Breaking Bad Feature Film On The Way

It has been reported that Breaking Bad series creator Vince Gilligan is working on a new spin-off feature film with the script finished and production ready to start later this month.

Although it is not yet known whether stars Bryan Cranston or Aaron Paul will reprise their roles, the two-hour film will be set within the same universe as the original hit television series Breaking Bad and its Netflix spin-off Better Call Saul. 

Whether the film is set for a cinema or television release has not yet been confirmed, but the project under the possible code name Greenbriar is set to begin production in Albuquerque, New Mexico in mid-November of this year with Gilligan at the front of operations having written the script, producing and possibly even directing the film. Executive producers of Breaking Bad, Mark Johnson and Melissa Bernstein, are also involved in the project.

The Journal has reported that the logline of the film follows the escape of a kidnapped man and his quest for freedom.

The Emmy Award-winning series initially began on January 20th, 2008, with the cast celebrating their ten-year reunion earlier this year, sparking rumors of a reboot or spin-off. The series went on to earn critical acclaim as well as becoming one of the most talked about shows of recent years and sparking the popular spin-off series Better Call Saul.
