The Many Saints of ‘Newark’ | The Sopranos Prequel

I absolutely cannot wait for this. I just recently binged all 6 Seasons of the show, and I definitely think a prequel has a lot of potential. I honestly think this could be the next Goodfellas if all goes right and I mean how can you go wrong with this stacked of a cast. Also, going by what I've seen of him in The Deuce Michael Gandolfini has some really solid acting chops, and it really helps how much he looks like his father.

Haha that is beautiful.
 
I wonder if that is Tony's letterman jacket she is wearing...

He never had the makings of a varsity athlete. :o:(
 
Just incase you guys don't know, Steve Schirripa and Michael Imperioli have their own podcast.

''Talking Sopranos'' video versions are available on YouTube.

Madon!

Learned about this from the Batman thread. Oh well, not unexpected, since everything is beyond delayed, moved and cancelled.
 
'Hamilton': Leslie Odom, Jr. Doesn't Regret Leaving the Show, But Is Thrilled It's on Disney+

It’s also cool that you’re in The Many Saints of Newark. Would you say that The Sopranos prequel film answers or asks any new questions about the series?

ODOM: Well, so much of that series was about his time on the couch with the doc, and about going back and trying to get a handle on the people and the events that shape you and the things that made you who you are, so that Tony could be better – a better husband, a better father, a better mob boss, a better waste management manager. This just adds another delicious layer to that storytelling. Now, we go back and we meet young Tony, in this pivotal summer in his life. We get to meet his mom and his dad, 20 or 25 years before we meet any of them, in the series. We get to meet his young cohorts. For people that were fans of David Chase’s storytelling in the series, it’s a really interesting and delicious layer to the story to go to the foundation level and look at it from there.
 
I feel like so much of the “When will we get movies again?” discourse has been focused on tentpoles, the HBO Max news just has me happy to be reminded “Oh yeah, this is still coming.”
 
John Magaro on Working With His Cow Co-Star in 'First Cow'

What was it like to be a part of a film like The Many Saints of Newark? Is it very daunting to tell a story that includes such a well-known and loved character like Tony Soprano, even if it’s a different part of his life than we’ve seen before?

MAGARO: Yeah. It’s crazy. I would imagine the people who went to the new Star Wars, or anything with such loyal fans who are almost religious about it, there’s this huge pressure and I know every single one of us in that movie was feeling it as we were making it, and we’re still concerned about it, as it’s sitting there waiting to come out. I’ve only heard good things from David [Chase], and from the people at Warner Bros. and New Line, so I hope they’re right, but of course, it’s scary. We live in this world now, where people are looking for anything to criticize, so I’m sure we’re gonna get some of that backlash. But if people can put that to the side and go on this new journey with us, I think it’s gonna be really rewarding. You have Michael Gandolfini, Jim’s son, playing Tony, and what I saw was just an absolutely brilliant performance from him. I can’t imagine the challenge of having to step into your late father’s shoes, and he did it with such grace and such courage that I was blown away. I’m excited to share it with people. It’s a very unique thing. I think it still has a lot of the humor and fun of what The Sopranos was. I’m a crazy Sopranos fan. Every Sunday night, I would watch it, when I was growing up. I get where the people who are worried are coming from, but I think it’s gonna be really great.


Have they given you any idea about when we might see some footage, like in a trailer?

MAGARO: I don’t know. With what’s happening right now, everything’s so crazy. They say [it will be out in] March, but with things getting worse and so many people, at times, not taking this thing seriously, I hope things start to get better, sooner rather than later. If things start to get better with COVID, maybe we’ll be lucky enough to see something, in the early new year, but I really don’t know.

Without giving anything away, what can you say about your character and how he fits into the story?

MAGARO: It’s so funny, I’m not allowed to really say who I am, but I think it’s very clear and it’s out there in the world, so I think everyone has figured it out who’s paying attention. He’s somebody who’s very much in Tony’s life. You get to see his connection to both the worlds of Johnny Soprano and Dickie Moltisanti, and how he bridges the gap with Tony, who ends up taking the reins in the series. That’s where he functions in this world. I gotta leave it at that.
 
I rewatch the Sopranos so much haha.

Every time "I'll just watch one episode" and then next thing I know I've watched 2-3 seasons. For sure one of the most rewatchable dramas ever and obviously one of, if not the, best.

Very excited for this movie
