Emmy nominated “Breaking Bad” star Aaron Paul will spearhead Michael Burke’s indie-drama “Right Angle” which is being produced by Gary Gilbert and Jordan Horowitz, the team behind Lisa Chodolenko’s “The Kids Are All Right.”
Scripted by Burke and Mike Young, the story is based on the diaries of real life character Adam Niskar and follows a hard-drinking, promiscuous salesman who becomes a quadriplegic after a tragic accident and struggles to come to terms with his predicament and with his future.
Sounds like a great role for Paul to tackle in what will mark one of his biggest roles since breaking out with the popular AMC series. Paul and co-star Bryan Cranston have been absolute tour-de-forces on the first three seasons of Breaking Bad” with both now starting to find success in Hollywood — Cranston is set to feature in the likes of Tom Hanks’ “Larry Crowne,” Andrew Stanton’s “John Carter Of Mars” and Nicholas Winding Refn’s “Drive.” Paul will no doubt be following suit with a number of interesting projects as well.
