Breaking Bad Movie Trailer is Mysterious as the Previous

That familiar face in an El Camino in the desert

As Netflix is busy battling HBO on stage for Emmys supremacy, the streamer also released another trailer for its highly secretive El Camino: Breaking Bad movie. The film launches on Netflix, October 11 and is produced by Mark Johnson, Melissa Bernstein, Charles Newirth, Diane Mercer and Aaron Paul, in association with Sony Pictures Television and Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan is also back in the director’s chair.

 

The flick is an upcoming American neo-western crime drama film that serves as a continuation of the television runs Breaking Bad. The Netflix movie is about a crystal meth empire built by Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) and Walter White (Bryan Cranston) (The Breaking Bad duo also built a mezcal business in real life). White sacrificed his life to save Pinkman from an Aryan Brotherhood gang, who was last seen speeding off in a stolen EL Camino Chevrolet to parts unknown.

The Emmy’s trailer was a moment foreshadowed by an El Camino feature in The Hollywood Reporter published on Wednesday, which included quotes from series creator Vince Gilligan and star Aaron Paul about the new film and the immense secrecy behind its production in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

 

Because a sequel to one of the biggest shows of the century is a huge deal, Gilligan and Paul declined to provide a ton of information about the project—disclosing the bare minimum about the plot and where Jesse Pinkman is headed after the massacre of the neo-Nazis that also claimed Walt’s life while driving off with a new lease on life. That lack of information was, itself, the perfect bit of foreshadowing for Sunday night, as the second trailer for Breaking Bad is just as sparse as the previous El Camino teaser, which features Skinny Pete in an interrogation room.

 

As one fanboy puts it, it’s better to know as little as possible about El Camino and Gilligan and Netflix to err on the side of caution. If you’re a fan and already hyped about El Camino, the lack of detail won’t deter you from watching the film.

 

Disappointing as this trailer may be for its lack of exciting new footage, it’s going to be all the more rewarding when El Camino: Breaking Bad movie drops in October and we’ll finally be privy to the movie in all its glory.
