Breaking Bad: the movie
 

So it's actually happening:

The plot is only said to be that the movie “tracks the escape of a kidnapped man and his quest for freedom.” The further adventures of Jesse Pinkman? I think if they're literally going to call this "Breaking Bad," though, that absolutely they will involve Bryan Cranston... and Walter White will live on.

I saw this yesterday, and I am absolutely fvcking on board for a Jesse Pinkman sequel. :tcool:

Probably a lot of Walter White flashbacks, but Heisenberg is dead... I hope they don't retcon that!

Definitely sounds like it will primarily be a Plinkman sequel. Maybe we'll get Gene, too!

From Cranston himself, who has been given a copy of the script but hasn't read it yet (which could be taken one of two ways):

It's most likely that he died but we don't know that he died. He was laying there near death but the cops were going to storm in there within seconds... and possibly would be able save him. I mean, we want him to be dead because that was a relatively perfect bookend to the show and his arc... but if Vince Gilligan has truly cooked up a suitable continuation for him? I dunno, I'd be down for that.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Gene! And Jane, too. And that Hispanic chick from the later seasons... man, Jesse has a LOT of deaths weighing on him. :tsad:

Yeah, Walter could have been saved. It'd feel like a bit of a cheat, but if Gilligan has future plans for him, I trust him to deliver.

They've been done filming for a while now.

so ready for this

oh fvck yes!!!

Yeah man. This show really had some great characters. And so much humor in it for a drama; I'm gonna try to start rewatching today.

Interesting... how many people did Walter White kill in that last shootout? Was it 8 or 9? Because if it's 9... why is there 0 mention of Walter White in this news report?

I understand it as nobody knows for sure WHO pulled the trigger (relatively speaking).

Maybe Jesse, our person of interest, killed all 8 Neo-Nazis and one Walter White.

I hope Jesse gets a happier ending than any other Breaking Bad main character. :tlol: :tsad:

Walt, Hank, Gus, Saul, Mike... nobody gets out alive... :teek:

I'd never even considered that. That'd be pretty f***ed up, him taking the rap for that.

Wait, how would they even know he was there, though?

So there is no time skip? Jessie’s actor is like 10+ years older than he was when the show ended, how are they going to pass it off that this is the next day or week or whatever?

Well, Jesse was on the DEA's $hit list for a long time thanks to Hank. Maybe there was security camera footage and Pinkman was recognized?

"Better Call Saul" has been doing that for 5 years, and that's even set before "Breaking Bad." In fact, "Better Call Saul" season 5 just wrapped 3 days ago. https://www.cinemablend.com/televisi...rry-nacho-fans

I think it will at least be "a few months later," since we see Jessie living in what looks like a rat's nest of his own making in a behind the scenes pic. It looks rather lived in.

That teaser indicates it takes place immediately after the series so the whole person interest thing makes sense. After they process the scene they will then know for sure Jesse Pinkman was there due to finger prints left behind. Also remember Todd was strangled not shot. It probably wouldn’t take the police too long to put the whole thing together. Jesse isn’t likely to get far in the el Camino either. I can’t wait for this.

Full trailer just came out:

I love that we have no idea what's going to happen. Hardly any clues, just tons of wild speculation.

This gonna be good.

Still betting on "Jessie tripping balls, gets visited by a lot of dead people." But as to how he gets out of trouble, or if he does? Yeesh. No idea.

If by tripping balls, you mean PTSD hallucinations, sure. But I really doubt Jesse would go back to drugs after everything they've caused in his life.

...

Except he's back with Skinny Pete and Badger. Which maybe means he's regressing, with nowhere else to go in his life or physically? Yikes. :teek:

So besides Jesse being on the run from the police, who exactly is he going after in this? Everyone is dead.

Walt is dead, Gus is dead, the whole Salemanca operation is dead, Mike is dead, Todd and all those Nazi's in the last season are dead, most of the drug cartels we've seen in the show are dead.

I mean I guess Saul is still around, but I don't see why Jesse would go after him.

Picking up the pipe again? Eh, maybe. If he starts staying up for days, that would explain the hallucinations.

Saul is still around as "Gene." All of Saul's cronies. Badger and Skinny Pete. Nacho from "Better Call Saul" (mentioned on Breaking Bad) may still be alive. Walt's family. Jessie's parents.

Well "El Camino" came out today. Pretty good. I probably expected too much of it but it's perfectly great as kind of a... two part Breaking Bad episode or something. A sound end for Jesse and a sound epilogue for the show. I hope there's more of these, like, "Gus: A Breaking Bad Movie" and so on.

Disappointed that there was no

I just watched it too. This is why you can't do flashbacks for a live-action series that ended years ago when the real life actors obviously age. While Jesse didn't look too different (he's in his 40's now, lol, in some flashbacks he was playing his teenage self), "fat" Meth Damon looked ridiculous and took me out of it. :lol:

Overall it was pretty good and had some funny moments, (like when the police car arrived. "Look at that response time."), and some fun moments with the new, mostly moronic, villains.

One thing it also does, is well, basically paints Jesse as a "good guy" forever. I remember a lot of debate years ago if Jesse was almost as bad as the people he was working with since he, "knew what he was getting into," even if he never did anything truly horrible. But he's basically a hero in this movie, looks like the fans got what they wanted.

But goddamn the actor who plays Todd is so fat now I just couldn't take it. :lol:

He did pack on some pounds, even since that Black Mirror episode.

Jesse's turning point to bad was when he murdered Gale, no? He just executed him in cold blood.

The age of everybody involved was very distracting. Especially Meth Damon and, for me, Jesse himself.

Still really loved it though. A fitting epilogue to Breaking Bad, and I'm so glad Jesse got the ending that I think he deserved.

The age difference of the actors would have been distracting for me if the actors didn’t pick up where they left off with their respective characters but they all did. I mean they all hit their marks perfectly.

I was really hoping they'd have just set it now. Like, he's been on the run for years. It's also why I was figuring hallucinated ghosts instead of creating new flashbacks to the show... a ghost can age in Jesse's mind and is more believable than seeing Aaron Paul pass as 15 years younger in a season 1 flashback.

This movie takes place in 2010, doesn't it? I know the show ended 6 years ago and took 5 years to conclude but only 2 years pass in-universe. According to the Wiki, Jesse was born in 1984 while Aaron was born in 1979. What we have here is a man who started to portray a 24 year old man when he was 29, the character was 26 when he initially stopped portraying him at age 34, and then continued to play the 26 year old at age 40.

So I don't know how to really react to the actors being older. Obviously he's 14 years older than the character now but he started out older than Jesse and was nearly a decade older than him by the end. Continuity and filming schedules don't exactly match up well in general, and setting the movie 14 years after the show ended just to have ages match might not have made for a compelling story.

Jesse didn't look that much older to me but then again its been a while since I saw the last season of the show. Of course he looks older than when the show started in Season 1 but that's to be expected.

Fat Meth Damon looked absolutely ridiculously bad. I mean, if they had the budget for it they could have used some de-aging (or de-fatting) :lol: CGI on him.
