It's been several years since the finale to Breaking Bad aired, and even now the series is regarded as one of the best TV series of all time.
Since then, we've had a spin-off hit our screens in the form of Better Call Saul, which shows how Irish conman Slippin' Jimmy McGill became Heisenberg's consigliere. But now a new movie, entitled ''El Camino'', is about to drop on Netflix, which will allegedly show what happened to Walter's partner-in-crime, Jessie Pinkman, after his escape from a vicious gang of Neo-Nazis.
Watch the trailer for El Camino in the video below:

The movie is due to air on the streaming service on October 11, and it's just had its premiere. The early reviews have been pretty favourable, with critics lavishing praise on Aaron Paul's performance.
But for Breaking Bad fans, an even more emotional experience was getting to see the cast of the original show reunite after so long. Several members of the old team, including series creator Vince Gilligan, joined forces on the red carpet in Los Angeles to see Jessie's story play out on the big screen.

In attendance at the premiere were actors Aaron Paul (Jessie Pinkman), Bryan Cranston (Walter White), Dean Norris (Hank Schrader) Jonathan Banks (Mike Ehrmantraut) Krysten Ritter (Jane Margolis), Giancarlo Esposito (Gus Fring), Jesse Plemons (Todd Alquist) Matt Jones (Badger) and Matt Jones (Skinny Pete). Other celebrities included Mark Hamill and Kirsten Dunst, the partner of Jesse Plemons.

There's also been some speculation about whether or not Walter White will appear in the movie. Cranston himself has reiterated that he would be happy to reprise the role of White, even if it was only in the form of a movie.
Per NME, the Emmy-award-winner stated: "There’s a question of whether we’d even see Walter White in this movie. If Vince Gilligan asked me to do it, sure, absolutely. He’s a genius. It’s a great story, and there’s a lot of people who felt that they wanted to see some sort of completion to some of these storylines that were left open."
Check out this teaser for El Camino, featuring Skinny Pete:

Netflix has given viewers a first look at Aaron Paul reprising his role as Jesse Pinkman in the upcoming film, El Camino: a Breaking Bad Movie, after announcing the film in August.
The trailer was first shown during a commercial break at last night’s Emmys and now the streaming giant has officially released it online.
Take a look at the teaser trailer for El Camino: a Breaking Bad Movie, written and directed by Vince Gilligan, creator of the show:
[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/hirRXUxo-Q0L14jDU.mp4||hirRXUxo]]
"In the wake of his dramatic escape from captivity, Jesse Pinkman must come to terms with his past in order to forge some kind of future," the film's logline reads.
And in the trailer, we see the character (who is on the run following events which occurred in the series finale) listening to a report of Walter White's massacre in his El Camino. Nine are named dead in the report, but White isn't specifically mentioned, despite being the focus of a nationwide manhunt.
Bryan Cranston starred as the seemingly deceased chemistry teacher-turned-meth-manufacturer in the series. Fans of the beloved crime drama are eager to find out whether White, the show's protagonist, is somehow still alive, despite what the finale led us to believe.
Needless to say, since being posted online, the trailer has garnered an excited response from fans of the critically acclaimed series:
"This is tight, tight, tight!" one fan wrote. "Cannot wait to see what will happen to Jesse."
"So after the #ElCamino trailer how many people are going back and counting exactly how many people died in the final scene of Breaking Bad?" added another.

The award-winning series, which came to an end back in 2013, was widely considered one of the greatest shows in the history of television, and so the making of a movie was a no-brainer.
El Camino is produced by Mark Johnson, Melissa Bernstein, Charles Newirth, Diane Mercer and Aaron Paul, in association with Sony Pictures Television.
It is set for release on October 11 on Netflix and in select theatres.

Two days ago, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk revealed that the much-anticipated Breaking Bad movie had finished filming and would soon be making its way onto our screens.
In an interview with Movie Web regarding the upcoming season of spin-off Better Call Saul, the conversation inevitably turned the confidential movie. And although Odenkirk was careful not to give too much away, he did confirm that it had wrapped:
"I don't know what people know and don't know. I find it hard to believe you don't know it was shot. They did it. You know what I mean? How is that a secret? But it is. They've done an amazing job of keeping it a secret."
Everything about the movie was shrouded in secrecy - the title, plot, returning cast members - but thankfully, Netflix has the first look at the Breaking Bad movie - titled El Camino (translated to 'The Way' in English) - in the form of a new teaser trailer.
Check out the amazing trailer below, and see if you can spot some familiar faces:
[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/0MVSyn4p-Q0L14jDU.mp4||0MVSyn4p]]
As you can see from the trailer, Charles Baker returns as Jesse's loyal friend Skinny Pete, as he is interrogated by the authorities over Pinkman's whereabouts. Pete says he doesn’t know where he is; but if he did, he wouldn’t tell them, as he references the cage Jesse was kept in by the Aryan Brotherhood in the final season.
Therefore, we can presume that this movie is indeed going to be a sequel to the show, detailing what happened to Jesse's after his dramatic escape from the Brotherhood.
(Eagle-eyed fans will also spot pictures of detective Hank Schrader and Steven Gomez hanging on a wall. Ah, I'm trying so hard not to cry just remembering that episode...)
However, actor Aaron Paul has been very tight-lipped about the plot of the movie, but in an interview with The New York Times, he expressed his delight over its eventual creation. Paul said:
"It’s a chapter of Breaking Bad that I didn’t realize that I wanted, and now that I have it, I’m so happy that it’s there."
[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/seewhatsnext/status/1165393666875088896]]
The Emmy award winner also revealed his first reaction after reading the 'El Camino' script:
"I couldn’t speak for a good 30, 60 seconds. I was just lost in my thoughts. As the guy who played the guy, I was so happy that Vince wanted to take me on this journey."
Paul has spent months trolling Breaking Bad fans perfectly on Twitter, along with co-star Bryan Cranston:

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/aaronpaul_8/status/1146101798211473409]]
It has not been revealed yet whether or not Cranston will be returning to reprise his role as Mr White (remember, the show only ended with an officer checking his pulse), but that final tweet certainly looks like both stars are trying to find 'the way' out of something.
Fans first became excited about a potential movie back in November of last year, when The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan had signed a two year deal with Sony Pictures Television to create a two-hour spin-off movie.

Last month, Netflix announced the news every blue meth fan had been waiting for. On August 24, the streaming service dropped new promotional material for a Breaking Bad spin-off movie titled 'El Camino' (Spanish for 'The Way').
Along with a tweet reading "What happened to Jesse Pinkman?" and a promotional poster, fans were overjoyed to be gifted with a teaser trailer, starring Breaking Bad star Charles Baker.
Check out the trailer for the highly-anticipated movie below:
[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/0MVSyn4p-Q0L14jDU.mp4||0MVSyn4p]]
As you can see, Baker reprised his role as the Jesse Pinkman's loyal friend Skinny Pete, and can be seen being interrogated by authorities over the whereabouts of Pinkman. Pete says he doesn’t know where Jesse is; but if he did, he wouldn’t tell them, going on to reference the cage Jesse was kept in by the Aryan Brotherhood in the final season.
(Eagle-eyed fans will also spot pictures of both Hank Shrader and Steve Gomez hanging on the wall at the start. My heart...)
[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/seewhatsnext/status/1165393666875088896]]
So it's pretty much confirmed that this movie is going to be all about what happened to Jesse following his escape from the Brotherhood. The last time we saw Jesse he was driving through the gates of their compound in an emotional bid for freedom after months of torment, thanks to a rescue mission from his old chemistry teacher Mr. White.

You'll also recall that the last time we saw Walt he lay dying on the floor of a meth lab - killed by the criminal life that had given him so much to live for... But did he die? The show never confirmed this, as the last thing we see is a police officer taking his pulse as Badfinger's 'Baby Blue' played us out.
Well, now new pictures from the Better Call Saul Instagram fan account All About Saul, hint that we may be seeing actor Bryan Cranston returning to our screens to play drug lord Heisenberg once again.
Check out the one Breaking Bad scene Aaron Paul says everybody needs to watch before seeing El Camino:
[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/Ae0KqNcH-dkXnENEs.mp4||Ae0KqNcH]]
As you can see from the image below, Walt and Jesse's iconic mobile meth lab can be seen onset of the production.
Fans will remember that the RV was destroyed back in season three following an incredibly close call with ASAC Schrader. This suggests that the beige 1986 Fleetwood Bounder will feature as part of a flashback sequence, which fans think could mean Cranston will be reprising his role as Walter White.

Another series of images also hinted at a new location called The Owl Cafe.
And another picture shows the duplex where Jane and Jesse lived happily... before Walt watched her choke on her vomit - could this be yet another potential flashback scene?

(Bonus Fact: This dedicated Instagram fan also states that the car Jesse escape the Brotherhood's compound in was indeed Todd's 1978 Chevrolet El Camino - so I guess we know how the movie got its name!)

With news of the movie finally made public, Paul took the opportunity to tweet his 2.7 million Twitter followers, pointing them in the direction of a scene he believes every fan should watch again in order to fully prepare for 'El Camino'.
Along with the scene, Paul said: "Cats out of the bag...and the bag is in the river. Here’s a moment from Breaking Bad to slowly prepare you all for what’s to come"
Check out the powerful scene below - does this hint at things to come?
[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/Ae0KqNcH-dkXnENEs.mp4||Ae0KqNcH]]
In the scene, Walt can be seen trying to get Jesse to once again cook with him as a part of Gus Fring's empire. However, after being beaten, arrested, and losing his family and girlfriend, Jesse cracks with a powerful speech about how he has never been more alone since joining his former chemistry teacher.
Further details and plot points surrounding the movie have yet to be revealed, however, many fans still believe Bryan Cranston will be returning to reprise his role as Mr White.
If you cast your minds back to the final scene of the final episode, it is only strongly implied that Walt had been fatally shot, although it is never confirmed. The show ends with a police officer checking Walt's pulse, as Badfinger's 'Baby Blue' played us out for what we thought was the final time.

**This article contains NO spoilers for El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie**
The time has finally come. Despite coming to what we all thought was an end in 2013, fans of Vince Gilligan's Breaking Bad will finally have their six-year comedown end, as El: Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie is finally available to stream on Netflix RIGHT NOW.
The show, which debuted on January 20, 2008 and ran for five seasons, followed the story of a terminally ill chemistry teacher by the name of Walter White, who turns to cooking meth with his former high school student, Jesse Pinkman, as a means of ensuring his family is financially stable following his death.
The intense show caused fans to endlessly binge episodes, attempt to push it on their mates, and not shut up about how good it was - ironically, it was as addictive as White and Pinkman's meth.
In case you haven't seen it already, here is the incredible trailer for El Camino:
[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/oVStyGPM-Q0L14jDU.mp4||oVStyGPM]]
The original show ended with Jesse Pinkman finally breaking free of The Brotherhood's compound, thanks to a deadly rescue mission by White. The finale ended with Walter lying on the floor of a methlab, seemingly succumbing to a lethal gunshot wound as police stormed the lab.
The movie will follow the emotionally and physically tortured Pinkman, as he attempts to outrun his past and the law, and attempt to forge some sort of future for himself.
No information was ever officially released stating that Heisenberg actor Bryan Cranston would be reprising his role for the movie, but I guess now is the perfect opportunity to go and find out if he survived his raid on the Nazis, or perhaps appears as part of a flashback.
If you haven't gone back and rewatched all five seasons of the Emmy award-winning Breaking Bad, fear not - this two-and-a-half-minute recap by Aaron Paul himself is seriously all you need:
[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/VWxtXcx2-Q0L14jDU.mp4||VWxtXcx2]]
And despite being live for approximately one hour, as of this writing, fans all over the world are already engrossed in the highly-anticipated sequel:
