Vince Gilligan’s ‘Breaking Bad’ Movie Headed To Netflix & AMC

Netflix first, then AMC

Gilligan writing and probably directing

Also, it’s being written as a movie but it might air as episodes. Very strange!

 

I honestly like it being on that platform more than the movie theaters. Watching BB in the theaters would be weird.

 

Just leave the show alone.

 

This is so unnecessary

 

I trust Gilligan.

 

i can’t believe how many are against the idea of this. if BCS didn’t make you a believer by matching and sometimes exceeding the emotional depth of Breaking Bad, i don’t even know. Gilligan probably has a killer idea and endgame for this that we will all be drooling over when it’s here.

 

I haven't watched all of BCS, just the first season, because I didn't think the story was worth a spin off. I've heard it's great, but where could the BrBa story go after the finale? Any ideas of what could happen next are completely not interesting to me.

 

Gilligan has earned my trust with how good BCS is. As long as the story adds something to the existing narrative, I'm on board. And of course, there's a chance it could tie in to Jimmy/Saul/Gene's story, too.

 

Jesse is a tortured soul and who at the end of Breaking Bad ripped off the bandaid of years of emotional torture and manipulation and personal demons. we don’t know if the police caught up to him, what his acceptance of what happened has been like, any of that.

i think people are concerned it won’t match the excitement and tension of Breaking Bad, but i don’t think it even needs to try. a somber analysis of Pinkman as a person dealing with what he and Walt had done and trying to figure out if he can just be a person again sounds absolutely worth my time

 

like, if a Jesse Pinkman series were announced, i’d have my skepticism i’m sure. but i totally trust that Gilligan has a fantastic epilogue in him.

 

Well, that's just where we disagree. I don't think there's much more there to go into with Jesse that wouldn't be a retread of what we've already seen.

 

curious, what do you think would be a retread? Jesse is out of the game with virtually nothing in the world to go back to. if he hasn’t been brought in, he will be living in constant fear of that or of other cartel affiliates knocking him off, probably simultaneously lamenting and mourning Walt

idk i’m picturing a Rectify kind of tone for this in my head and am all sorts of down

 

I don't think the character/Gilligan is capable of writing something nuanced like Rectify and I think we've already seen every different form of a character/person like Jesse in the show already.

Regardless, it's whatever, I don't really care that much, I might even check it out if it's just one movie or something. I just don't think the characters are worth the time. I'd rather him move on to something completely new.

 

This is not something I want, but I'll be damned if I don't see it.

 

If the Walking Dead movie with Rick flops, you think they'll still go through with this?

 

i do, yes. way different markets and expectations in place for each.

 

Is that even close to starting production? I don't follow anything TWD close enough to even know but it seems like this will be first.

But if Rick came first and flopped, I doubt it would affect what Vince has done.

 

I'm not following up on it either, I just heard that was the plan. Seems like they want to get into doing movies though from both of these announcements. I just wonder how big of an audience they have for movie spin offs, and if one fails do they keep doing them or will it be like the Universal Dark Universe and DCEU where they announce way too much only to get them pulled lol.

 

This is already filming and I don’t think the Rick movie is anywhere near production.

 

Big difference between TWD & Breaking Bad in that TWD is on going so a movie is really a spin-off rather than a continuation/sequel, and also from what I hear TWD has really fallen off in quality, whereas Breaking Bad was beloved all the way through. And if you put it on Netflix, who is not going to watch the Breaking Bad movie if they have seen the show?

 

I think this will be good, I truly don't believe they would do it if they weren't very confident in their ability to pull it off.

 

i trust vince. this is gonna be awesome

 

Cannot wait for the Breaking Bad Cinematic Universe!!!

Nah but for real this will be good

 

There’s major potential to tie this to Saul.

 

A huge part of what's made BCS work is that the character of Jimmy McGill has a lot more to him than what we saw on BB. I think in order for this film to succeed, Gilligan needs to expand Jesse's character in a similar fashion. Maybe he goes to study air traffic control with Donald Margolis?
