Breaking Bad: City of Albuquerque reveals bronze statues of Walt and Jesse

Sony Pictures and the City of Albuquerque unveiled the official bronze statues of Breaking Bad characters Walter White and Jesse Pinkman that have been gifted to The Duke City by series creator Vince Gilligan.

Photos from the ceremony where the statues were revealed have been released online courtesy of Sony Pictures entertainment.

The sculptures were created by artist Trevor Grove and cast by American Fine Arts Foundry, with Gilligan himself commissioning their creation back in 2019, Comicbook reports.

Gilligan elected to create and give the statues to Albuquerque as a thank you for being the home of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul's cast and crew for over a decade.

According to the Albuquerque Journal, The Mayor's Office of the city revealed to KOAT news that upwards of $385 million in economic impact came to New Mexico as a result of filming on Breaking Bad and spinoff/prequel series Better Call Saul.

Cranston and Paul will reprise their Breaking Bad roles in an upcoming episode of Better Call Saul. The statues of their characters can be seen at the Albuquerque Convention Center.
