What’s the next best thing to Science finding a way to erase all memory of you having ever watched Breaking Bad for the sole purpose of you being able to watch it all over again with the wondering eyes and open heart of a first time viewer?
Well, for one, Better Call Saul featuring cameos by our mates Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul (hopefully Huell) and a host of new characters including: “Burt, Dr. Thurber, Beth, Eddie, and Zak and Luke. Burt is described as a ‘Kennedy’ type lawyer in a white-shoe law firm. Dr. Thurber and Beth are also supposed to be lawyers. Eddie is a career criminal, a cool guy who speaks Spanish. Zak and Luke are skateboarding twins around 20 years old.”
Otherwise, publisher Scribner has announced Bryan Cranston is currently penning a memoir of his life and work to be released in 2015. As reported by The New York Times, Cranston has said in a statement that he plans to “tell the stories of my life and reveal the secrets and lies that I lived with for six years shooting Breaking Bad.”
Looks like BB admirers have some fun new insights into the man, the character and The One Who Knocks to look forward to [fan thirstiness intensifies].
In the meantime, during a recent interview Cranston spoke about his time inside Walter White: “I related to this man — I knew men like him who missed opportunities in their lives, but still became functioning, still loving to their family, still paying their bills, but there’s something that died in their interior. They’re putting one step in front of the other, [but] they’re in deep depression.”
He went on to say: “There are two basic ways it manifests: externally or internally…He went into a shell. He didn’t care about his looks, he didn’t care about his weight, his clothes, nothing mattered to him. He was invisible to himself and the world. The ironic diagnosis of terminal cancer: was his ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card. It exploded his emotions, [and gave him the will] to live, even if it’s for a short period of time. Those last two years of his life were full and exciting, and I don’t think he would’ve traded it.”
Never Forget.
