had just 36 hours with Bryan Cranston. 36 hours in which to transport, make up and filmunforgettable anti-hero, Walter White, for his appearance in their then secret movie., a movie followup to his groundbreaking AMC show, clandestinely, and he intended to shoot the film under cover as well, relying on the discretion of his cast and crew at work in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
"We didn't want it ruined for the fans," says Gilligan, who also directed the film, which opened in theaters and premiered on Netflix Oct. 11. "Constitutionally, I don't want the things I look forward to spoiled. If there's a movie I'm looking forward to, I don't want to know jack squat about it before I'm sitting down in the theaters and the lights go down.
Among the headaches for Gilligan’s producers engaged in this stealth mission, Melissa Bernstein and Diane Mercer, was executing a key flashback scene with Walter White and Aaron Paul’s Jesse Pinkman in a diner. At the time, Cranston was appearing in eight performances a week ofon Broadway, with Mondays off.
For the crew, however, there were other, more prosaic concerns. The painstakingly made bald cap could not reproduce one of the most famous skulls in television history. Cranston’s hair was stuffed under it, so the silhouette was off. It was a problem the crew soon realized they would have to fix digitally, and as a result, nearly every shot in the diner scene is a VFX shot.
Gilligan was, however, able to achieve his key goal of keeping the existence of the movie—and the legend Walter White’s return to his hometown a secret. "I give all credit to our producers," Gilligan says. "I don't want to brag too much about all the great work they did, because someone's going to read this and say, 'I'm going to go hack this thing right now.
BryanCranston Good thing I already saw it. THR, way to throw a spoiler out... THR: 'Also...............There's no Santa...' Wait, what

BryanCranston So just fuck everyone who hasn't had the chance to watch it yet right?

BryanCranston Way to spoil part of a movie THREE fucking days after release
So they did use CGI for his head. And it still looked too big compared with BB.
Not cool.
Spoiler!!!!!!!!
THR should update their bio to: 'The Hollywood Reporter is the premier destination for unavoidable spoilers & most widely trusted resource for entertainment news, reviews, videos & more. Even if you haven't seen it, yet. We just want them clicks.' Come on, THR intern, be smarter
Well it's not a secret anymore thanks to you! I've seen the film, but on behalf of everyone who hasn't maybe wait a little while longer before spoiling things? Common courtesy and all that.
BryanCranston This explains why this scene is so pointless.
I’m never precious about spoilers, but this was absolutely a situation where you could’ve crafted this tweet in a manner that didn’t give the game entirely away. Not everyone could watch El Camino this weekend. You could’ve at least given folks the holiday today b4 doing this.
The bald cap was noticeably bad but I gave it a pass given he actually had hair now.
BryanCranston Fuck I've avoided spoilers for 2 days and now this. Thanks a fucking lot thr
BryanCranston Wish it had been more of a “cameo”
BryanCranston Not to ruin it or anything in a tweet, right?
