'Breaking Bad' Remake, Cast, Rumors: Series Gets Its Own Movie, Instead Of Season 6?
"Breaking Bad" is set to have its own film, rather than a season 6, according to recent reports.
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan reportedly wants to have a remake of the of Vince Gilligan's crime drama television series "Breaking Bad," according to India TV News.
The actor told the publication that the story of a man who was going to die and took a chance to save his family as a good premise for a feature film. Khan is also reported to cast himself in the lead role of Walter White.
While filming rights may be a hindrance, the process to obtain the rights for remakes is underway, according to the report. In addition, Indian small screens might not be ready to feature stories that involve meth, drugs, and mafia; however, they will reportedly accept the series in film form.
Created and produced by Gilligan, "Breaking Bad" follows mild-mannered high school chemistry teacher White as he thinks that his life cannot get worse.
His salary as a teacher is not enought to meet the family's needs, not to mention that his pregnant wife is set to give birth and their teenage son has cerebral palsy. What makes things complicated is when he found out that he has terminal cancer. To boost his family's finances, White makes a desperate bid to earn as much as he can by turning an old RV into a meth lab with wheels.
According to Inquisitor, the plans for producing a "Breaking Bad" remake in India are still in early stages, as there are no exact details yet on the film's plot, characters, cast, budget, and most importantly, the rights, at this point.
