There are few hours of television more heart-poundingly tense than the "Breaking Bad" train robbery episode "Dead Freight." When I saw it for the first time, a relative came home to find me excitedly pacing around the living room, trying to shake off the massive adrenaline rush that came from watching Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) pull off a seamless methylamine heist, only to have the moment undercut by rogue associate Todd's (Jesse Plemons) last-minute decision to murder a child who witnessed the crime. "Dead Freight" was thrilling a decade ago and it's still thrilling today. Somehow, though, I don't think it would've worked as well if it had involved a helicopter and a big vacuum hose.

How Vince Gilligan And Breaking Bad's Writers Cooked Up A Perfect Final Season [Exclusive Interview]
September 29, 2013. On that Sunday, when the clocks hit 9:00pm Et, over 10 million viewers planted themselves before their television sets, ready to watch a new "Breaking Bad" episode for the last time. One of them was this future writer.
That 10 million strong audience sat awed as story threads — some 62 episodes in the making — were finally tied up in "Felina." Walter White (Bryan Cranston) snatched a pyrrhic victory from the jaws of defeat and made a marginal penance by accepting responsibility for his sins. Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) drove off to an uncertain freedom, ringing out with a primal howl after a series' worth of suffering.
The reviews were stellar, a flood of Emmys followed, and with "Felina" as the cherry on top to an already beloved season 5, the reputation of "Breaking Bad" as one of television's titans was secured. 10 years on from "Felina," Heisenberg is definitely a name that people remember.

[Editor’s note: The following review contains spoilers for “Better Call Saul” Season 6, Episode 7, “Plan and Execution.”]
Of all the things on “Better Call Saul” to happen by accident, “one person directing two episodes in back-to-back seasons that heavily feature a dangerous showdown in an apartment living room” doesn’t seem like one of them. Yet, two years after “Bad Choice Road” found Kim (Rhea Seehorn), Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk), and Lalo (Tony Dalton) converging on the same Albuquerque unit square footage, the trio had an unexpected reunion in the show’s Season 6 midseason finale.
This time, that convergence of fates had a far bloodier end, with Howard Hamlin (Patrick Fabian) meeting an untimely end via Lalo’s patiently assembled silencer. Yet, with those similarities, it was far from preordained that Tom Schnauz — who wrote and directed “Bad Choice Road” — would serve in both roles again for “Plan and Execution.”

My uncle works in the music business and his heyday was back in the 1970s, so when he recognized the music industry portrayed in HBO’s Vinyl, I took that as an endorsement. Back then, I was buying a new album almost every week (or so it seemed) and was expanding my tastes thanks to the discovery of FM radio. At the time, I never really thought about the business side of music but that came later.
Viewers today can watch people struggle for a career thanks to American Idol and more recently Fox’s Empire. Vinyl, though, takes a look back when sex, drugs, and rock & roll was a lifestyle, not a catchphrase. This was an era that saw popular music splinter every few years so rock begat heavy metal, California rock, and god help us, disco.

It’s been over two years since “Felina,” the final episode of “Breaking Bad” aired, and yet the iconography of that New Mexico-set show still looms as large as ever in the imagination of fans. One of these fans, editor Jorge Luengo, has cut together a video of one of the visual hallmarks of the series: the wide shot. It may be because of the vast desert of the southwestern United States, it may be because of the ever-present blazing sun, or it may even be because of Heisenberg’s pork pie hat, but the Vince Gilligan-created show always had the air of a western. Luengo’s supercut of wide shots brings the show’s old west leanings into sharp focus, every shot making a case for “Breaking Bad” being the best-looking western of the past twenty years even if it is a show set in the new millennium.

Oscar-snubbed “Life Itself” and “The Lego Movie” win documentary and animation awards
“Birdman” was named the best-produced feature of 2014 at the Producers Guild Awards on Saturday night, giving the daring Alejandro Iñárritu film new life in the Oscar race for Best Picture.
“Boyhood” was considered the most likely PGA winner and the Oscar leader, but the critical favorite now finds itself in the same spot “The Social Network” was in four years ago. That film swept the critics’ awards and the Golden Globes, but then lost the PGA to “The King’s Speech,” which rode a string of guild wins to victory at the Oscars.

Ever since "The Hurt Locker" triumphed over "Avatar" at the 2010 Producers Guild Awards, it has been rather obvious to me that this precursor announcement is the skeleton key to understanding how the Oscar vote will likely play out. Why? Because — as we've noted a number of times — the PGA is the only group that shares the preferential ballot system the Academy employs. So what won this year? "Birdman" won, that's what. And for those who were chalking this up as a boring, telegraphed Oscar season… So, what does this mean for the rest of the season? It means, clearly, "Birdman" could well be poised to take the Best Picture Oscar next month. I, for one, thought "The Imitation Game" would be the one to unseat "Boyhood" this evening and assert itself as the industry favorite. I even thought "American Sniper" had an outside shot. I wasn't looking at "Birdman," though,...

Movies made by women directors were snubbed by the Producers Guild of America when they announced the nominees today! Both "Selma" by Ava DuVernay and "Unbroken" by Angelina Jolie were left in the dust. I agree with not nominating the latter movie (sorry Ms. Jolie but "Unbroken" is too earnest for my taste) but "Selma" deserved a nod! It's a profound movie aided by DuVernay's skilled directing and David Oyelowo's fine performance as Martin Luther King Jr.
You know who I'm blaming for this? Paramount! The studio did not send screeners to Academy voters. Heck, they did not sent one to us, the Broadcast Film Critics Association. But after begging, they did send a link so I could watch "Selma" in time for our Critics' Choice Movie Award nominations.
"Selma" is a "late to the party" entry that is gaining momentum dashed by the PGA! If you remember, Clint Eastwood...

The Producers Guild of America (PGA) added to the industry mix Monday morning with a list of 10 nominees to keep the awards season grist mill churning. "Gone Girl" popped up again, and it shouldn't be a surprise. It's one of the year's biggest hits. And speaking of hits, I had a hunch "Nightcrawler" would find a place after becoming such a well-liked, profitable success. There it sits. The question for both of these films is whether this on-going industry/guild love ends up translating to Oscar recognition. After the "Dragon Tattoo" rush a few years ago, I'm pretty much wait-and-see on stuff like this. Absent from the list was anything out of the Marvel Studios comic book factory, notable as both "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" were both on the top tier of box office earners in 2014. The former currently maintains the throne, though it...

Premium cable network, HBO, is securing its future with two of their previous collaborators set to reunite for an as-yet untitled rock n’ roll drama series. Martin Scorsese and Terence Winter will be heading up the project as executive producers alongside Mick Jagger and Breaking Bad‘s George Mastras. Scorsese will take to the director’s chair for the pilot, while Winter and Mastras will both pen the series.
Based in New York, the 1970s period drama will “explore the drug- and sex-fueled music business as punk and disco were breaking out, all through the eyes of a record executive trying to resurrect his label and find the next new sound.” The hour-long show has been in development since 2011, but has only recently gathered steam – and a huge, starry cast.

HBO is getting back into business with Martin Scorsese. It was announced today that the network has ordered a new rock ‘n’ roll drama, which comes from the director, Breaking Bad‘s George Mastras, and Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, to series. The still untitled 1970s drama focuses on “the drug- and sex-fueled music business as punk and disco were breaking out, all through the eyes of a record executive trying to resurrect his label and find the next new sound.” Bobby Cannavale (the infamous Gyp Rosetti from Season 3 of Boardwalk Empire) stars as Richie, “the founder and president of American Century Records, who has a great ear for discovering talent and who undergoes a crisis of character when confronted with a life-altering decision.” Olivia Wilde (whose most recent TV appearances include BoJack Horseman and Portlandia) stars as Richie’s wife, with Ray Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond, Parenthood) set as one of Richie’s partners.

P.J. Byrne — who played the toupee-sporting Nicky "Rugrat" Koskoff in The Wolf of Wall Street — has joined the cast of HBO's untitled Jagger/Scorsese rock and roll pilot. The show, co-written by George Mastras (Breaking Bad) and Terence Winter (Boardwalk Empire), is set in the New York music industry in the 1970s and stars Bobby Cannavale as record executive Richie Finestra, with Olivia Wilde as his wife and Ray Romano as his right-hand man. According to Deadline, Byrne will play Finestra's partner. If you were hoping that Scorsese's TV show about NYC's "drug-and sex-fueled music business" might contain some Wolf-esque antics, this is a good sign.

When HBO said it was developing a pilot with Martin Scorsese, we all sat up and listened intently. Beyond the strains of distant rock’n’roll, however, details were sketchy at best. There is still no known title for the project, but it continues to take shape – now adding Ray Romano to its intriguing mix. The 1970s-set drama will be executive produced by Scorsese, Mick Jagger, George Mastras and Terence Winter – with Scorsese directing, and Winter (Boardwalk Empire, The Sopranos) penning the script.
We now know the show will focus on music executive Richie Finestra (Bobby Cannavale), following his desperate attempts to discover the ‘next big thing’ in the drug-addled recording industry of 1970s New York City. Olivia Wilde and Juno Temple are already confirmed to co-star, along with Max Casella from Inside Llewyn Davis. The production is aiming for an early summer start.

You know what literally every person says? "No one says rock and roll and drama like Ray Romano." Good thing he has been added to the Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger executive produced HBO pilot. Co-written by George Mastras (Breaking Bad) and Boardwalk Empire creator Terence Winter, the show is set in the music business in 1970s New York. It stars Bobby Cannavale as a record executive and Olivia Wilde as his bohemian wife. Romano will play Cannavale's tough right-hand man, with ties back to the old days (wink). You know, just like in Welcome to Mooseport.

With Boardwalk Empire and The Newsroom reaching their final seasons, two of HBO’s major programs will soon be off the cable network. This leaves a bit of a hole in their summer and fall line-up, but the series that is likely to grip the timeslot of those Emmy-winning programs is an upcoming untitled rock ‘n’ roll drama from producers Martin Scorsese, Boardwalk Empire scribe Terence Winter, Breaking Bad writer George Mastras and rock god Mick Jagger. That electrifying foursome has made the drama pilot one of the most anticipated in television history, and a cast is now starting to come together.
Today, rising star Juno Temple becomes the latest to join the ensemble of the untitled drama. The Killer Joe actress, who will appear in Maleficent and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For this summer, will play Jamie Vine. Deadline describes Vine as “an ambitious assistant in the...

The rock ‘n’ roll pilot currently being developed by Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger for HBO just moved a step closer to its early summer shooting slot, with the addition of Olivia Wilde to the cast list.
The House actress will join Bobby Cannavale (Boardwalk Empire, Nurse Jackie) in the as-yet-untitled project, in which he plays protagonist Richie Finestra. A record executive, Finestra works to revive his label by trying to find the next big thing amongst all the sex and drugs ubiquitous in 1970s New York. Wilde will play Devon Finestra, a former actress and current wife to Richie, who reassesses the direction of her life when the strain of her husband’s business decisions begin to wreak havoc within their family.

Though the series only just wrapped last fall, it’s clear “Breaking Bad” was a hall of fame show no matter your opinion on how it ended. All the great performances and moments would not have existed if the show, under the tutelage of creator and showrunner Vince Gilligan, didn’t have a supremely talented writing staff. A new video released over the weekend showcases the entire staff as they give a peak into their creative process for the cult hit. Recorded last December as part of The Writer’s Guild Foundation’s “Inside The Writer’s Room” series, the Glen Mazzara-hosted discussion that covers ground from Gilligan’s eureka moment when he first conceived the show all the way to the series’ final moments. All the writers are accounted for — Moira Walley-Beckett, Sam Catlin, Peter Gould, Thomas Schauz,Gennifer Hutchison and George Mastras — and with a nearly two hour running time,...

Spike Jonze’s philosophical sci-fi love story Her, and Billy Ray’s harrowing true-life hostage saga Captain Phillips earned best original and adapted screenplays, respectively, from the Writers Guild Awards on Saturday.
In the original category, Her was facing its four rivals for the Oscar: American Hustle, Blue Jasmine, Dallas Buyers Club, and Nebraska, so its victory can be seen as a strong harbinger of where the Academy Award could go on March 2. In anecdotal sampling of Academy members, EW’s Prize Fighter has also determined that Her is far and away the front-runner for this category.
