Moreover, a logline published in The Albuquerque Journal described a project that “follows the escape of a kidnapped man and his quest for freedom.” This, of course, lines up with how we last saw Jesse in the Breaking Bad series finale, “Felina.” Freshly liberated from a meth-cooking enslavement in a conciliatory gesture by his cancer-stricken (later-mortally-wounded) former partner, Walter White (Bryan Cranston), we saw Jesse – beaten and traumatized by an immense array of personal tragedies – drive off into the night, laughing maniacally, leaving viewers to speculate about his fate (and mindset).

Gilligan also directed the film, which was successfully shot in secret for Sony Pictures Television.Ī Deadline report pointed to a project listed back in fall 2018 with the New Mexico Film Office, called Greenbriar, a title that just screamed secret code name. The feature came about after franchise mastermind took time away from the mythology’s imminently-returning spinoff series, Better Call Saul, to write and executive-produce, joined by repertory collaborators Mark Johnson and Melissa Bernstein. Netflix’s official logline reads: “ 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.”īarring the initial news of the project (which was subsequently met with disingenuous denials from the cast and crew), director Vince Gilligan was successful in surreptitiously shooting El Camino without any substantive leaks. You know who it is, but it would be unseemly to post such a blatant spoiler, even several months after the movie’s initial release. Lastly, there is another (heretofore secret) role reprisal from a major Breaking Bad character. Larry Hankin reprised his role as junkyard owner Old Joe, who helped Walt and Jesse multiple times, first in Season 3 by destroying the iconic RV, and in Season 5 by using a powerful electromagnet to wipe evidence off Gus’s laptop.Īaron Paul, of course, reprised his role as Jesse Pinkman something that, upon the news breaking, he subsequently denied to help the hush-hush project maintain secrecy. “All I can say, I think people will be really happy with what they see,” he told NYT.
Of course, Badger was also tied to the hip with Jesse’s other pal, Skinny Pete (Charles Baker), leading to both men helping Walt in an ultimately hilarious ruse against his former business partners for revenge and financial assurance for his family in the series finale.Ĭharles Baker returned as “Skinny Pete,” as Netflix confirmed with its first teaser clip, showing the character being interviewed by authorities regarding the fugitive Jesse’s whereabouts.
His arrest for said slinging led to the show’s introduction of the mythology’s eventual spinoff character, lawyer Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk). The character, who recurred throughout the series going back to Season 1, was Jesse’s flighty friend, and was one of the first street assets used to sell Blue Sky meth. Matt Jones reprised his role as drug-slinging slacker Badger. The character – depicted on Breaking Bad as Gus’s main enforcer – was a father figure to Jesse. Of course, Banks won’t be rusty when revisiting Mike, seeing as he currently plays the character as part of the main cast in AMC prequel spinoff series Better Call Saul. Jonathan Banks reprised his role as Mike Ehrmantraut – obviously in a flashback, since the character is also quite dead. However, in a testament to the suspension of disbelief we’re well used to on Better Call Saul, the series-era flashbacks show Plemons’s Todd looking… well, let’s just say “different” than he did during the series. Jesse Plemons reprised his role as the sadistic “dead-eyed Opie,” Todd, which, despite the character’s memorable death on the series (via Jesse’s vengeful hands), turned out to be a substantial part of the plot by way of flashbacks.
