Though this is sort of sad news because it really makes the fact that Breaking Bad will be ending soon all the more real - we're still in the denial stage of our grief - this project does seem cool: According to Vulture, Jesse Pinkman, otherwise known as Aaron Paul, is in talks to star in a new HBO drama focusing on the cold war, called The Missionary. It's set in Berlin in the sixties, and follows a missionary who becomes a CIA operative. Sounds good, despite the fact that it's not Breaking Bad.

But hey, if said missionary then meets his old high school chemistry teacher who can be portrayed by, say, Bryan Cranston, even better. And they decide to make meth together, consider us sold. Just an idea, HBO.
