These days when people like TV shows and those TV shows end, the people who liked those TV shows demand a movie version of those TV shows. Duh. We all know that because it’s basically the only thing we ever talk about. But generally this demand comes when fans feel as though the TV show was canceled prematurely, or had more to give them — when they feel like it was left open-ended, let’s say. So why IN GOODNESS’S NAME would anyone be clamoring (if anyone even is, besides Bryan Cranston, Vince Gilligan, and BLOGS) for a Breaking Bad movie, when we’re still TWO SUMMERS AWAY from it even ending? And when Vince Gilligan had his entire life, basically, to come up with an appropriate ending? WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY? Why, Bryan Cranston, in an interview with the LA Times?
“Vince feels that now we have too much story,” Cranston says, laughing. “We could actually go beyond those 16 episodes.”
Which leads Cranston to considering his character’s future beyond the next 16 hours of television.
“It’s not far-fetched,” Cranston says. “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.”
Ugh, BOOOOOO. I don’t know what you guys think, which is why I’m asking, but even though I love Breaking Bad VERY MUCH, I do not want a movie about what Walter White is up to just because Vince Gilligan says he can think of a few more things for Walter White to do. Like, I’m sure we can ALL think of something to make a Breaking Bad movie about even if Walter White dies. “Walt White is a ghost in Heaven and he meets Gus there and at first their enemies, because of you know what, but God pairs them together to solve Heaven crimes and over time they learn to love each other like brothers. Also Jesse is back on Earth and he marries a girl named Kelly.” THE END. We can all do it, but that doesn’t mean we want or need it. Right? Can’t we be content with how Vince Gilligan is going to end the TV show, which will probably be perfect? What do you think? Am I wrong? (No.) (I don’t think so.)

This is a great excuse for me to post Die Antwoord’s (remember them?) FB status update from yesterday which almost killed me:

Maybe the Breaking Bad movie could just be Walter White teaching a chemistry class.
“Covalent bonds.” – Walter White
Did people want a Dead Like Me movie? Yes, they did. X-Files? Yes, we were very excited. Everyone just stop wanting movies of things that you already watched on TV. Yes, even Community.
(Plus, maybe an unpopular opinion here, but I will only be satisfied with an ending where Jesse has enough of Walt’s bullshit and just shoots him in the face. Or maybe Skylar. Or maybe Jesse just strands him in the desert. Either way, he needs to get his.)
How the fuck do you just go and replace Rube? You can’t trick me by throwing Desmond in there, YOU CANNOT FUCKING REPLACE RUBE WHEN YOU MAKE THAT MOVIE! PAY MANDY THE BIG BUCKS!
RIGHT?!?!?!
I agree. Just trash all around.
At least with the first x-files movie it was during the series.
People who want the Breaking Bad movie to happen really want Michael Jordan to get back out on the court. #letthingsbeaswesomeandthenbeover
I think more and more lately the actors are the ones trying to whip up the crowd, so to speak. Get a new job, you’re should be doing fine monetarily Bryan Cranston!
You’re not wrong.
Cranston’s quote is getting too much play imo, and we don’t even know the question he was asked when he gave that answer. He may very well just be entertaining the interviewer’s questions. We have no idea what the initial question was, and then the articee says, “Which leads Cranston to considering his character’s future beyond the next 16 hours of television.” WHAT LED CRANSTON TO CONSIDER HIS CHARACTER’S FUTURE BEYOND THE NEXT 16 HOURS OF TELEVISION? HIM MERELY RECOLLECTING THAT VINCE HAS A LOT OF IDEAS?
None of Cranston’s quotes have the words ‘film’ or ‘movie’ even in them! What is happening here? This bugged me when it was a link yesterday. Still bugs me today.
If it’s as great as Fire Walk With Me, then yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ll raise a glass of Good Morning America to that.
AL-BU-KURR-KEE NEW MEX-EEE-CO
this just makes me breaking sad.
Nice teaser BC…”if he’s still ALIVE?!?!?”
Didn’t Vince Gilligan originally say 3 seasons or something? Because the show couldn’t go on for too many seasons? I hope the show will be good until the end without any bloat, but I can see why Gilligan would be tempted to extend his pet project. I mean if you can write Breaking Bad forever and have that be just your job and people keep paying you, why not? He’ll do a movie if all the fans want a movie. Money and ego are powerful motivators. (For everyone, not just for him. I am not knocking Vince Gilligan.)
I think he said something along the line of 50 episodes. Season 4 brought the total number of episodes up to 46.
Oh okay that sounds about right. I don’t doubt that the show is good for another long season, but it’s already clear that the powers that be would like to keep Breaking Bad on the pop culture forefront for as long as possible. I don’t like that Season 5 is going to be split over two years, and if they decide to put the last two or three episodes’ worth of plot into a movie, then…sigh.
“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
This time it can be personal!
Actually a prequel is a good idea. It can be an art-house indie film about existential ennui in middle class southwestern hell.
Hey guys, remember how The Office was like the best show on television through the first three seasons, and now they are selling triangular shaped iPads in Florida while wearing blue jumpsuits or something? Yeah. I don’t want to see Breaking Bad sell triangular shaped iPads in Florida while wearing blue jumpsuits or something.
I also am not a fan of these reports because Bryan Cranston is affable and nice and relatable in every one of his interviews I’ve ever seen or listened to, and not knowing what the interviewer actually asked him in order to get Cranston to muse on the future of Breaking Bad in whatever capacity he did here is maddening to me. Cranston was probably being nice and pleasant and open to ideas, as he usually is.
That said, who knows? I certainly don’t think they’ll make a Breaking Bad movie, and I don’t think Cranston does either. I think him saying ‘no’ to anything BB-related right now is some form of giving away surprises for the show, and so as a default he’s just saying “Anything is possible, sure. I wouldn’t rule it out.”
He flat out already stated he has no idea what the final episodes are about yet. Gilligan hasn’t written them!
We have too much great stuff already. I mean, quit it with all the really good television and movies guy. We need to get to work on making adaptations of board games, continuously revamping franchises to make sure the studio keeps the rights to churning out tons more of those franchises, etc. Obviously, the biggest problem with Hollywood is all these films that give a coda to great TV shows, and is the worst thing about movies right now. If only we get rid of those, we could have more great stuff like Battleship and What To Expect.
‘what will we talk about when the show is done for good? How we need and DESERVE a Breaking Bad movie? I guess that will have to do. Sigh.’ – a blogger SOMEWHERE on the internet

Yo, television series turned into movies are totally lame, BITCH. (Is that joke old yet? No? OK.)
