Breaking Bad Movie

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie

/in /by

The Breaking Bad movie which has been making little waves on the internet lately has officially been announced! We did hear little mumurings of a Breaking Bad movie before the official announcement, so it wasn’t too much of a surprise. But now, it’s official! It’s called El Camino and is a Netflix exclusive. El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie looks like it’s going to be a wild ride!

Announced via a teaser,  El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, will premiere on October 11th 2019. The clip revolves around Skinny Pete, reveals a little bit of information about the plot. It seems to revolve around Jesse Pinkman, maybe escaping captivity? “Putting Jesse Pinkman back in a cage”

While there’s no word on whether or not Walter White would appear, Bryan Cranston was aware that a movie was happening. But wouldn’t say if he was playing his character.

The movie won’t be coming to theatres and reflects how important Netflix was to Breaking Bad. Vince Gilligan did claim that “kept us on the air” by helping viewers catch up and watch the final episodes. While the sister show “Better Call Saul” is available on regular platforming in some countries, it’s only available on Netflix in others. So it looks like being a Netflix Only movie would be the likely place for it to go.
