Albuquerque To Honor Breaking Bad In An Unexpected Way

Albuquerque, New Mexico, is set to honor "Breaking Bad" in a big way. According to IGN, statues of the series' central drug pushers will be unveiled outside the Albuquerque Convention Center on July 29, 2022. 

Per the report, the larger-than-life figures are being donated to the city by Sony Pictures in collaboration with Vince Gilligan, who wants to give back to the area as a thank you for accommodating his projects. "Over the course of fifteen years, two TV shows and one movie, Albuquerque has been wonderful to us. I wanted to return the favor and give something back," the "Breaking Bad" showrunner noted.

Gilligan went on to praise the artist and sculptor Trevor Grove for creating the statues, and he's looking forward to seeing them become a big part of the city's culture moving forward. "It makes me happy to picture them gracing The Duke City for decades to come, attracting busloads of tourists," he added.
