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.
