Since fans of Vince Gilligan’s hit AMC drama Breaking Bad will have to wait until next year for the show’s epic conclusion, we thought we’d share this entertaining intro sequence to help pass the time.  From French graphic designer Martin Woutisseth comes a re-imagined Breaking Bad intro that features motion animation, great Easter eggs from the series and pays homage to a number of cast members past and present.  If you’re not familiar with the show, be sure to get caught up on all of our episode recaps here.  Fan or not, hit the jump to check out the awesome intro from Woutisseth!

At last night’s Saturn Awards, I was able to speak with RJ Mitte about the final episodes of Breaking Bad.  While Mitte was guarded about revealing spoilers, it was still great to talk with one of the stars of my favorite show.  We talked about Bryan Cranston directing an upcoming episode, the upcoming shooting schedule, if he has a favorite line from the upcoming six episodes, what it’s like when he gets a new script, and if he’ll ever eat lunch or dinner with Cranston (he’s always eating breakfast in the show).  Hit the jump to watch.

AMC keeps dropping pieces of Breaking Bad‘s new season like parts of a burned toy bear soaked in pool water (posters, photos, a teaser trailer, a full-length trailer and a fantastic fan recap.  The latest is a short clip that takes place just after the episode’s cold open, with Walt (Bryan Cranston) and his family reacting to the events that ended last season.  It’s been described as the “calm before the storm,” and a reminder that most Breaking Bad seasons start off slowly, giving you plenty of time to order that defibrillator you’ve been meaning to get to ensure your survival watching this show.  Hit the jump for the video. (Spoiler notes: Don’t watch or go any further if you’re not caught up with the show. If you are caught up, the clip does not reveal any spoilers specific to the new season).

The official trailer for the final season of AMC’s Breaking Bad has landed.  If I had one complaint about the end of season four, it would be that it didn’t feature enough of Gus Fring’s enforcer, Mike (Jonathan Banks).  This trailer for season five addresses that oversight right off the bat and I couldn’t be happier.  For fans of Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), you’ll be happy to see them get back to work in the last season.  As Walt says, “There’s a market to be filled and currently…no one to fill it.”  Luckily, the “awesome dramatic television show” market will be satisfied when Breaking Bad returns to AMC Sunday July 15th.  Hit the jump to see the new trailer.

We’re just 20 days away from the biggest pop culture convention of the year with Comic-Con 2012 coming next month, and slowly but surely studios and TV networks are firming up their rosters of films and series that will take San Diego by storm. This week it’s AMC announcing their line-up of panels for the convention, and the trio of programs hitting the Con is no surprise.

The Walking Dead will make a triumphant return to the convention with an hour-long panel in Hall H moderated by Talking Dead host Chris Hardwick and including special guests like cast members Andrew Lincoln, Sarah Wayne Callies, Laurie Holden, Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, Lauren Cohan, Denai Guerrero and David Morrisey along with Executive Producer and Showrunner Glen Mazzara, Executive Producer Gale Anne Hurd, Executive Producer Robert Kirkman and Co-Executive Producer and Special Effects Make-up Supervisor Greg Nicotero.  But that’s not all. Hit the jump for more.

Just as Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul tweeted that tomorrow is his last day of shooting for this season, we’re hearing reports that a Breaking Bad feature film may be in the foreseeable future.  Why? Because as Walter White (Bryan Cranston) says, “We’re done when I say we’re done.“  The fifth and final season of AMC’s epic dramatic series is coming to a conclusion this summer (in two parts, with part one starting July 15th).  But apparently there’s enough story to carry on even after the next 16 episodes.  This raises interesting questions,  such as, “Who will be left alive at the end of this season to carry on into a feature film?” and “Will the series have a satisfying ending for fans regardless of plans to turn the commodity into a movie?”  Hit the jump for more from Cranston and creator, Vince Gilligan.

Not only do we have an explosive new teaser trailer for the final season of AMC’s Breaking Bad to share with you, we’re also going to provide you with a fan-made recap of all of Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman’s (Aaron Paul) exploits so far!  In just under nine minutes, the YouTube user, editing genius and uber fan (who should really be paid by AMC for this fantastic offering) known only as Jswinney1 has managed to recap, chronologically, the first four seasons of Breaking Bad.

If you’re looking to get caught up before the July 15th premiere and are already excited by the final season’s first teaser trailer, look nowhere else to get your fix. The memories and the intensity are overwhelming. As Hector would say, Ding ding ding ding ding! Hit the jump for the glorious vid.

Summer holds the promise of many delightful things: warm weather, vacations, everyone’s favorite Southern supernatural soap opera and the return of AMC’s Breaking Bad.  Vince Gilligan’s creation about a chemistry teacher and a drug dealer who team up to cook meth is about to enter its fifth season. Season four ended with a bang of both the literal and metaphorical variety and I cannot wait to see where the next season takes us.  While there’s not much to go on from this video, stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul do delight in teasing us with what we can expect in season five.  We do know that the final season will be broken in half and Cranston leaked some details about the premiere (beware spoilers).  Breaking Bad, also starring Anna Gun, Dean Norris, Betsy Brandt, RJ Mitte, Bob Odenkirk and Jonathan Banks returns to AMC this July.  Hit the jump to watch the teaser.

Two streams of blood flow parallel gently gliding away into a drain. Over a week after attending the premiere of Breaking Bad’s 4^th Season, this image still haunts. Enough prose has been shed onto the merits and brilliance of Breaking Bad that by now one should already be familiar with what is arguably the best television series on air and the tragic-comic arc of Walter White’s (Brian Cranston) ascension from mild mannered Chemistry teacher to meth manufacturer to drug kingpin. Suffice is to say that the 4^th season premiere episode does little to dispel the notion of Breaking Bad’s excellence.

On the red carpet before the premiere, we spoke with Cranston, Anna Gunn (Skylar White), Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman), Dean Norris (Hank Schrader), Betsy Brandt (Marie Schrader), RJ Mitte (Walter White Jr.) and Jonathan Banks (Mike). In the following interviews – Cranston espouses on the difficulties of directing vs. acting, Banks discusses whether he has any say in his character’s direction, Norris talks about the inevitability of a Walter/Hank showdown, Brandt discloses if she knows how the show will end, Mitte expands on the growing relationship between Walt Jr. and his father, Gunn speaks out against perceptions that her character is “unsympathetic” and Paul confides how Jesse is able to remain so darn likable despite the terrible things he’s done. For the interviews, hit the jump.

One of the best shows on television is AMC’s Breaking Bad.  While I’m sure you’ve heard the buzz about the show that stars Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Bob Odenkirk, Betsy Brandt and RJ Mitte…let me say it again: Breaking Bad is truly amazing television and if you haven’t gotten the chance to watch it, buy the DVDs and catch up.  You will not be sorry.

Anyway, at this year’s Saturn Awards, I was able to speak with Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan and Aaron Paul and we talked about this past season and what the future holds.  The big news is while production usually begins in August, Gilligan reveals the show doesn’t start filming until January as AMC is moving the show to the summer.  What that means is…it’s going to be a long hiatus.  We also talked about how long the show might be on the air, does he know where next season is going, and a lot more.  Hit the jump to watch the interview:

While AMC’s “Mad Men” gets most of the press, the network has another fantastic show called “Breaking Bad”. If you haven’t watched, the show’s about a brilliant high school chemistry teacher that finds out he’s dying. So to help provide for his family after he’s gone and also to pay for medical treatment, he gets into cooking crystal meth. The problem is the guy has always been a straight shooter and completely honest…so he doesn’t understand how the drug trade works. Trust me, this is a show you really should be watching.

Anyway, AMC recently held a special event at the DGA in Hollywood for the premiere of “Mad Men” season three. While I was there to interview the cast of “Mad Men”, some of the cast of “Breaking Bad” walked the red carpet. So after the jump you can watch my interviews with Aaron Paul (Jesse) and Dean Norris (Hank). Both talked about getting ready to film next season and their thoughts on season two:
