MEXICO – Rick Grimes (played by Andrew Lincoln) said goodbye to The Walking Dead last Monday after eight and a half seasons. This is the axis on which the series turned, which in recent seasons had given a significant reduction in quality and audience. A few minutes after the release of the episode, it was announced that Lincoln would play at least three Rick movies, which will be broadcast on the network itself. Today, specialized media such as The Hollywood Reporter inform, without official confirmation to date, that there is a movie Breaking Bad in preparation (2008-2013), also AMC series. Outside the channel, the Sopranos and British drama Downton Abbey will also have films. The expansion of big hits beyond his life on television is starting to be a norm in Hollywood. Each series, a universe.

Producer and screenwriter Vince Gilligan prepares, according to THR, a film that will begin in mid-November in Albuquerque, New Mexico, same place where the series was shot and its previous (Better Call Saul). What we do not know is whether it will feature characters from fiction, including Bryan Cranston (Walter White), or whether it will be a new facet of the Breaking Bad universe. And we do not know if it will be a movie for television, like that of The Walking Dead, or it will come out in cinemas. According to Collider, the New Mexico Film Office has confirmed that a project titled Greenbier (title confus) is underway at Sony TV, the producer of Breaking Bad, which will number 300 people . his film crew, 16 state actors and up to 450 extras.

Gilligan has already advanced EL PAÍS that the universe of Breaking Bad had stories to tell: "There is an old saying that" never say never, there may be more to say. I'm still not 100% sure, but there may still be something to explore in the world of Breaking Bad. but maybe a little [en español]"He told this diary early October" I wish to move on to other stories that have nothing to do with Breaking Bad, I have resisted too much and I need to tell of new stories, I want to try new things as a screenwriter, to experiment. But it's a very interesting world that I've always loved and when I'm done, I'll miss him a lot. "Gilligan signed a big three-year contract with Sony TV in July and this film will be his new project with the company.

AMC has already opted for a sister series for The Walking Dead, its biggest commercial success, with Fear The Walking Dead, which has been four seasons. And he launched a prequel in Breaking Bad with Better Call Saul, which tells the story of the protagonist's advocate of Breaking Bad and who also has four seasons of success and has confirmed a fifth (to be released in 2019).

It now seems that the channel wants to link fans of both fiction by expanding this universe to movies, a way to keep the attention of these in a different format. In a world with so many platforms, channels, producers and content, product loyalty is important. Among the AMC projects, it could be an agreement with an excellent platform to distribute all of this content by even broadcasting some of the movies to the cinema.
