with skinny Lavell Crawford walking out. And I always like seeing Bill Burr getting acting gigs

I'll always give Bojack Horseman a plug.

 

[Brodeur]

I'd probably watch the movie if it was just Badger and Skinny Pete doing Star Trek fan fiction.

Hey, its Hollywood. A character isn't dead, until Internet decided so. And if i remember correctly, Walter was not officially dead. He was "only" dying in the last episode. So a rebirth isn't so impossible.

Maybe Jesse Pinkman should start taking acting roles as character Aaron Paul who plays other characters!

 

[BlackStar]

There's no way Cranston isn't it in the movie. He will be in the movie--in flashbacks.

 

[Roo Returns]

I don't know how I feel about this. Take one of the greatest TV shows ever and write a sequel for a story that was wrapped up? Playing with fire potentially.

It's an interesting idea and maybe one of those will Jesse go somewhere else and cook because that is his predominant skill, or is someone after him?

I like Aaron Paul as many of us do, but I don't know if he's a movie star. Need For Speed and Triple 9 both didn't do that great in North America.

Having Cranston in flashbacks is just cheesy and if they do it more than once, unnecessary.

 

[NyQuil]

Not a good idea.

It ended well, leave well enough alone.

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

Yeah I have mixed feelings about this.

They ended the show perfectly. You expect that Jessie escapes, is given a second chance with his life, and hopefully redeems himself in getting out of a life of crime. But if it is a sequel, and it is focused on Jessie, then you'd think he'll go back to his old ways and start manufacturing drugs again. To me, that kind of cheapens the ending of Breaking Bad as it is no longer left open to interpretation and subsequently loses that hope for Jessie's future.

On the other hand, most people said Better Call Saul would flop and that spin offs are always garbage, and it proved people wrong. So I'm at least open to the idea and optimistic about it.

Not necessarily

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Jesse was one of the worst things about the show.

Hope he gets captured and tortured and killed...or at least life in prison.

Never got the sympathy people had for him

Maybe you missed an episode?

 

[CokenoPepsi]

And? If I recall that was the second last episode...he spent the series screwing over people and commiting murder.

Todd should have killed him

Yo yo, don't worry. I never really got it either.

 

[Ainec]

anyone having mixed feelings should be put at ease if Vince is the director and writer

BCS is amazing

In some ways Better Call Saul is better than Breaking Bad.
