Rumors began to circulate in November 2018 that a film continuation of the series was in development, and would see Aaron Paul reprise his role as Jesse Pinkman.[4] Paul said that Vince Gilligan had contacted him around 2017 about plans for celebrating the tenth anniversary of Breaking Bad and hinted at something big, and he vowed that he would be eager to be involved with any idea that Gilligan had to continue Jesse's character.[1] In an interview in November 2018, Bryan Cranston, who starred as Walter White, confirmed that a film was indeed in the works but said he had not seen a script. Cranston also stated he would be interested in appearing.[5]

Filming occurred in Albuquerque around November 2018 under the working title of Greenbrier.[6][7] By the time local media made a connection between Greenbrier and Breaking Bad, filming had been mostly completed, according to Paul.[1] Bob Odenkirk, who portrays Saul Goodman on Breaking Bad and its spinoff Better Call Saul, stated in August 2019, "I've heard so many different things about it, but I am excited about the Breaking Bad movie. I can't wait to see it." Regarding the film's secrecy, he stated, "I don't know what people know and don't know. I find it hard to believe you don't know it was shot. They did it. You know what I mean? How is that a secret? But it is. They've done an amazing job of keeping it a secret."[8]

It was reported in February 2019 that a Breaking Bad film would be released by Netflix and AMC.[6] Netflix announced the film on August 24, 2019, with the name El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, along with the film's first teaser trailer. In the days prior to its formal announcement, Netflix temporarily listed the film on its website, which was noticed by users before it was pulled. The title refers to the Chevrolet El Camino that Jesse is seen driving away from the white supremacists' headquarters after being rescued by Walter at the end of the Breaking Bad finale "Felina".[1][9] The film is expected to be released on October 11, 2019, on Netflix, with later airings on AMC.[1][3][10]

Marketing

The announcement trailer of the film was released by Netflix on August 24, 2019.[11]
