Breaking Bad Movie Will Feature A Character Who Died On The Show

The new Breaking Bad movie, El Camino, will reportedly feature 10 or more familiar characters. The story focuses on what happens to Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) immediately after the events of Breaking Bad, but what other characters are returning? One more can now be added to the list.

Jonathan Banks, who played Mike Ehrmantraut on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, told ET Canada that he’ll appear in El Camino. “Yes. They’ll hit me in the head for saying this, but yes, why not? How hard can they hit me? None of those guys hit very hard anyway,” Banks said.

People are speculating that the two figures here are Jesse and MikePeople are speculating that the two figures here are Jesse and Mike

Walter White (Bryan Cranston) murdered Mike in the Breaking Bad Season 5 episode “Say My Name,” so fans are wondering how Ehrmantraut might come back for El Camino. One possibility is that this may happen in a flashback scene.

After all, the full-length trailer for El Camino showed two figures that look like Jesse and Mike–standing by a river that looks similar to the one where Walt killed Mike. It’s also possible that this is Walt and Mike standing side by side, but it’s hard to say for sure who they are given the silhouettes and clothes are not completely consistent with Breaking Bad.

The two cars in the background appear to be Mike’s Chrysler New Yorker and Jesse’s red Toyota Tercel, which lends to the suggestion that this scene shows Mike and Jesse, though this is only speculation.

As for the other returning characters in El Camino, trailers have already confirmed that Skinny Pete (Charles Baker), Badger (Matt Jones), and Joe (Larry Hankin) will come back, in addition to Jesse (Aaron Paul) in the leading role.

A rumored casting sheet for El Camino mentioned that the following characters would return: Mike, Skinny Pete, Badger, Ed, Mrs. Pinkman, Kenny, and Jane. The sheet also said Walter White will return with Bryan Cranston reprising his iconic role.

According to a report, one of the returning characters is so secretive that the producers flew them to set on a private jet to avoid detection. If Walter White is indeed coming back, he would certainly fit the bill of a massive surprise cameo that the producers would want to keep a secret.

El Camino comes to Netflix and select theatres on October 11.

New Breaking Bad Movie Teaser Trailer Shows Another Returning Character

The Breaking Bad movie, El Camino, is almost here. As such, Netflix is making sure everyone on the planet is aware of that. Following the full-length trailer, Netflix has now released a more intimate, character-focused teaser video that shines a little more light on the mysterious movie.

The new “Go For Joe” teaser video re-introduces viewers to Old Joe from the salvage yard. As viewers may recall, Joe helped Walter and Jesse out of tight spots numerous times over the course of Breaking Bad with his own crooked manoeuvrings. In El Camino, Jesse is on the run, and it appears Jesse will turn to Joe for some help yet again.

Actor Larry Hankin (Escape From Alcatraz, Friends) is back as Joe, and he receives a heavy phone call. After picking up with his trademark and exuberant, “Go for Joe,” his demeanour immediately changes when he realizes he is speaking to, presumably, Albuquerque’s most wanted man, Jesse Pinkman. “Yeah, I know who this is. At this point, who doesn’t? Joe says with a sigh.

This is only speculation, but this teaser (which was already glimpsed in an earlier trailer) might suggest that Jesse is looking for Joe’s help again with what he does best: making stuff disappear. Given that the El Camino that Jesse owns ties him to all number of crimes, it might be that Jesse is looking for Joe’s help to destroy his vehicle.

Joe already destroyed the RV owned by Jesse and Walt that doubled as their meth lab. Additionally, he helped Jesse and Walt with the magnet and battery situation to destroy a laptop inside the police station. Additionally, it is presumed that Joe crumpled the Mike Ehrmantraut’s car.

El Camino will apparently feature 10 or more familiar Breaking Bad characters. These will include Jesse (Aaron Paul), Skinny Pete (Charles Baker), Badger (Matt Jones), and Joe (Larry Hankin). Additionally, Jonathan Banks recently confirmed that Mike Ehrmantraut will come back as well, presumably in a flashback. One of the returning characters is so secretive that the producers flew them to set on a private jet to avoid detection.

El Camino comes to Netflix and select theatres on October 11.

The Last Of Us 2 Has A Cool Improvement You Might Not Have Noticed

GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers.

Naughty Dog has described The Last of Us Part II as one of the most ambitious games it has ever made. One of the major new additions is something that may not be immediately apparent, but will no doubt have a big impact on the game: a new traversal animation system.

Admittedly, “a new traversal animation system” may not sound exciting, but the implications of it certainly do. GameSpot attended a hands-on event for The Last of Us Part II and spoke to co-director Anthony Newman, who highlighted “motion matching” as one of the key new additions to the game.

“It’s this technology for characters moving through a space like running, walking, jumping, and that kind of thing,” Newman explained. “In all our previous games there’s been this really distinct state machine where we say, ‘Play a run animation. Then play a turn left animation. Then play a turn right animation.’ The way motion matching works is it takes this massive bucket of animation, just hundreds and hundreds of animations, and chops them into little tiny bits. When you define the path that a player or an enemy wants to take, rather than saying, ‘Play this and then play that and then play that,’ the system actually looks at the bucket of animations, finds the ones that matches the path that you’re already taking, and blends them together frame-by-frame.”

The effect of this is, as Naughty Dog says, much smoother, more natural movement to characters. “It’s this totally new way of doing traversal,” Newman continued. “I think, as you play the game, you must have noticed just how fluid the player feels. With every foot plant, every turn, there’s as little blending as possible. That’s applied to our NPCs. That’s applied to the horses. That’s applied to the dogs. We even have these dogs and horses and mocap suits running around getting the data that we needed for this really intricate system.”

A new gameplay video for The Last of Us Part II was shown during Sony’s recent State of Play event. The video provides fleeting glimpses at some of the action scenes where this kind of movement will become most evident. More importantly, however, the trailer confirmed a release date for The Last of Us Part II.

We also learned that The Last of Us Part II will come on two discs, which is something of a rarity for PlayStation 4 titles. If you splash out for one of the special editions of the game, you’ll get a note from co-director Neil Druckmann. You can read the heartfelt message from The Last of Us Part II’s director in advance, however.

The Last Of Us 2 News Roundup: All The New Story And Gameplay Details We Learned

One of the most highly-anticipated games of 2020 is The Last of Us Part II. Since its announcement in 2016, both Sony and Naughty Dog have kept tight-lipped about its story and how it’ll play, only offering brief looks of how it’s shaping up. However, that veil has once again lifted thanks to a new trailer and preview event that allowed us our first hands-on time with the game.

The latest trailer alluded in more detail to Ellie’s motivations in The Last of Us Part II. There were also glimpses of her relationship with her companion Dina, as well as shots of the infected.
