Breaking Bad. It’s been off our screens for a while now (well, unless you have Netflix, that is). And dammit – we still miss it. Watching new episodes was all a lot of us lived for a few years ago. Better Call Saul, the show’s spin-off, is good. But not a patch on the original. If only there was a movie version coming out or something…
Well, there kind of is. Okay, okay – so it’s not new footage. But some clever Breaking Bad fan has done something truly amazing. He’s cut all 67 episodes down to just two hours. 127 minutes to be exact. And it’s BRILLIANT.
Here’s what the dude behind the special re-edit says about it: “After two years of sleepless nights of endless editing, we bring you the answer to that very question.”
“A study project that became an all-consuming passion. It’s not a fan-film, hitting the highlights of show in a home-made homage, but rather a re-imagining of the underlying concept itself, lending itself to full feature-length treatment. An alternative Breaking Bad, to be viewed with fresh eyes.”
People have long obsessed over the show, so if there was going to be one television program that attracted a fan so into it they’d trawl through fifty-odd hours to cut down to two, it’s Breaking Bad.
And here it is. This really is special. What an awesome editing job this is…
