When and where are they casting?

They're filming in ABQ so I assume there. And probably right now. They're trying to get it on TV by this time next year.

Sorta shaky on this show, saul & mike were excellent characters but are their stories really exciting enough to hold their own?

Saul and Mike have all sorts of history that led them up to meeting Walt.
they were on Walt's level and i would like to see how they got to that point.

i'm all for this show.

Mike was a beat cop in Philly during the 90s when the shyt was a war zone. So he was thoro long before he ever met Gus. Hopefully we get a flash back.

"Better Call Saul" could feature some scenes after the end of "Breaking Bad"!

They start writing the series in 2-3 weeks.

New IGN interview with Bob Odenkirk. He says it could be a prequel/sequel hybrid, showing Saul in Nebraska (where he went in "Granite State") as well as before he met Walt and Jesse.

IGN: Now we know that another character of yours ends up in Nebraska - Mr. Saul Goodman. We’ve all been speculating about the series, and I was wondering if you thought it would be interesting if, within this prequel, there were some flash-forwards to where Saul is post-Breaking Bad on the lam in Nebraska – that life?

Bob Odenkirk: Well, I’ve talked to Vince (Gilligan) and Peter (Gould), who are writing and creating the series, about this and I’ve said that a lot of people do want to see what happens to next to Saul. So, I don’t know what they’re going to do. I know they’ve talked about prequel, but they’ve also talked to me about sequel, and they’ve also talked to me about a mix of prequel and sequel.

IGN: That would be absolutely fascinating, because I’m sure you guys have talked about the mix being seeing him in Nebraska and then seeing him before he became this character of “Saul Goodman” – and why.

Odenkirk: Yeah, yeah.

IGN: Is that something you guys have already talked about, how your character became “Saul Goodman” – did you talk about that during Breaking Bad?

Odenkirk: We didn’t talk about it. Vince has thought about it. Vince and Peter have thought about it a lot and they’re curious about it.

IGN: I know this wouldn’t necessarily match what happens in the series, but did you, for just your own purposes as an actor, create a backstory for Saul?

Odenkirk: Yeah, I wouldn’t go into too much detail, because I don’t want to influence Vince at all in his efforts. I’m approaching this the way I approached Breaking Bad, which is, ‘Vince, you write it and then you hand it to me and I will figure out my part.’ And I will not try to own the universe, or tell you what happens, or dictate anything. I will do the job of an actor, which is take the script, study it, think about it, feel it and ask myself, ‘Who is this person is and how do I be him?’ It’s been incredibly freeing to do that. You know my resume. You know I’ve directed, produced, and written. And when you do all of those things, acting is a lot less fun and you have a lot less energy and focus as an actor because you’re thinking of all the things revolving around the character, rather than just playing the role.

IGN: When will you know the exact direction they’re taking for the series? When will you start to get the first scripts?

Odenkirk: Well, supposedly the writers are starting up in two or three weeks, so they’re trying to get that ready.

IGN: It’s been said that Better Call Saul will be more of a 70% comedy, 30% drama mix, which is sort of the reverse formula of Breaking Bad. Is that exciting for you?

Odenkirk: I don’t think that’s what it’s going to be. It’s going to be 70% drama and 30% comedy.

IGN: One of the interesting things that Joss Whedon said when he was talking about developing Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was that he wanted to be sparing about how often they brought in characters from the Marvel cinematic universe, because he didn’t want the show to be about when the viewer got to see the next cameo. He wanted it to be its own entity. I know that Vince Gilligan has said there may be some Breaking Bad cameos in Better Call Saul, but it feels like a similar situation where you want to be kind of sparing with it, so that this show can have its own life.

Odenkirk: Oh my God, I told Peter and Vince, right away I said, ‘Look man, let us make this fresh for everyone.’ So that right away, in the first five minutes, every viewer goes, ‘Oh, this isn’t Breaking Bad, this is its own thing.’ And I think they feel the same exact way. There might be a cameo here or there, but I don’t know. We’re going to do a new show.

If anyone can pull off some shyt like that is Vince

But they have to be careful they don't want viewers thinking it's a new breaking bad. They might have to play it safe the first season and make it all about Saul and very few cameos of main breaking bad characters if any at all.

I'm hoping Saul really manages a Cinnabon. That would be funny as hell. Sitting there like thinking about his life, then the flashbacks prior to Jesse/Walt start and that's the whole season. All about Saul.

The thing I'm most excited about is them showing a few scenes after "BB". I don't need much, but if Saul was sitting there watching the news report about the bloodbath in ABQ, and Walt's death, that would be ill. "Jesse Pinkman is still at large", etc.

Then Jesse stops by the Cinnabon as the last scene of season 1. People would lose their minds.

Jesse bringing an older Brock with him to try and get some revenge for the poisoning. Little does he know Huell and Bill Burr made it to Nebraska also.
