BetterCallSaul writer-director Thomas Schnauz explains why the show did not digitally de-age Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul in their big return: 'There’s only so much you can do before it starts looking ridiculous.'
Better Call Saul writer-director explains why the show elected not to digitally de-age Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul. All suspense about Walter White and Jesse Pinkman appearing in the final season of AMC’s Breaking Bad spinoff was shut down back in April when it was confirmed that the pair would indeed drop in at some point. Fans then just had to wait for the two principal Breaking Bad characters to finally make their anticipated appearance.
Better Call Saul as it turned out would make fans wait quite awhile to finally see Pinkman and White again. But the moment at last arrived in last night’s episode “Breaking Bad,” which revisited Walt and Jesse’s first meeting with Saul Goodman, shifting the perspective to see things from Saul’s side.
There’s only so much you can do before it starts looking ridiculous. We don’t do a ton of de-aging on the show. There’s a little bit of stuff on the guys’ faces to take a few lines out here and there, but other than that, Aaron is not going to look like an 18-year-old kid or however old Jesse was during this time period.
The question of whether Better Call Saul should do more to de-age its characters for the sake of timeline consistency has of course been brought up many times over the course of its six seasons. Schnauz indeed has addressed the issue himself on a prior occasion, telling fans on Twitter awhile back that the expense of de-aging has a lot to do with why the show doesn’t go down that road.
It’s of course up to each individual viewer to decide whether they’re able to suspend disbelief when it comes to discrepancies between the ages of actors and the characters they’re playing. It’s arguable that someone like Paul, who looks very different today than he did when he played Pinkman on Breaking Bad, is hard to accept as a much younger character.
