One of the most famous series on television has been breaking badthis is due to the story and characters that captivated the audience a few weeks after its premiere on Netflix. And to demonstrate the loyalty that Albuquerque has towards the franchise, they have decided to forge a statue of Walter White Y Jesse Pinkman as a tribute, or more the writer of the series.
According to a press release, the statues were originally commissioned from the sculptor Trevor Grove in 2019 by series creator Vince Gilliganwho is donating the statues to the city along with Sony Pictures Television. A decision that could be a bit strange in terms of budget, but that at the end of the day has already been commissioned.
This is what he commented Gilligan:
Over the course of fifteen years, two TV shows and a movie, Albuquerque has been wonderful to us. I wanted to return the favor and give something back. These huge bronzes of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman exist through the generosity of Sony Pictures Television and the art of sculptor Trevor Grove, and I love them. It makes me happy to imagine them gracing The Duke City for decades to come, attracting busloads of tourists.
The statues will be displayed inside the Albuquerque Convention Center after being revealed July 29. The opening ceremony will include the mayor Keller, Gilliganthe executive producer and co-creator of Better Call Saul, Peter Gouldand the award-winning actors Emmy, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul.
Remember that breaking bad Is available in Netflix.
