Well, the answer is very simple: Bryan was involved in this production as he directed it Work busthe fourth episode of the ninth and final season, so you know what you’re talking about. Below we leave you a small part of the chapter in case you don’t remember it.
Bryan Cranston revealed his plan for… a ‘The Office’ movie?
It turns out that Bryan Cranston was a guest on the podcast Office ladiesmoderated by Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey (who played Pam Beesly and Angela Martin in the American version of The office). And there, between the conversation, The 67-year-old actor pitched them the idea of a story for a film based on this popular series..
“Let’s say there’s no reboot series, but what if there was a movie? Something where we can see where these people are. We’re curious about these people in the cast. We end up wondering: Where did they go? What happened to you?”, Bryan mentioned to Angela and Jenna.
After listening to Bryan Cranston’s suggestion, Jenna Fischer said she would commit to returning in a film adaptation of The officeas long as Greg Daniels –the showrunner of the American version– was involved, “because (then) I would trust her. Knowledge? As long as Greg writes it and is in charge, I say yes.”
On his part Angela Kinsey added: “I would do it for my kids because I think they would think it was fun.” And although Cranston gave them this idea that he had in his head. He is very clear that if it comes true, he doesn’t want to star in the project as he would rather make a cameo appearance: “I just want to be an extra. I would be a boy, I would be a border guard or something like that. Just something.”
It seems that the idea of reboot is more real than a movie
Although Bryan Cranston’s suggestion sounds great, The reality is that everything points to that instead of a movie Yes, the restart will take place from The office as a series. We say this because at the end of 2023 the Greg Daniels stated that he was not interested in a “reboot” in the traditional senseas he is more interested in telling a different story within the same universe.
And yes, that’s what that means The series’ original characters could likely appear in a cameo, but would not be the focus of the project: “I feel like we brought this story to a wonderful conclusion. The characters had closure. “I would never want to remake the same show with a different cast because I think we have the luckiest cast, the best cast on television, to do this show.”.
Actually, Greg Daniels’ plan for the reboot focuses more on telling a new story in the world of The office: “The idea of a reboot (as we are used to) is not of interest (…) Maybe something like ‘The Mandalorian’ is a new series in the Star Wars universe, you know what I mean? Kind of like the idea of this documentary film crew making a documentary on a different topic.”
How are you doing? Do you have any idea to see the remake of this popular or better known sitcom? Whatever the case, we’re sure we’ll all see it because we really miss the hours we spent laughing and crying with Michael Scott and all the Dunder Mifflin characters.
