UPDATE: THR reports Vince Gilligan is writing a two-hour movie (and may direct it), which will be set in the Breaking Bad franchise. The original article follows.

-

A surprise Breaking Bad movie is coming through the pipeline and reportedly starts filming later this fall. Widely considered one of the finest television dramas of all-time, Vince Gilligan's epic crime saga remains among AMC's flagship properties. After Breaking Bad concluded its prolific five-season run back in 2013, the network quickly moved ahead with the prequel/spinoff series, Better Call Saul. Following the exploits of a pre-Breaking Bad Jimmy McGill, Saul has become an acclaimed show in its own right, earning several accolades across its four seasons.

 

Better Call Saul was renewed for a fifth season, but as it inches closer and closer to the events of Breaking Bad, it's apparent the spinoff has a limited shelf life. There's a distinct possibility the next season of Saul is the last, which would leave quite a void in AMC's programming. However, they apparently have something major in the works that'll ensure they don't have to say goodbye to Gilligan's Albuquerque just yet.

 

According to the Albuquerque Journal, a film going by the working title Greenbrier(a Sony production) is in fact a secret Breaking Bad movie. Principal photography will start in New Mexico later this month and run until February 2019.

 

It's important to note there's no official confirmation Greenbrier is a Breaking Badproject, but there's enough evidence to make it a plausible claim. Albuquerque, of course, was a primary filming location for both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, so that in it of itself will be a strong connection for most people. The two shows were also Sony productions, and Gilligan has a three-year deal in place with Sony Pictures Television. Additionally, Greenbrier is said to follow "the escape of a kidnapped man and his quest for freedom." That could be applied to one Jesse Pinkman, who was last seen speeding away after he and Walter White defeated Jack Welker's gang.

Wrong link at the bottom there me thinks.

 

 

I thought a Saul spin off was a terrible idea and that turned out great so hopefully this does well too.

Thank you! I blame age ;)

Personally, I thought the whole show was a poor premise that could only ever work in the USA.  Anywhere else, it would have ended right after his first doctors' appointment with the words "Treatment starts on Monday."  :p

I fear this is going to crash and burn. Breaking Bad was just too incredible, a film couldn't top it nor compare.

 

But hey, prove me wrong. It'll be one of the few times I'll be happy to eat my words.

      The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.

      Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
