As previously reported Bryan Cranston next major role is in Breaking Bad and AMC original TV series set to air January 2008. Bryan plays a high school chemistry teacher who becomes a meth dealer (using his chemistry skills) when he learns that he is dying of lung cancer so he can provide for his wife and handicapped son after he's gone.

With its focus on a sympathetic drug peddler, the script from The X-Files exec producer Gilligan had been considered a hot, if controversial, property......The main character does some things that are surprising and questionable........But it’s a classic story of one man against the system, and you’re rooting for him......While the show doesn’t glorify meth dealing, it does paint a sympathetic portrait of the man who decides to take up an unlikely new vocation as a drug dealer, said those familiar with the project.....

Bryan's on screen son (16) is played by RJ Mitte (pictured above) which his biggest role to date. RJ and his character share something in common both have cerebral palsy (although RJ's is mild). For more information on RJ read this article.

Nine episodes will be ordered including a 58-minute pilot. Show will go into production in September in New Mexico and likely air in January.

Official details and photos have now been release by AMC, on Bryan Cranston's (Hal) latest project Breaking Bad.

Breaking Bad, the next addictive original series from AMC, is a darkly comic drama that captures life at a moment of irrevocable change. In the ultimate mid-life crisis, high school chemistry teacher Walter White takes a match to his straight-laced existence and concocts a criminal new lifestyle.

Life becomes crystal clear for Walter when he discovers he is dying of lung cancer. With a new sense of fearlessness and desperate to secure his family’s financial future, Walter teams up with a former student to turn a used Winnebago into a rolling meth lab. Released from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society, Walter transforms from repressed everyman into empowered "entrepreneur".

Created by Vince Gilligan (The X Files) and starring Bryan Cranston (Malcolm in the Middle), Breaking Bad takes us on a journey where everyday life combusts in an uncontrolled experiment with the American dream.

The series premieres in January 2008.

Whether or not they have all been completed will determine if the show premières on this date as will when the writers strike ends.

This interview with a camera rental service says:

Breaking Bad will be returning equipment in late December and shutting down.

However it doesn't say how much filming is completed.

Love the teaser! Can't wait to see this new series.

Could someone please tell me what he's saying here : "to all law enforcement, this not..." ? I didn't get it, thanks.
