Will Walt And Jesse Appear In BETTER CALL SAUL?
One of the biggest outstanding questions about the Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul, is whether key characters from BB would show up in the prequel series. In speaking with THR, the show’s creator Vince Gilligan was asked whether Walt and Jesse , as well as other BB regulars, would make an appearance in the spin-off. His reply: “Personally, I’d have a hard time resisting putting all these guys in for a cameo or two every now and then.” So we might not have seen the last of Walter White after...

Marvel Prepping 4 TV Series, Plus A Mini-Series
Now that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has a full season pickup, Marvel can likely breathe a little easier when it comes to small screen properties. That’s why the news that Marvel is prepping more TV isn’t that shocking. The scope of the project, 60-episodes of TV with 4 series and a mini-series, kind of is. Even for a company on a role like Marvel, you have to imagine there’s some risk involved with committing so heavily to television in addition to cinema. But when you have a stable of characters as deep as Marvel does, can you blame them for wanting to leverage those heroes and villains? One of the TV series expected to come out of this is the rumored Agent Carter TV series, which could launch out of the Marvel One Shot short film that appears on the Iron Man 3...

Hannibal Lecter Is A BREAKING BAD Fanboy
Oliver Stone may have hated Breaking Bad, but at least one other Oscar winner was thrilled by it. Anthony Hopkins wrote a gushing letter to Bryan Cranston about how much he loved the show after shotgunning the last eight episodes in two weeks. Yeah, I know, two weeks is a long time, but he’s a busy man, I’m sure. ANYWAY, here’s what Hopkins had to say: Dear Mister Cranston. I wanted to write you this email – so I am contacting you through Jeremy Barber – I take it we are both represented by UTA . Great agency. I’ve just finished a marathon of watching “BREAKING BAD” – from episode one of the First Season – to the last eight episodes of the Sixth Season. (I downloaded the last season on AMAZON) A total of two weeks (addictive) viewing. I...

Saul Goodman and Dennis Join FX’s FARGO Making The Series Infinitely Better Almost Immediately
Okay, Billy Bob Thornton is one thing, but having that Coen regular join the brothers’ upcoming TV adaptation of their film Fargo didn’t make it a must-watch. Knowing that the series was always going to be a hard sell, the Coens may have done the one thing that will actually get people to watch the show without question: Casting Bob Odenkirk and Glenn Howerton. And suddenly, we care about Fargo. Bob Odenkirk, of course, is coming of one of the greatest, grittiest comedic roles in TV history. But the comedy genius also starred in Mr. Show, arguably the best comedy of the 90s. (Sorry, Seinfeld.) Howerton, in turn, stars in another great, gritty comedy series It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which I can tell you as someone originally from Pennsylvania captures my people perfectly. Odenkirk will play Deputy Bill Olsen from Bemidji,...

So Oliver Stone *Hated* The BREAKING BAD Finale
For most Breaking Bad fans, the series finale could be best described as “fitting” with moments of perfection. I mean I could watch that scene between Walt and Skyler a hundred times and it just won’t get old. But famed director Oliver Stone sees the Walt’s last hurrah a little differently, calling it “a joke” and “ridiculous.” I’ll just let the comments he made in Forbes speak for themselves for a moment: There’s too much violence in our movies – and it’s all unreal to me. I don’t know if you saw the denouement [of Breaking Bad], I happen to not watch the series very much, but I happened to tune in and I saw the most ridiculous 15 minutes of a movie – it would be laughed off the screen. Nobody could park his car right then and there...
