00:00El Camino, a Breaking Bad movie hit Netflix over the weekend, and if you watched, you know that

00:11spoiler alert, Bryan Cranston makes a surprise cameo during a flashback scene in the film about

00:16Jesse Pinkman. Here's how the producers kept it top secret. During late 2018, the producers of

00:21El Camino had just 36 hours with Cranston. At the time, Cranston was appearing in eight

00:26performances a week of Network on Broadway, with Mondays Off. Their plan was to fly him out

00:30Sunday night after his show, shoot all day Monday and in the morning on Tuesday, and rap just in time

00:36to get him back to New York for his Tuesday night performance. The production crew snuck Cranston

00:40into Albuquerque on a loaned private jet. But because of his limited time, they couldn't take

00:44him to a remote spot and had to shoot at a location in the middle of a busy intersection right in town.

00:50While filming at the diner, they blocked the set from view using screens and vehicles.

00:56Another hiccup involved Cranston having a full head of hair for his Broadway show in contrast to the

01:05signature shaved skull of Walter White. The production team made a special bald cap, but given

01:10that his hair was stuffed under it, it didn't create the signature silhouette White became

01:13known for. The crew fixed the problem digitally, and as a result, nearly every shot in the diner

01:18scene is a visual effects shot. However, Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan was able to achieve his

01:23key goal of keeping the existence of the movie and the legend of Walter White's return to his

01:27hometown a secret. For more on El Camino, head to THR.com. Until next time, for The Hollywood
