Aaron Paul is set to return as Jesse Pinkman in a feature length movie set after the dramatic ending of Breaking Bad.
The Hollywood Reporter first reported the news and also says that Netflix will screen the film first and then it will air on US network AMC, a reverse of how Breaking Bad was first shown.
Representatives for AMC, Netflix and producers Sony Pictures TV all declined to comment.
Vince Gilligan will write and executive produce the project with collaborators Mark Johnson and Melissa Bernstein.
The Hollywood Reporter also says that Gilligan will direct the film, which will follow the escape of a kidnapped man (Pinkman) and his fight for freedom.
Speaking on The Dan Patrick Show, Bryan Cranston (who starred as chemistry teacher turned drugs kingpin Walter White in Breaking Bad) confirmed the Breaking Bad movie is being made. He said he did not know if he would return as Walter White but said he would "absolutely" appear in the movie if Gilligan requested him.
"It's a great story and there are a lot of people who felt that they wanted to see some kind of completion to some of these storylines that were left open [in the series finale]," Cranston said.
"This idea, from what I'm told, gets into those - at least a couple of the character stories were not completed, as far as their journey."
"I don't know if there's an appearance - flashbacks, flash forwards - but I'm excited about it because it's Breaking Bad and it was the greatest professional period of my life and I can't wait to see all those people again, even if I just come by to visit," he added.
Breaking Bad prequel Better Call Saul has been renewed for a fifth season and is due to air this year.
