Bryan Cranston Talks About His Feelings Around a MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE Reunion or Reboot
Long before the days of Walter White in Breaking Bad, Oscar-nominee, and Emmy and Golden Globe-winner, Brian Cranston, played TV dad Hal Wilkerson in the seven-season family favorite sitcom Malcolm in the Middle. The show ran from 2000-2006, and fans have long asked for a reunion or reboot, movie or show, just something to bring the cast and writers back together so that fans could see their favorite characters reunite one more time.
Even the actors seem to all be down for another chapter. Cranston recently told ET:
"It would be fun to explore now. All these boys who are now grown-ups and on their own with kids of their own, and it'd be fun to explore that. I'm open to that." But with Cranston reportedly developing a Malcolm reboot, he zipped his lips, adding: "I'm going to lock it down."
Cranston and star of the series, Frankie Muniz were featured in the series alongside Jane Kaczmarek as Lois, Christopher Masterson as Francis, Justin Berfield as Reese, and Erik Per Sullivan as Dewey. Last year, Cranston revealed that he pitched a Malcolm in the Middle movie catching up with the family 20 years after the 2006 series finale.
The actor told GQ:
"I first proposed the idea of a reunion movie. The creator of the show, Linwood Boomer, is warming to it. If we come across an idea that all of us feel is really valid, not just – I have no interest to keep busy or pick up a paycheck – I want to do something that, 'Man, that's a great idea.' And we get to see these people 20 years later. All the boys are now at least in their thirties. They're all grown men, married, children ... It's just an extraordinary situation for me. In fact, a couple of them are nearing the age I was when I played the dad of those kids."
According to Muniz, Cranston is "kind of heading writing the script and getting everything rolling. So, there might be something. I would be down 100 percent."
