El Camino Featurette
One of the buzziest moments ofEl Caminowhen it premiered in October was the unexpectedBreaking Badreunion between the dynamic duo of Bryan Cranston’s Walter White and Aaron Paul’s Jesse Pinkman. In a flashback that took us all the way back to season 2, when the science teacher and his former student teamed up to cook meth, Walter and Jesse quietly pondered their situation while Jesse wolfed down pineapple. Apart from Cranston’s distracting bald cap, it was a pitch-perfect recreation of the warily affectionate dynamic between the two, and a nice dose of nostalgia amid Jesse’s suffering through the events ofEl Camino. And according to the behind-the-scenes featurette, both Cranston and Paul felt the same torrent of emotions.
“It felt cool sitting down with Walt at the diner and having the RV in the window,” Paul said in the featurette. “It was so surreal. I mean, Bryan and I, in between takes, just wanted to look at our old workshop where we spentsomuch time.”
“You’re doing the scene, and you look up and Vince is talking about a beat or a moment, and whoa I just had a flashback to when we were doing the series!” Cranston added.
The featurette comes just in time forEl Camino’s cable debut on AMC onFebruary 16, 2020, four months after theBreaking Badmovie premiered on Netflix in October 2019.
