Sony Pictures just unveiled the first photo from "Metastasis," the upcoming remake of the "Breaking Bad" TV series targeted at Latin American audiences. And now we have a trailer for the new show. Watch it below. "Metastasis" follows the story of an unassuming chemistry teacher who is given a fatal diagnosis and enters a world of drugs and crime, where he ascends to power. The cast includes Diego Trujillo (El Capo) as Walter Blanco; Roberto Urbina (Che: Part 1) as Walter's accomplice, Jose Miguel Rosas; Sandra Reyes (El Cartel) as Walter's wife, Cielo; and Julian Arango (El Cartel) as Walter's brother-in-law and Colombian narcotics agent, Henry Navarro. The plan has been to copy the original series. In fact, "Breaking Bad" producer Vince Gilligan has been hire dto guide the Spanish-language version. Trailer:...

With a surprising number of U.S. network and cable shows being remakes of foreign language hits, it's only fair that the reverse takes place.

The first trailer is online for Univision's "Metastasis," the upcoming Spanish-language remake of AMC's acclaimed "Breaking Bad" series which is set in Colombia.

Otherwise though, it's fairly faithful to the storyline with only a couple of changes (the motor home becomes a school bus).

Diego Trujillo plays Walter Blanco, a chemistry teacher-turned-meth cook. Roberto Urbina, Julian Arango and Sandra Reyes also star in the Jesse, Hank and Skyler roles respectively.

Feeling a void in your life now that "Breaking Bad" is over? Do you have a serviceable knowledge of Spanish? Well, you can get set to go down the meth drama road all over again as "Breaking Bad" is back, kind of, with a Spanish-language remake, though it may prove that copies are never as good as the original. Entitled "Metastasis," the Colombian show has Diego Trujillo in the the role of Walter Blanco (ha), the chemistry teacher who breaks bad. Jesse (Jose, played by Roberto Urbina), Skyler (Cielo, played by Sandra Reyes) and Hank (Henry, played by Julian Arango) are all here too, but one thing that isn't? An Rv. "Motor homes are not popular in Colombia," Angelica Guerra, Sony's Senior VP and managing director of production for Latin America and the U.S. Hispanic market said. "So audiences will see Walter and Jose cooking up their first several...

Back in May, Sony Pictures announced that it was remaking "Breaking Bad" TV series for Latin American audiences, stating that the show is incredibly popular in the Us, but unknown in many other countries. The name of the show will be "Metastasis" and will actually copy the original series. In fact, "Breaking Bad" producer Vince Gilligan has been hired to guide the Spanish-language version. To get an idea of how similar it will be, click on the image below to see the first photo from "Metastasis," which looks a lot like some promotional material for the first season of "Breaking Bad." "Metastasis" follows the story of an unassuming chemistry teacher who is given a fatal diagnosis and enters a world of drugs and crime, where he ascends to power. The cast includes Diego Trujillo (El Capo) as Walter Blanco; Roberto Urbina (Che: Part 1) as Walter's accomplice, Jose Miguel Rosas; Sandra Reyes...

It’s par for the course in the high stakes world of television that if an idea is successful, it will be replicated across other countries and cultures. The Us version of The Office is probably the most visible of these, being originally based on the eponymous UK sitcom created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the former taking the lead role.

It’s happened, to a greater or lesser extent, with tonnes of other shows – Spaced (UK) was turned into an unsuccessful Us pilot, as was Coupling (UK) and The Thick of It (UK) – the last of those being reformatted by creator Armando Iannucci into the American critical darling and extremely funny show Veep, airing on HBO and starring Julia Louis-Dreyfuss.

It may be common for sitcoms, but it also happens in other genres of television. Homeland is based on an Israeli TV show called Hatufim (Prisoners of War,...

A "Breaking Bad" remake is officially coming to Unvision. Sony Pictures Television and Teleset will produce "Metástasis," a Spanish-language remake of the popular AMC drama.

“Critics and audiences love ‘Breaking Bad’ and its original take on the drug dealing business,” Angelica Guerra, senior vice president and managing director, production, Latin America and Us Hispanic for Sony Pictures Television, said in a statement. “It is a very relevant story for all audiences, produced with the highest standards, in spectacular locations with the best talent in the region.”

Diego Trujillo will play Walter Blanco, Robert Urbina will play his accomplice Jose Miguel Rosas, Sandra Reyes as Walter's wife Cielo and Julian Arango as Walter's brother-in-law Colombian narcotics agent Henry Navarro.

“‘Metástasis’ is masterfully complex and irresistibly compelling. We are sure the show can bring the audiences and acclaim garnered by the U.S. series to broadcasters in Latin America,” Alex Marin, senior...

Univision jumped the gun on Friday when it announced during its upfront presentation that it has greenlighted a Spanish language adaptation of Breaking Bad — before there was a deal with series producer Sony Pictures Television. Now Sony TV is moving forward with the project, Metastasis, which the studio will co-produce with Teleset for Latin American audiences. The show has been cleared in most major Spanish speaking markets including Univision’s UniMas in the U.S.. Metástasis follows the story of an unassuming chemistry teacher who is given a fatal diagnosis and enters a world of drugs and crime, where he ascends to power. The cast includes Diego Trujillo as Walter Blanco; Roberto Urbina as Walter’s accomplice, Jose Miguel Rosas; Sandra Reyes as Walter’s wife, Cielo; and Julián Arango as Walter’s brother-in-law and Colombian narcotics agent, Henry Navarro.
