The same is true of other characters whose demise Jesse was witness to or had a hand in, including former lovers Jane (Krysten Ritter) and Andrea (Emily Rios), as well as former partners-turned-adversaries (and vice versa) Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) and Hank Schrader (Dean Norris).Īs for the characters left standing at the end of the series’ initial run, we can probably expect raspy voice slacker Badger (Matt L Jones) to show up, being that he and Skinny Pete are usually joined at the hip.
Walt, of course, was killed at the conclusion of Breaking Bad, so obviously he won’t be showing up alive, but there’s no reason to think he might not appear in a flashback, dream sequence or, given the role of narcotics in the overarching story, a possible hallucination. The specter of Walter White is certain to haunt the movie, though whether or not the character actually makes an appearance is anyone’s guess (Bryan Cranston has been conspicuously silent about any involvement he may have with the film). Jesse’s story has, from the beginning, been one of existential crisis, and there’s few better frameworks for exploring existential crises than a road movie. Given this state of affairs, we can expect El Camino to take the shape of a road/chase movie, (the film’s title and poster suggesting as much) in which Jesse attempts to outrun his demons both mortal and psychological. As Skinny Pete notes, Jesse’s story, like Heisenberg’s at the start of Breaking Bad’s final season, has been made public making it likely that criminal elements – including possibly the cartels – are also on the hunt for him, hoping either to make use of his meth cooking skills or to extract vengeance for any of his numerous criminal trespasses over the years. Per the synopsis and teaser, El Camino picks up from there (though we’ll no doubt be treated to one of Breaking Bad’s signature opening time jumps), with authorities searching for Jesse following the death of Walter White. After refusing to take vengeance on his former teacher/business partner/surrogate father/mortal enemy, Jesse drives off into the night in the titular El Camino, and the final shot we see of him has him first laughing, then screaming into the void as he hurtles down an empty stretch of road on his way to parts unknown. When last we saw Jesse Pinkman, he had just been freed from months of captivity and forced labor at the hands of a white supremacist drug syndicate by Walter White. Where might El Camino pick up and who else might return? Baker, who plays Jesse’s loyal but skeezy friend Skinny Pete, is front and center for the teaser trailer, which sees him refusing to help law enforcement agents in their search for Jesse. The movie is produced by Mark Johnson, Melissa Bernstein, Charles Newirth, Diane Mercer and Aaron Paul, in association with Sony Pictures Television.” Who’s in it and who’s behind it?Īs noted in the above synopsis, series creator Vince Gilligan is at the helm as writer and director, while co-lead actor Aaron Paul stars as everyone’s favorite long-suffering meth dealer, Jesse Pinkman.Īside from Paul, the only other series regular we know for sure is returning is actor Charles Baker, the only cast member other than Paul as of yet listed on the film’s official IMDB page.
This gripping thriller is written and directed by Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad. In the wake of his dramatic escape from captivity, Jesse must come to terms with his past in order to forge some kind of future. “ The Netflix Television Event EL CAMINO: A BREAKING BAD MOVIE reunites fans with Jesse Pinkman (Emmy-winner Aaron Paul). In the meantime, we have a brief official synopsis to go by:
