Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

Ron Howard’s film adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower<\/em> <\/strong>saga is moving ahead slowly but surely, and Breaking Bad<\/em><\/strong>‘s Aaron Paul has revealed that he has been taking meetings with Howard to discuss playing heroin addict gunslinger Eddie Dean.<\/p>\n

AICN<\/a> talked to Paul at the Sundance premiere of his new film Hellion<\/em><\/strong>, and the former Jesse Pinkman responded positively to discussion of King’s epic.<\/p>\n

“I’ve had a ton of meetings on that. I just had a general sit down with Ron Howard, who is a huge fan of the show (Breaking Bad<\/em><\/strong>, naturally), which is such a crazy thing to even think that Ron Howard even knows who I am. They’re definitely planning on making it.”<\/p>\n

“I’m excited. Their goal is to do three films, but also have a television element to it, which will be very interesting. From what I hear, Eddie Dean is a pretty epic, iconic character.”<\/p>\n

When urged not to turn the part down if and when he’s offered it, Paul replied “Definitely will not!”<\/p>\n
