Bryan Cranston floats the idea of an ‘Office’ movie — and the role he’d want

Walter White is a fan of Michael Scott. 

An unlikely source has pitched the idea of a movie for “The Office”: Bryan Cranston. 

During an appearance on the “Office Ladies” podcast, hosted by two of the series stars, Jenna Fischer, 49 (who played Pam) and Angela Kinsey, 52 (who played Angela), the “Breaking Bad” star 67, floated the idea of a feature-length movie to catch up with the Dunder Mifflin team. 

“Let’s say that there’s not a reboot series, but what if there was a movie?” Cranston said.

“Something where we can see where these people are. These people in the entire cast that we’re curious about. We wondered at the end, where did they go? What did become of them?”

Kinsey was quick to agree. “I would do it. I would do it for my kids, ‘cause I think they would think that’s fun.”

The series finale saw her character, Angela, finally tie the knot with eccentric Dwight (Rainn Wilson), and also reveal that he was the father of her son. 

Meanwhile, the finale ends with Pam secretly putting their house on the market, to support Jim (John Krasinski) in his aspirations of working at his sports marketing company, based in Austin, TX.  

Fischer said she’d be game for a movie, but only if series creator Greg Daniels was involved. 

“Okay, as long as Greg is writing it and he’s in charge of it, then I say yes,” Fischer said. 

“The Office” ran for nine seasons on NBC from 2005-2013, and has been a phenomenon on streaming – despite the fact that it nearly got canceled in its first season. 

The book “Welcome to Dunder Mifflin: The Ultimate Oral History of ‘The Office’” by Brian Baumgartner (who played Kevin) and Ben Silverman, an executive producer, detailed how an NBC executive frequently came to the set to inform everyone that the current episode would be the end of the series. 

“He was like, ‘This will be the last one … It’s just not getting the ratings and the network doesn’t get it.’ He said that every week of the first season,’” Krasinski recalled in the book. 

Cranston directed the Season 9 episode, “Work Bus,” and the Emmy-winning “Breaking Bad” star said that he’d like to be in the movie in a minor role. 

“I just wanna be an extra in it,” he said. “I’d be like a crossing guard or something like that. I would be some guy.” 

No definitive reboot of “The Office” has been officially announced. But, in January, it was reported that Daniels was “inching closer” to getting the writers room back together for a new take on the hit comedy.

The show was originally based on a British series from Ricky Gervais, and there have also been international versions in countries such as Australia, India, Poland and Sweden.
