Someone Spent Two Years Editing All of BREAKING BAD Into a Two Hour Movie

Evergreen Videos Movie Breaking Bad about 7 years agoby Ben Pearson

It's been more than three years since AMC's layered, complex drug drama Breaking Bad came to a satisfying end and cemented itself in the pantheon of the best television shows ever made. I haven't carved out enough time to rewatch the entire series yet (there's a seemingly never-ending list of things I need to catch up with first), but my Blu-ray box set is ready, patiently waiting in the corner. But while revisiting the series in its entirety would certainly bring its own joy and value, today I discovered an interesting alternative that wouldn't take nearly as much time.

It's called Breaking Bad: The Movie. Someone decided to condense the entire 62 hours of the show's runtime into just over two hours. To be absolutely clear: I'm certainly not saying that this should be seen in lieu of the original show. But, as the creators of this video put it, as an "alternative"? Seems like a cool idea. I clicked around through the video a little bit (full disclosure: I didn't have two free hours to kill watching this before I wrote about it, so I haven't seen the entire thing yet), and I think in addition to the exercise of trimming the show down to its key components, it's also a fascinating commentary on the cinematic nature of modern TV. Take a look, and let me know what you think.

What if Breaking Bad was a movie ?

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.
