‘Breaking Bad’ Fans Believe That The Rumored Movie Will Follow This Beloved Character

Breaking Bad has such a rich universe that even the two-bit strip-mall lawyer can anchor one of the best shows on television. So, when word got out that creator Vince Gilligan was supposedly working on a Breaking Bad movie, currently titled Greenbriar, the mind raced with possibilities. Maybe we’ll learn Spooge’s tragic backstory, before the ill-fated ATM incident, or how Peter became Skinny Pete Or, and this is probably for the best, it’ll be about Jesse.

The plot description provided by the Albuquerque Journal reads that the film “tracks the escape of a kidnapped man and his quest for freedom,” which sure sounds like Jesse Pinkman. The last time we see the drug dealer-turned-crystal meth cooker played by Aaron Paul, he was driving away from Walt and the terrible life he made for himself. Paul has said multiple times that he’s interested in returning to the role that earned him three Emmys, and Gilligan “desperately” wants to see Jesse again, too. Also, AMC is in the (TV) movie business now.

A Breaking Bad movie about Jesse Oh man only if it means he gets happiness in the end because that mans soul needs it after the end of the show @aaronpaul_8

This has to be a Jesse Pinkman movie, right @aaronpaul_8 I'd be skeptical, but Vince Gilligan has earned my complete trust, so it's all good, man! https://t.co/hYRnsakTr5

I hope it's just Jesse Pinkman having a nice day and wearing clothes that fit right. Seeing a therapist. Maybe he plays with a dog. Someone surprises him with free doughnuts. A good tv show is on that night. https://t.co/gwH7ZtrUIj

Of course, there are some complications. Paul booked a series regular role on Westworld. Also, it must be asked: do we really want a Jesse Pinkman movie Better Call Saul is better than anyone could have predicted, but there was a lot left to explore with Saul Goodman — over the course of five seasons, Jesse, as a character, was well examined. Still, it’s hard not to get somewhat excited…

bitch.
