Before Bryan Cranston played Walter White, LBJ, or Dalton Trumbo, he spent seven seasons as the dad in Malcolm in the Middle, which was, in the world of Fox comedies, a minor masterpiece. What started as the show known for following The Simpsons on Sunday nights grew into a deeply enjoyable, award-winning sitcom that might, according to Cranston, become a movie.

While promoting his latest film, Why Him?, Cranston and his co-star James Franco, took questions from Reddit users as part of an Ask Me Anything. Among the questions was whether a Malcolm in the Middle movie is in the works.

"There has been some conversation about that," Cranston said. "I don't know if or when that could happen, I guess we have to gauge the temperament of the fans to see if its something they want. But maybe. It would be fun to play with all those people again."

In Malcolm in the Middle, which ran from 2000 to 2006, Cranston played the well-meaning if mostly hapless dad, Hal, alongside the show's star Frankie Muniz, who was Malcolm, and Jane Kaczmarek, who played Cranston's wife, Lois.

Cranston, as Entertainment Weekly pointed out, has previously discussed bringing Malcolm in the Middle to the big screen. "I sure hope so," Cranston said in June, according to E!, when asked about the possibility. "I really do, for no other reason than that I miss those people like crazy and I stay in touch with them. The boys are doing great and Jane [Kaczmarek] is doing wonderfully and I'd love to.

"There's a possibility we want to start talking about the possibility of putting together a story that makes sense about that family 10 years or 12 years later," he added.
