Vince Gilligan, creator of Breaking Bad., was recently interviewed by Rolling Stone colleagues about his latest creation, The Road. For those unfamiliar with it, this is the film that goes to clarify what happened to Jesse pinkman after his car escape. The American author has "defended", so to speak, the integrity of the original series, specifying the reasons behind the production. The ending of Breaking Bad., although complete in the context of the series, it left a small space in Jesse's story that the author wanted to fill.
While supporting the narrative solidity of the series, over the years he had found himself repeatedly imagining how his story would continue, and began a small project with the desire to work with the actor again. Aaron Paul, also asking the writers of the spin off B. Second Gilligan this does not mean that BB was an incomplete series, but he is keen to emphasize that the biggest reason why El Camino saw the light is wanting to make a "gift" to fans linked to the character of Aaron Paul and, above all, to the actor himself who "deserves to be the star of many other films". The initial project, which was meant to turn into a simple 15-20 minute episode, has gradually evolved to become a two-hour film.
