Tony Soprano's origin story comes to the big screen in THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK, and Warner Bros. has released the first look trailer, images, and movie poster for The Sopranos prequel.
The late James Gandolfini's son Michael Gandolfini steps into his father's shoes to play the beloved mobster boss from the iconic television series created by David Chase. The ensemble cast includes Alessandro Nivola, Jon Bernthal, Corey Stoll, Billy Magnussen, Ray Liotta, and Vera Farmiga with a jarring look thanks to a prosthetic nose to play Tony's mom Livia Soprano (played Nancy Marchand in series).
Set in Newark, Tony Soprano was meant for greater things as a highly intelligent person, but life in Newark with a gangster uncle led him to the criminal underworld, so the story goes in the first look at the Tony Soprano origin story.
The Sopranos” creator David Chase returns as the producer of the movie with Alan Taylor (THOR: DARK WORLD, Game of Thrones) directing. THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK will have a theatrical release on October 1, and on HBO Max (for 31 days).
