Vince Gilligan is set to write and direct a two-hour Breaking Bad film, but it's unclear if it will be made for TV or for theaters. The Albuquerque Journal first reported of the project, registered with the New Mexico Film Office. According to The Hollywood Reporter, "details on the project, which has been floating around the industry with a possible fake/working title of 'Greenbrier,' are slim. It's unclear if the movie would be another prequel — like AMC's Better Call Saul — or a follow-up of some sort. It's also unclear is if any of the original stars, such as Bryan Cranston or Aaron Paul, are involved in the new project, which sources stress will be set in the existing Breaking Bad franchise." According to Deadline, the film is "envisioned as a standalone installment in the Breaking Bad franchise that lives in the Breaking Bad universe." The film would be the first project in Gilligan's new three-year overall deal he signed with Sony TV in July.

Bryan Cranston says he hasn't been asked to join a Breaking Bad movie nor has he read a script

“Yes, there appears to be a movie version of Breaking Bad,” Cranston said on The Dan Patrick Show when asked this morning about reports of the Breaking Bad movie. “But I, honestly have not even read the script. So I couldn’t tell you.” Cranston did admit he has spoken to creator Vince Gilligan about the project. “If Vince Gilligan asked me to do it, sure, absolutely," he said. "He’s a genius.” ALSO: Breaking Bad movie will reportedly focus on Aaron Paul's Jesse Pinkman.

Bryan Cranston: This is what I'd like to see from a Jesse Pinkman Breaking Bad movie

Cranston insisted again, in an interview with Indiewire, that he knows nothing about a Breaking Bad movie. But he adds: “I would like to see — and again I have no idea if this is what (Vince Gilligan is) thinking about — I would like to see (Jesse) struggle to break that mold and eventually break out and find his own real true calling. Something that empowered him as a human being, that is on the straight and narrow, that allows him to be able to open up, to let another human being into his life. And be happy. ‘Cause I don’t sense that he was really ever happy.”

Breaking Bad gave Jesse Pinkman a good ending, making Netflix's El Camino movie unnecessary

Vince Gilligan should've left well enough alone with the Breaking Bad series finale, says Kate Gardner. "We don’t get tidy bows on anyone’s story except knowing that Walt dies, and that works because we’ve been living through his point of view since episode one," she says of the series finale. "That’s why the ending works so well and why the finale works as an excellent epilogue to the series." Gardner adds: "Maybe I’m hesitant about the movie, which looks to be beautifully shot and well acted, because I don’t like unnecessary sequels. There’s a difference between a franchise expanding through different stories about a specific universe and a singular narrative following a small group of characters that doesn’t need to be told because the ending was good enough. Breaking Bad isn’t Star Wars. We don’t need to see Jesse move to an island full of porgs, though maybe that would bring him joy. Sometimes, it’s better to let the story end when it needs to end. We don’t need to over-explain everything. Sometimes, it’s best to let the characters exist in their endings, and if you really need a solution, that’s where personal headcanons and the occasional fanfic come in. The story doesn’t always need to be told by the creators."
