The film is by David Chase, the creator and writer of the Sopranos, so I wouldn't expect it to be anything other than very good at worst.
The trailer looks badass, IMO. I hope that it launches a new series on HBO because there are an epic shit ton of stories to be told from that era and the cast looks to be absolutely perfect. |

Currently rewatching the series for the 3rd time.
Just in time for the movie. Can’t wait. Gandolfini’s son looks just like a young Tony would. |

The first season of this show was fantastic, but it was started going down hill after that. Every season the show lost one or two of its best characters and the newer ones were never as good. Nancy Marchand's death was a big blow. And I think they just ran out of ideas. I mean Tony was having panic attacks about meat for gods sake.

The show developed a huge array of amazing characters and stories. I personally don’t like the final 1/2 season, but the rest of the show was ****ing fantastic. |

So Tony was killed at the end.
The Sopranos creator David Chase finally revealed what happened to Tony Soprano in the infamous series finale. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Chatter podcast, Chase revealed that main character Tony Soprano did, indeed, die in the infamous cut-to-black Sopranos series finale, though he said that particular ending scene was not originally what he had in mind. "I had a scene in which Tony comes back from a meeting in New York in his car," Chase said. "At the beginning of every show, he came from New York into New Jersey, and the last scene could be him coming from New Jersey back into New York for a meeting at which he was going to be killed." However, Chase explained that the idea for the final moments of the finale taking place in the little restaurant came to him two years before the episode aired on June 10, 2007. "But I think I had this notion -- I was driving on Ocean Park Boulevard near the airport and I saw a little restaurant," the series creator said. "It was kind of like a shack that served breakfast. And for some reason, I thought, 'Tony should get it in a place like that.' Why? I don't know." While Chase's intention was for Tony to die at the end of the iconic HBO series, often considered one of the best television shows of all time, he did not expect the massive response the finale received, saying, "Yeah, nobody said anything about the episode. No, it was all about the ending." He also revealed that what bothered him about the reaction to the Sopranos finale wasn't the huge response, but was people needing to see Tony die on screen. "That bothered me," he said. "They wanted to know that Tony was killed. They wanted to see him go face-down in linguini, you know?" He continued, "And I just thought, 'God, you watched this guy for seven years and I know he's a criminal. But don't tell me you don't love him in some way, don't tell me you're not on his side in some way. And now you want to see him killed? You want justice done? You're a criminal after watching this shit for seven years.' That bothered me, yeah."

Honestly never understood the "did Tony die?" mania, dude he got whacked
You can hate the way Chase ended it, I definitely did But Tony is DEAD Tony was already a source of major irritation for the 5 families, then kills Leotardo in front of his wife and grandkids! Thats waaay outside the bounds, its absolutely terrible for business... so of course Tony got whacked the same way |
