yes please

lol Talk about striking while the iron is hot.

I will be the first to hack this and make sure it's available for every person with an internet connection to steal. The parasites just keep sucking.</br></br>It was a great series, let it be.

That kid looks just like a young Gandalfini though...

Yeah, but can he breathe like he has a box of Triscuits in his nose?

Lord of the Rings IV: Zombie Gandalf vs Zombie Frodo </br></br>AKA (I suck and have no original thought)

it's his real life son, I think

I just read that today. Didn't know this wow.

Got daddy's eyebrows and orbital structure

Maybe because thats his real life son playing young Dad in the movie?

On this we can agree.

Every one of those shitty fast and furious movies are still making $1 billion or more. Why do they have to touch one of the best TV series of all time? The studio thinks its going to make $1 billion on this too?

The writer/producer, David Chase, had been planning to do more seasons of The Sopranos at some point but after James Gandolfini's death, that idea was over. The new seasons would have been about Tony not actually dying but turning FBI informant. The series would have been about Tony and his family dealing with the fallout from that decision.

Since that couldn't happen, he decide to do a prequel movie centered around a young Tony Soprano, in this case, played by Gandolfini's actual son.

I doubt the film will break $50 million at the box office, so in reality, it's just a way to jump start another HBO series.

I can tell from the trailer it’s going to be high quality.

I highly doubt the expectations are a billion dollar franchise like the F&F movies.

I hope this is great.

Never watched the series, outside of a death montage on youtube. So knowing absolutely **** all about the source material, this trailer still looks like a movie I would absolutely pay to see.

Christopher's dad is going to be a center character.

Nice.

I bet that quick scene of Tony banging a chick is him with Charmaine. LMAO

I have somewhat of a "Wish List" with this film, especially considering that Alan Taylor directed this film. He directed the episode in which Janice kills Richie Aprile, so I won't be surprised when this film is bloody and shocking.

Considering the film spans the 60's and 70's, I'm hoping we see Ralph Cifaretto cross paths with Tony, just to see Tony kick the living shit out of him one more time.

Joey Pants freaking nailed that role. I think I was literally cheering when Tony killed him.

LMAO

Corey Stoll should make for a great Uncle June, too.

I’ve never watched The Sopranos so I don’t have an opinion.

Now if Gandolfini's kid can exude him like this, it'll be awesome

OMG that would have been a horrible idea. Stupid TV idea. Bad guys are good or good guys are bad this season.

After he left us wondering whether Tony was alive or dead in that last shot. That was one of the worse endings on TV until GOT season 8 took the title.

I watched Sopranos over and over. I go back and watch episodes still. I have to say that the Sopranos was only great for the first season. Once Nancy Marchand (Livia Soprano) died, the series was merely very good. So I think the prequel can reinvigorate the Sopranos franchise so long as Vera Farmiga and Gandolfini can convincingly antagonize one another.

what role is Joey Diaz playing? anybody know?

I wasn’t saying it’s going to make a billion $. As long as these reboots or next one in franchises keep making bank, they are going to keep making or remaking the popular stuff we liked at one time.

If this movie is popular, there will be a reboot of the Sopranos except set in this new movie era. And I’m guilty too. If the movie is good, I’ll give the TV series a long look.

did he?

I think it would have been pretty freaking amazing to see how Tony and Carmela Soprano would handle being shipped off to Wisconsin and forced to change their identities and deal with the aftermath of turning on everything and everyone they ever cared about and loved.

The dramatic tension would have been insane and there's no way that Tony would have been able to contain himself - he'd lose it at some point, which would have been awesome and cause even more problems and headache.

Outside of My Blue Heaven, which was a comedy, I really can't think of another film or TV series that dealt with the aftereffects of turning against the Mafia and Tony Soprano's story could have been awesome.

you ever seen My Blue Heaven?

Saw it in the theater back in the day but it was a comedy, not a serious drama like Sopranos.

Actually, I'm not even sure I'd call it a comedy because to me, it wasn't very funny (and I love Steve Martin).

It's kind of interesting that I keep reading the sentiment that the show was only truly great for season 1 and went downhill from there. I loved it pretty much the whole way through.

Like I said before, the biggest two issues were that the best characters kept getting killed off without good replacements and the fact that the show started to feel repetitive. The basic concept of a guy dealing with panic attacks due to family problems (both "families") is great but it ran it's course. First Tony has a panic attack due to the geese in his pond migrating which is cool. But then he starts having panic attacks about deli meat. You're retreading the same ground in a very silly way while treating it as a very serious situation. And we also had handful of plots where a new mob guy shows up, causes Tony problems for a season and gets whacked in that year's final episode. It's a fine plot, but they went to the well too many times.




Edit: Am I wrong or was the "Don't Stop Believing" ending intended to drum up enthusiasm for a feature film follow-up back in the day?

My favorite side character of the show, and that's saying a lot.


"She was a ****in' Whooo-waa!"

I thought Ralph, Jackie, and Tony had their own little crew when they were kids? Ralph missed robbing the card game because he " caught the clap from a hippie broad he was ****in. His dick was dripping like a busted pipe.". LMAO


And this scene.

Of all the crimes Ralph Cifaretto committed, stealing the hair of Jonathan Taylor Thomas may have been the worst.

It ended up being a wig, so you might be right.

Agreed.

It slowed down a bit after Tony went into a coma and I think the last two seasons could have been condensed into one, but that's really nitpicking at an otherwise amazing 86 episode run.

Sopranos is a top ten tv series of all time.

The wig, LOL! I thought that was so great! It was almost as if the writers hated him, too!

LMAO

Yeah, he bought that with the money they were going to use to get Sloth's teeth fixed.

I was a little late to The Sopranos and when I was binging it I had endless dreams that I was a target of a mob hit.

It's a seminal drama that ended on an uneven note. I've been waiting for this iteration for awhile and it'll be interesting to see how it ends up and whether there are any spinoffs.

And Carmela Soprano (Edie Falco) is my neighbor. Absolutely lovely and charming woman. And in real life she's friends with Janice Soprano (Aidia Turturro) who regularly watches her place, dogs, kids, etc.

Such good vibes when I think about that show and its cast.

Gabagool, OVA HERE.

I thought it looked more like David Spade. ROFL

I was born in Newark.

My Dad was in the middle of all this kind of shit.

Man, she has gotten startlingly thin. Anyone catch her on the most recent What We Do in the Shadows?

it took me like 12 years to figure what gob-a-goo was. I was already a fan of capicola too.

One of my favorite and funniest scenes

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zsxthFO-HWs" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

One of the best scenes AND episodes easily.

Fun fact: Steve Buscemi directed it.

Mix it with the relish.

I'm a huge Sopranos fan, so I'm getting in the weeds a bit here:

One of the more interesting things I've seen is how seemingly "disconnected" Edie Falco and James Gandolfini were in real life. Every interview I've seen with her, especially those after his death, Edie's relationship with James seems waaaay different than what I would have expected, given their on-screen chemistry. Just goes to show you how talented she is as an actress.

Chris- "I'll leave you here you one shoe one who sucks the penis! You know how fast I can run, I'll leave you in the ****ing dust!"

He mentioned in an interview years ago that he loved her a lot. I mean he went completely Gaga for her and said “he just loves that woman.”

Edie used to drink a lot but then got sober and had difficulty interacting with the rest of the cast because they were pretty hard-charging in that respect. I imagine that's a large part of it.

I only learned the above through googling when we were getting gifts for our neighbors and had planned for champagne but switched to a nice floral arrangement instead!

Only two days before the prequel drops...

I don't know much about their relationship from his perspective, so that's cool to hear. I was speaking mainly from her end of things. TC's perspective above ^ shines some good light there, thanks for that addition.

So stoked for the prequel. I'm powering through the series again (for the millionth time) in preparation.

We finally know. From David Chase himself:

The Dickie story was pretty good. It had a young Tony Soprano in it for a few scenes as well. It left me wanting an entire series.

Really good. Brought back a lot of old feelings about the show.Hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did.

I enjoyed it too. Maybe not as much as the show which I loved from the very first episode. I am one of the few who actually really liked the ending. What’s it like to live knowing any open door is a potential hit? I needed 86 episodes (okay maybe they could have done it in 75) to actually understand the geese panic attack fully. I actually kind of felt the panic for him in that last scene. In this movie, Vera Farmiga was fantastic. Corey Stoll too. And little Gandolfini has so much of his dad in him. I liked the Dickie story but it wasn’t anywhere as ****ed up as Tony’s family story from the series. Perhaps the Junior interplay could have been stronger to meet the burden of that deep knowledge of Junior from the show. Dickie just seemed a bit shallow compared to the rest of the characters. Even Christopher as a baby has seasons of character development. Dickie seemed like an awesome guest star in an episode. It’s not a huge gripe. I really did enjoy it

What the hell does that solve? We don't "finally" know shit. He did that on purpose. He wanted to leave it as he is dead, no he's not. All these years later he's still being ambiguous. As the creative guy, he can chose how he wants it to end. We get to tell him forever how much we hate his choice.

That wasn't a choice that needed to be made. We didn't need Tony to die or live happily ever after. He set it up with all the people coming in and out, the dramatic music swelling, Tony looking up, everyone seemingly happy, we are expecting something eventful to happen and then completely dark.

People thought their cable had went out because it was such a weird choice. They called their cable companies demanding to know how the show ended.

One of the worst choices ever to end a popular show.

I think he set it up the cliffhanger/non-ending to put pressure on HBO for a Soparanos movie.

Sucked. Came for a Sopranos movie, and watched some weak social commentary on race relations.

It's getting shit on big time on Reddit. I enjoyed it for the most part, but can Hollywood produce one single script that doesn't revolve around how evil white people are? It's getting tiresome.

Wha?

Really?

Just one?

But perhaps you mean something new and not a long standing character?

But Janx... that is a Ryan Reynolds comedy, of course it won't be about how evil white people are!

Ok Janx... I'm not talking about super hero movies. I'm talking about real films.

/all movies currently showing in theaters

Agree. The ending was bullshit. It wasn't clever or creative. It was just lazy and dumb.

Beauford with that particular critique gives me genuine pause, think I'll rent it for $5 instead of paying full boat plus popcorn and sides

Movie was ok...that's it.

Best parts were the Silvio and Paulie impressions from the guys playing the young versions.

I kept seeing all these articles touting the return of Ray Liotta to the mobster genre...


Also, future mob movies should be banned from using Rolling Stones music. That's a Scorsese thing. He owns that.

Okay, I was obviously exaggerating...but my point still remains. If you haven't noticed the trend the last few years you have your head in the sand.

And it's not just movies, it's shows as well...probably even moreso.

I think I get you. You are done seeing white people portrayed in a negative light and would like to see them portrayed in a positive light and standing up for the little guy.

If you want to see white people being kind to others and being uplifted as good people:

It's on HBO Max if you have that service (might be the best streaming service). That said, it feels like a major bait and switch. Aside from my other critiques about this being a race commentary, this also feels like a Dickie origin story, and not a Tony one. The whole thing is superfluous and unnecessary, and feels like a complete waste. I know folks criticized El Camino for being unnecessary to Breaking Bad, but this turns those sentiments up to an 11 for anyone that was a fan of the Sopranos.

David Chase Signs HBO Overall Deal, Opening Door to Potentially More ‘Sopranos’

The 'Sopranos' creator strikes a five-year deal to create new content for HBO Max.

Chase has inked a five-year, first-look deal with the company to develop content for HBO, HBO Max and Warner Bros. Pictures Group.

To be clear, there is no statement yet on what Chase’s new content might be. But the deal announcement coincides with Chase’s long-awaited Sopranos prequel movie, The Many Saints of Newark, hitting theaters and HBO Max. Chase said in a recent interview he “might” be open to making a sequel to the film, and Many Saints director Alan Taylor likewise told The Hollywood Reporter that Chase (pictured above on the set of Many Saints with Taylor) said “maybe” when asked about mining more content out of the New Jersey mob scene.

Many Saints primarily follows Tony Soprano’s uncle Dickie Moltisanti (Alessandro Nivola), while the film’s teenage Tony Soprano (Michael Gandolfini, son of the original show’s star James Gandolfini) is mainly an observer. The film’s conclusion leaves viewers with the impression that there could be more story that focuses on young Tony as he enters the world of organized crime.

“David Chase is one of the most gifted storytellers working in the film and television industry,” said Casey Bloys, chief content officer of HBO and HBO Max. “HBO has had a long and celebrated creative partnership with David, and this deal affords us a wonderful opportunity to continue this relationship at HBO and HBO Max.”

Added Toby Emmerich, chairman of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, “David has a singular voice and is a gifted writer and filmmaker. His work is pure and authentic, and highly compelling for a broad audience. The critical reception of The Many Saints of Newark speaks to David’s mastery of both film and television. We are thrilled to keep David in the Warner Bros. family.”

The Sopranos has enjoyed a resurgence in streaming popularity during the pandemic, with a younger generation of viewers discovering the series for the first time. The series premiered in 1999 and ran for six seasons. Many Saints is available now on HBO Max.

You've effectively killed any interest I had in this, thanks a lot!!1

Sorry bud. Don't just take my word for it: it's getting slammed on IMDB and Rottentomatoes by user reviews.

Thats a shame, definitely expected better from Chase

If you're a big Sopranos fan you should still give it a shot. This seems to be a love it or hate it movie with not much in between.

I don't need to see movies like that either, just anything that doesn't go out of its way to point out how evil white people are. If race relations are the main plot of the movie/show its one thing, but damn near every other thing I watch has to throw in subtle jabs that have nothing to do with the overall plot. I get it, we're all pieces of shit and we're the only race who's racist. :rolleyes:

I've watched every single episode at least once, huge fan

But if the story is primarily about Dickie Moltisanti, with a bunch of racial justice themes shoehorned in... I'll still watch it, but won't be in a big hurry to do so

When a liberal like Beauford is basically saying "the racial stuff seemed out of place and heavy handed" its probably pretty bad

We will get right to telling you the origin story of Dickie (that's right you schmucks!), but first let's take 20 minutes to remind you how much America was sucky for black folks back in the day. Come on, remeeeeember.

So what you want is the vast majority of media that is out there. :spock:

I looked through this list (https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com...1-best-movies/) and found, perhaps, two movies on the list that "goes out of its way to point out how evil white people are".

Yeah man I just don't see the need for that side story in a gangster drama

But I DID enjoy the Master Genius episodes, where it turns out Hesh had ripped off tons of black artists back in the day... that kinda stuff definitely happened, and it made for an interesting story

I didn't get that at all. Maybe because I don't give a shit about social commentary and people of all colors were equally despicable in the movie? Name one character that was a hero. I surely cannot.

Oh come on, the credits rolled 15 seconds later. Do you actually know anyone that did that or did you just read that in Entertainment Weekly?
