From today's featured article  Aaron Paul, who reprised the role of Jesse Pinkman El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie is a 2019 American neo-Western crime thriller film that serves as a sequel and epilogue to the television series Breaking Bad. It continues the story of Jesse Pinkman, who partnered throughout the series with former teacher Walter White to build a crystal meth empire based in Albuquerque. Series creator Vince Gilligan wrote, directed, and produced the film; Aaron Paul (pictured) reprised his role as Jesse Pinkman. Gilligan started considering the story of El Camino while writing Breaking Bad &#39;s series finale. He approached Paul with the idea several years later, but told few others. After the script was complete and studio backing was obtained, principal photography discreetly began in New Mexico. In August 2019, Netflix released a trailer and unveiled the film's premiere date, surprising fans and critics alike due to the secrecy surrounding the project. The film drew positive reviews and won the Critics' Choice Award for Best Movie Made for Television. (Full article...)
