That Colombian remake of Breaking Bad, Metastasis, gets a new trailer

10 June 2014 Rob Buckley Post a comment

You may remember I mentioned that Colombia – not exactly a country without its fair share of drug dealers – is remaking Breaking Bad as Metastasis. Well, now said remake has got a new trailer so that you can see just how different or similar it’s going to be. I’m also curious about the cultural differences and whether there’ll be different connotations to someone becoming a drug dealer in Colombia, versus in the US. Anyone want to chime in on that?
