David Chase Revives ‘The Sopranos’ With New Line Prequel Movie ‘The Many Saints Of Newark’

New Line has purchased the screenplay The Many Saints of Newark, the working title for a feature prequel of The Sopranos that is set in the era of the Newark riots in the 60s. That was a time when the African-Americans and the Italians of Newark were at each other’s throats, and amongst the gangsters of each group, those conflicts became especially lethal.

Holy shyt!

Chase finally returning to expand The Sopranos lore will be welcome news to the legions who still feel that his HBO series is the greatest of all time.

Some of the beloved characters from the series will appear in the film. I couldn’t get any more information about the plot, but the time period indicates there will be room for Tony Soprano’s father, Giovanni “Johnny Boy,” the former captain of the Soprano crew (played in flashbacks by Joseph Siravo), and a younger version of his wife Livia (played indelibly in the show’s first season by Nancy Marchand), and Tony’s uncle Junior, played by Chianese.

Tears of joy, what did we do to deserve this

This came outta nowhere (for me I ain't that deep in the film world)

I’m a’ try to temper my excitement on this, but it’s ain’t gonna gonna be easy. Hopin David Chase didn’t agree to anything until he knew his co-written script was quality.

Either way, I’m a’ be a mess when little Anthony comes on screen.

We'll see what this ends up being. But this feels like they are throwing the word "prequel" around too loosely.

My grandparents lived through the Newark riots and have told me stories so I'm not really looking forward to it.

Of course a sopranos return had to be based on a race war. Like they almost ruined the last seasons wit that gay agenda bullshyt

Ill pass

You're wild. Imagine thinking the Sopranos was "too PC"
