Director Steven Soderbergh thinks the final two episodes of Breaking Bad should be made into a movie. As Soderbergh announced his retirement from the movie industry could this be his way of going out with a bang?
It's no secret Soderbergh is a huge fan of the show, which stars Bryan Cranston as a chemistry teacher who sells crystal meth on the side. And now Soderbergh has turned his hand towards TV might he be the man for the job? Speaking to Empire magazine he said 'it would be a perfect way to fill seats'. 'I thought it would be really cool to have the final two episodes of the show as a movie that aired the Friday after the penultimate episode. 'You'd sell that during the season - 'See the season finale in theatres!'- and just run it for a week, but I feel like you'd clean up. It's never been done before'.
Soderbergh's latest film Behind the Candelabra, which he feels shows his revulsion for the entertainment industry, was shot down by every Hollywood studio due to it being 'too gay'. Despite only needing $5 million dollars no studio would step up so HBO stepped in. No doubt Hollywood studios are kicking themselves now when the film was watched by 3.5 million and has since got widespread distribution.
So could Walter and Jesse be making it onto the big screen? Breaking Bad is set to return for it's final series in August.
