The mad genius behind TV phenomenon, Breaking Bad, has revealed exciting details about the show's prequel spin-off, Better Call Saul, which aims to focus on the off-beat legal adventures of criminal lawyer, Saul Goodman.
Writer and producer, Vince Gilligan, released thrilling details about his plans on how to maneuver the production of Breaking Bad's exciting branch, 'Better Call Saul' that will tell the tale of the famous lawyer who's determined to keep bad guys off the hole.
"There's obviously a danger inherent in doing a spinoff, but I just love the character of Saul Goodman so much, and part of me doesn't want to say no to this world," said Gilligan, as reported by Rolling Stone Magazine.
Played by comedian Bob Odenkirk, Saul Goodman paved through the storylines of Breaking Bad as the legal and comic relief Walter White and Jesse Pinkman needed from time to time. Saul comes in aid to offenders with small to large-scale demeanors, and initially crossed path with Walter through Jesse's recommendation during his first run-in with the law.
Gilligan revealed that instead of going with the format of a 30-minute sitcom, he and the other producers opted for an hour-long style which will comprise of 75 percent comedy and 25 person high-wire drama.
"We're both one-hour drama guys," Gilligan says, "so we figured, 'Why not shoot Saul in the same way? Let's shoot it in Albuquerque; let's get as much of the crew back together as possible, and let's do it the way we did it before so that it will be of a piece with that pre-existing fictional universe that we had so much fun creating."
The X-Files and Breaking Bad creator also mentioned that injecting some element of drama will prove a challenge, as Saul is known to be comical and funny. Villigan decided to run the show in Breaking Bad's home network, AMC, after being wooed by Netflix and and FX.
"We've had to find the ongoing itch that Saul needs to scratch, so to speak, or else we wouldn't have much of a show," concluded Gilligan in the same Rolling Stone report.
