Why in the world did Breaking Bad end?
When Breaking Bad came to an end after 6 years in September 2013, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), Skyler White (Anna Gunn) and Walter White (Bryan Cranston). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Breaking Bad reunion disappoint people?
Breaking Bad aired from 2008-2013 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Paul said he's not sure if Breaking Bad would work today. “I don't want to see old Jesse Pinkman,” he told a journalist (Paul turned 45 in August). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.
Still hoping for a Breaking Bad movie?
In a recent interview, Dean Norris (who played Hank Schrader) said he can't imagine a Breaking Bad reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
Co-star Betsy Brandt (who played Marie Schrader) has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Breaking Bad movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be a Breaking Bad film, David Costabile stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about a Breaking Bad reboot?
Recasting Breaking Bad for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of a Breaking Bad reunion, a Breaking Bad movie, or a Breaking Bad reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
