Bryan Cranston und Aaron Paul: Agavenschnaps statt "Breaking Bad"-Film

Was für eine Enttäuschung für die Fans: Bryan Cranston (63, "Malcolm mittendrin") und Aaron Paul (39, "Need for Speed") haben vorerst doch kein gemeinsames Film-Comeback. Statt eines gemeinsamen Auftritts der beiden "Breaking Bad"-Stars in der angekündigten Spielfilm-Fortsetzung zur Kult-Serie, bringen die beiden Emmy-Preisträger nun einen gemeinsamen Agavenschnaps heraus.

Three years ago we sat in a sushi bar in New York. Talking about life and what we could possibly do down the road together. We had the time of our lives while shooting Breaking Bad and truly built a very special bond. Knowing that we couldn’t share the screen for quite a while - our thoughts turned to a new project. We sipped cocktails and thought about what it should be. The younger one looked at his drink and said, you know what we should do? We should do a really special Mezcal. The older one said, you mean the liquor with a worm at the bottom? Nah, that was just some bullshit gimmick, I mean real, artesanal Mezcal made by hand in Mexico. After that dinner we couldn’t get the idea out of our heads. So, we started traveling to Oaxaca to see if we could find it, and we mean it had to be “it,” something so damn good even people who don’t think they like Mezcal will love it. It had to be perfect or we weren’t going to do it. We searched high and low all over Oaxaca, met incredible people along the way and after a beautiful yet grueling search throughout that majestic landscape we believed we may have found our place. Our Mezcal. It was on a dirt-road, in a tiny village, hours away from the center of town, we found it and it was perfect. Holy shit it was perfect. We looked at each other and just simply nodded. This is it. We named it Dos Hombres - two guys on a quest. It’s been a long and crazy journey and we couldn’t be happier to share this with you and the rest of the world. We are crazy about the taste, the aroma, and the versatility of this smokey, age-old alcohol. Try it, and let us know what you think. We are certain you will love it. Well, that’s our story.

Wie die beiden auf Instagram schrieben, war ihnen vor drei Jahren beim Dreh der Serie die Idee dazu gekommen. Der selbst gemachte Mezcal soll "Dos Hombres" ("Zwei Männer") heißen. Fans kommentierten die Neuigkeit mit Bestürzung: "Das ist die enttäuschendste Nachricht, die ich je gehört habe", schrieb ein Follower.

Ende Juni hatten die beiden Schauspieler dasselbe Foto eines Maulesels in der Wüste getwittert, versehen mit der Ankündigung "Bald". US-Medien hatten dies als Zeichen für eine gemeinsame Fortsetzung der Drogen-Story gewertet. Die findet aber offenbar ohne Cranston statt. Laut dem "Hollywood Reporter" soll sich die Geschichte um Jesse Pinkman (gespielt von Aaron Paul) drehen, der rechten Hand von Drogenboss Walter White.
