Breaking Bad the movie is coming, says Bryan Cranston – but will Walter White return?
- Hit TV series about science teacher turned drug lord will be made into a film, its lead star says
- But actor hasn’t read the script and can’t confirm his character will feature
Popular television drama Breaking Bad is coming back in movie format, says the show’s star Bryan Cranston, but it was not clear if his iconic character Walter White would return as well.
The series, which ran from 2008 until 2013, told the story of White, a high school science teacher who responds to a terminal cancer diagnosis by turning into a powerful drug lord.
It is one of the best-reviewed shows in TV history and earned a total of 16 Emmys, including four best actor prizes for Cranston, and two Golden Globes.
“There appears to be a movie version of Breaking Bad but I honestly have not even read the script,” Cranston, 62, said on The Dan Patrick Show, a national radio programme in the United States.
“So there’s question whether or not we would even see Walter White in this movie.”
Spoiler alert: White died at the end of the series.
