Nearly six years ago, viewers of “Breaking Bad” watched the final episode of that series, in which the drug kingpin Walter White (played by Bryan Cranston) emerged from hiding and sacrificed his life to rescue his one-time partner, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) from an Aryan Brotherhood gang. When White expired in a meth lab and the credits rolled, audiences believed it might be the last time they would see many of these characters.
But it turns out the story of “Breaking Bad” isn’t quite finished.
Netflix announced on Saturday that it will release a new “Breaking Bad” movie that will center on Pinkman, the excitable meth cook played by Paul, who was last seen in the TV series speeding off in a stolen Chevrolet El Camino to parts unknown.
The film, called “El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie,” was written and directed by Vince Gilligan, the creator of “Breaking Bad,” and will be released on Netflix on Oct. 11. The film is also expected to be broadcast at a later date on AMC, the cable network where the TV series was originally shown from 2008 to 2013.
“It’s a chapter of ‘Breaking Bad’ that I didn’t realize that I wanted,” Paul said in an interview. “And now that I have it, I’m so happy that it’s there.”
Netflix provided only the briefest plot summary of “El Camino,” which states, “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.”
Paul said in the interview that he was forbidden from revealing anything more about what happens in the film. But, like the show’s fans, he said he also believed he had said goodbye to the world of “Breaking Bad” when the TV series concluded.

Never watched it.
One day while switching Channels the last Episode was on and I enjoyed the heck out of it.
This scene gets all the BB fans every single time! Vince is a classic writer that concluded the show with a perfect ending.
They are smoking what comes out of Hollywood.
“This scene gets all the BB fans every single time!”
The “I am the danger” and “I am the one who knocks” scene is the best dialogue of the entire series, hands down.
What I love about the show most is how it walks a fine line between making us admire and despise Walter White at the same time. We get to live out all of our primal urges through his character, but then wake up to the reality that all of his bad choices must carry a steep price tag. A true anti-hero.
Brilliant.
I binge watched BB three times and it is great stuff
However, I will definitely pirate this as.. (wait for it)... I hate Netflix because of Obama and their sh*t and simply won't support them :)
