New interview with Vince Gilligan in The Hollywood Reporter:
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/breaking-bads-vince-gilligan-reveals-648425
I'll summarize it:
1. The writing team will be as many people as they can get from "BB", with the exception of writers like Moira Walley-Beckett ("Ozymandias") that is starting her own show.
2. It'll most likely air August/October 2014.
3. Mike will most likely be a major character.
4. It could potentially feature small cameos from every major "BB" character. "Anyone who died is obviously still alive in a prequel" is what he said.
5. This isn't related to the prequel, but FX asked Vince Gilligan to direct the first episode of "Tyrant", a new show by Gideon Raff, the creator of the Israeli series the first season of "Homeland" is based on.
Fred.
