`Better Call Saul’ Teaser Trailer Shows How Saul Goodman Started Breaking Bad; Who Is Jimmy McGill? [VIDEO]

AMC released a new 'Better Call Saul' teaser trailer and it shows Walter White's lawyer before he started breaking bad. Long before he started breaking bad, before his name was even Saul Goodman.

Most of the new Better Call Saul trailer shows Vince Gilligan talking about the show along with the show's other creators, but for nine seconds of this 43 second teaser for the Breaking Bad spinoff shows Jimmy McGill before he became the meth mouthpiece Saul Goodman.

It's been almost a year since Breaking Bad went off the air, and fans are still hungry for that deep crystal blue meth.

According to Gilligan, the Breaking Bad spinoff begins "half a decade before" before Walter and Jesse Pinkman called on the shyster. At the time, the lawyer was known as Jimmy McGill. He re-christened himself Saul "for the homeboys".

McGill says "I don't go looking for guilty people to represent. Who needs that aggravation, right?"

Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul staged a mini-Breaking Bad reunion earlier this week when they shot a promo for the Emmys with Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Walter and Jesse play two redneck pawn shop owners giving an estimate for the Veep star's "Seinfeld" statue.

Jesse Pinkman and Walter White will probably not be reuniting at the office of Saul Goodman. Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston, the stars of "Breaking Bad," will probably not be appearing in the AMC spinoff series "Better Call Saul," which is being started up by creator Vince Gilligan.

Aaron Paul recently talked to HuffPost Live host Ricky Camilleri saying he'd really like the reunion. "I didn't think that news was supposed to be public yet but yeah, we are doing another season," Paul said, "No that's a lie. That's not happening guys, come on!"

"Let's be honest, I don't think we're going to see more 'Breaking Bad,' but I hope we might be able to play our character again in 'Better Call Saul,' but that's not solidified," Paul said. "It's not set in stone, there's no plan of Jesse or Walt making an appearance in the first season of 'Better Call Saul.' [But] who knows? Maybe in the future seasons."

Better Call Saul, the "Breaking Bad" spinoff, was originally conceived as a half-hour sitcom, according to Vince Gilligan, who said, "There's obviously a danger inherent in doing a spinoff, but I just love the character of Saul Goodman so much, and part of me doesn't want to say no to this world."

Better Call Saul premieres in February 2015 on AMC.
