And sure enough, in the movie’s final act there’s a lengthy flashback to a pivotal conversation between Jesse and his onetime mentor, which takes place at a very specific point in the Breaking Bad timeline.

Though the series finale ended in Walt’s death – after he’d earned a sliver of redemption by saving Jesse – it was hard to imagine Vince Gilligan wouldn’t find a way to bring back his iconic antihero for at least a cameo.

He’s a grown man, and older and wiser, and he’s going to go off and hopefully finally have the life that he deserves.Įl Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie is currently streaming on Netflix. He’s no longer in the next scene Jesse Pinkman he’s someone named Mr. It’s his silent reaction of, “Oh my God, you think this is greatness?” And that leads us into the final scene of him becoming a different person.
Aaron’s reaction to the line is really what buttons the scene and what makes it what it is. It’s a sad moment because if Walter White thinks this is the greatest thing he’s ever done, what kind of life has he led? And really, it allows for this wonderful reaction on Jesse’s part, and Aaron plays it beautifully. More than anything, it gives us this glimpse into Walter White’s mind. It’s kind of a compliment, but it’s a twisted one at that. What does he learn here in this scene that helps him along on that journey?" It’s about him growing up and becoming an adult. It’s allowing the fans to see Walt and Jesse together again." Luckily for all of us, Bernstein implored Gilligan to dig deeper, asking him, "How does it relate back to the larger movie? What does Jesse learn from it? Because in my mind, this movie is about Jesse transforming from a boy to a man. His original goal was simple: "The point of the scene is it’s a little thank-you to the fans.

When it came to the matter of "what will two of the most iconic TV characters talk about?", Gilligan turned to Breaking Bad producer Melissa Bernstein for guidance. It’s a lot of fun!” It was amazing the amount of logistics, and blood, sweat, and tears that went into keeping this thing secret. “What are you doing?” “Aw, we’re just shooting a commercial for the tour. And the gentleman who owns the tour company was game and helped us keep the secret and let us borrow his RV, and we were handing out brochures for his organization to any curious onlookers who happened by. And by the way, we were using the RV that you can tour Albuquerque in. People are driving by and they’re seeing the RV with the bullet holes in the door and they’re saying, “Oh, my God, what is that?” And so Nathan, one of our, came up with this idea to tell people that we were shooting a commercial for the Breaking Bad tour.
we're gonna need a minute to emotionally process this. It felt in my heart of hearts, like, 'This is probably the last time these guys were ever going to play a scene together as these characters.'" Uh. "Somehow watching them play it here, in the movie, felt more finite or definitive. Interestingly, even when Gilligan was filming the series finale of Breaking Bad, it didn't feel like an ending to Jesse and Walt's journey: "In my heart of hearts somewhere, I thought to myself, 'I’ll see Brian and Aaron play these characters again someday.'" But when Gilligan filmed Cranston and Paul for their one day of shooting together on El Camino, it felt different. I wanted to go back to a time when they didn’t hate each other, when there was in fact a grudging respect for one another. And when people watch this thing all the way through and they binge it, that’s what they’re left with - these guys hated each other. And by the end of it, they literally want each other’s dead. Their relationship really started to devolve as the seasons progressed.
