El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie is available to stream in just over two weeks, and Netflix couldn't be teasing us more.

Just two days ago at The Emmy Awards, they released a teaser clip in which Jesse Pinkman could be seen fretting in his El Camino car as a warrant was called for his arrest. And now, they've finally given us a full-length trailer, which offers the first proper look at his troubled life on the run.
Naturally, the two minute promo is as cryptic as ever, and raises more questions about the new series than it answers. But the tense music, heavy breathing and shots of a hardened, tortured Jesse confirms that El Camino is certainly going to be as gripping as Breaking Bad from the very offset.
The promo starts by showing a bruised and battered Jesse turning up at Skinny Pete's door, as his comrade stares at him wide eyed before taking him in to safety.
He then showers and cleans the wounds inflicted on him by his former neo-Nazi captors, and shaves his head much like his late business partner Walter White, seemingly a metaphorical sign that he now means business.
The rest of the trailer shows Jesse navigating his new underground life as one of America's most wanted criminals, which - as you'd expect from a Breaking Bad spin-off - is packed full of danger, tears and pointed guns.
At one point Jesse is seen arriving at Tohajiilee Navajo reservation, where he and Walt first cooked meth together. There, he's seen digging something up - could he be looking for Hank and Gomez?
The mysteries don't stop there, as at the end, an offscreen voice asks: "Are you ready?", to which Jesse replies that he is. But for what, and who is he speaking to?!
Breaking Bad, which ran from 2008 to 2013, followed the story of Walter White - a high school chemistry teacher played by Bryan Cranston - who turned to manufacturing methamphetamine to secure his family's future after a devastating lung cancer diagnosis.
The new film, which hits the streaming site on October 11th, was first teased back in June when the show's stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul shared the same picture of two donkeys on Twitter.
A month later, Netflix shared the first clip of the movie, a minute-long snippet showing Skinny Pete being brought in for questioning about Jesse's whereabouts, where the meth cooker's ally refuses to give up his friend.
While the trailers have so far being incredibly coy, they do suggest that El Camino is going to start right after the Breaking Bad series left off.
So, if you haven't finished the current series (where have you been?!) you've got a lot of catching up to do in the next few days...
After that nail biting trailer, WE. CANNOT. WAIT.
