Vince Gilligan

Five years after it came to an end, and described by many as the greatest television series of all time, it seems as if ‘Breaking Bad’ may be revived as a film project.

According to The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday (November 7th), the show’s creator Vince Gilligan is working on a project currently in its development stage, described as a two-hour long film that “will be set in the existing ‘Breaking Bad’ franchise.”

Further details are pretty scarce at the moment, including on the participation of the show’s original stars Bryan Cranston, Anna Gunn and Aaron Paul, or whether the project is intended for the small screen or for the cinema. However, it is the first project to bear fruit regarding Gilligan’s recently-inked deal with Sony.

'Breaking Bad' is without a doubt one of the most popular television shows of recent memory. Despite its success however, creator Vince Gilligan decided that the story would be coming to an end after five seasons, taking Bryan Cranston's character Walter White away from the small screen for good. It was a disappointing time for fans, but the majority of viewers were impressed by the ending that came at the narrative's conclusion.

Telling a story unlike any we'd seen on television before, a roster of compelling characters who we would love in one moment and love to hate the next would make their presence felt, cementing themselves in the history of pop culture. Gilligan had scored the jackpot with his show, and it's something he's trying to recapture with spin-off series 'Better Call Saul', featuring fan-favourite character Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk).

When 'Breaking Bad' eventually came to a close, a solid and rabid fan base sat in silence, mourning the end of one of the world's most beloved shows. From creator Vince Gilligan, and starring the likes of Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman respectively, the series worked its way into the hearts of viewers across the globe.

Though the characters involved in the narrative weren't ones you should really root for, Jesse in particular was somebody that the audience just wanted to see do well and escape the world of crime and corruption he had become so embedded in. Though he had gotten his hands incredibly dirty, jail time wasn't something we wanted to see him serve. Some audience members may have turned on Walter White, but Jesse was a different beast entirely.

'Breaking Bad' is without a doubt a huge modern day culture phenomenon, finding an audience of millions late into its broadcasting life and spawning spin-off 'Better Call Saul', based on one of the show's fan-favourite characters, Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk).

Formerly known as Jimmy McGill, Saul is a crooked lawyer who helps criminals get away with pulling off some of the biggest crimes taking place in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Though he appears confident in his work throughout most of 'Breaking Bad', he's not always been able to pull in clients so easily. In fact, his rise to prominence with crooks was a perilous one, as we now see in 'Better Call Saul'.
