It looks like The Walking Dead isn’t the only AMC property that is getting the movie treatment. According to the Albuquerque Journal, Breaking Bad is also getting a movie!
This might be a hard pill to swallow, but this might actually be happening as the information comes from the New Mexico Film Office.
The report goes on to say the the project is being developed under the name “Greenbrier,” and the story is said to centers around a kidnapped man making an escape.
AMC has announced the first projects in development from Chief Content Officer Scott M. Gimple for The Walking Dead Universe. A series of AMC Studios Original Films, starring Andrew Lincoln and written by Gimple, are planned to continue the story of Rick Grimes, with the first expected to begin production as early as 2019.
In Lincoln’s final appearance on the hit series The Walking Dead, the character of Rick Grimes is mortally wounded and last seen being flown away by helicopter to an unknown destination. The first film will explore the story of where Rick is taken and what he faces in a new corner of the zombie apocalypse.
Last night revealed that The Walking Dead’s universe is expanding in very ambitious ways. In the case of the series’ longest-tenured stars, this means behind-the-scenes contract renewals and salary negotiations. Via The Hollywood Reporter, Norman Reedus (Daryl) and Melissa McBride (Carol) have signed new deals with AMC that cover the next three years of the Walking Dead franchise.

However, two exec producers tell EW that they did not change their approach at all after many viewers were critical of the graphic nature of the premiere. Showrunner Scott M. Gimple points out that the explicitness of that premiere baseball bat beating was intended to be above and beyond what the zombie drama usually does, and that nothing that came after was ever intended to come anywhere close to it.

The season premiere gave off the intention that the rest of the season will be filled with plenty of violence and gore. Instead, it appears the show will only become less violent as time goes on and it turns out it’s all it’s all the epic season premiere’s fault. Continue reading
