THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK – Official Trailer – Warner Bros. UK & Ireland

New Line Cinema’s “The Many Saints of Newark” is the much-anticipated feature film prequel to David Chase’s groundbreaking, award-winning HBO drama series “The Sopranos.”
Young Anthony Soprano is growing up in one of the most tumultuous eras in Newark’s history, becoming a man just as rival gangsters begin to rise up and challenge the all-powerful DiMeo crime family’s hold over the increasingly race-torn city. Caught up in the changing times is the uncle he idolizes, Dickie Moltisanti, who struggles to manage both his professional and personal responsibilities—and whose influence over his nephew will help make the impressionable teenager into the all-powerful mob boss we’ll later come to know: Tony Soprano.

“The Many Saints of Newark” stars Alessandro Nivola (“Disobedience,” “American Hustle”), Tony winner Leslie Odom Jr. (Broadway’s “Hamilton,” “Murder on the Orient Express”), Jon Bernthal (“Baby Driver,” “The Wolf of Wall Street”), Corey Stoll (“First Man,” “Ant-Man”), Michael Gandolfini (TV’s “The Deuce”), Billy Magnussen (“Game Night,” “The Big Short”), Michela De Rossi (“Boys Cry,” TV’s “The Rats”), John Magaro (“The Finest Hours,” “Not Fade Away”), with Emmy winner Ray Liotta (TV’s “Shades of Blue,” “Goodfellas”) and Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga (“Up in the Air,” “The Conjuring” films).

Alan Taylor (“Thor: The Dark World”), who won an Emmy for his directing work on “The Sopranos,” is helming the film from a screenplay by series creator David Chase & Lawrence Konner, based on characters created by Chase. Chase, Konner and Nicole Lambert are producing the film, with Michael Disco, Marcus Viscidi, Toby Emmerich and Richard Brener serving as executive producers.

Taylor’s behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Kramer Morgenthau (“Creed II,” “Thor: The Dark World”), production designer Bob Shaw (“The Wolf of Wall Street,” “The Sopranos”), Oscar-nominated editor Christopher Tellefsen (“Moneyball,” “A Quiet Place”) and costume designer Amy Westcott (“The Wrestler,” “Black Swan”).

“The Many Saints of Newark” was shot on location in New Jersey and New York, and several beloved characters from the original series that inspired the film are featured in the movie. During its six-season run, “The Sopranos”—widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential television drama series of all time—was honored with 21 Primetime Emmy Awards, five Golden Globe Awards, and two Peabody Awards, to name only a portion.

New Line Cinema Presents, In Association with Home Box Office, a Chase Films Production, “The Many Saints of Newark.” The film is being distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.

James Gandolfini, wherever he is, must be very proud of his son, this is great.

[nicholassithole]

When he said "As far as your nephew goes..." I expected him to continue with "he never had the makings of a varsity athlete"

[a.utobotm]

—— Michael Gandolfini literally, LITERALLY pulled off that iconic sneer his father did when in the sopranos . He looks so much like his father that it’s astounding .

[JtBleuWriter]

The actors are nailing it. Livia, oh my god. Tony's first phrase. Dickie's presence. And the five guys walking down the street. My mind is ablaze and Artie Bucco has no idea who started it.

[championdesigns]

Right now it’s called “‘The Many Saints of Newark: a Sopranos Story” but I’m thinking just “Cleaver”.

[hoodyfrog]

"No offense, John but I got an IQ of 136. Its been tested" - Tony Soprano

[cultofpersonality]

I want to walk into the theaters and scream "WHATTA YA HEAR, WHATTA YA SAY?!"

[AussiePat]

"The results tell us, he's a leader." "They also tell us, he doesn't have the makings of a varsity athlete."

[SPARKLEPANDALIFE]

Such a shame James Gandolfini isn't around to see his son star in this he'd be so proud

[illlcrazymethod]

My only issue with this movie is that it’s a movie and not a limited series or something because I know after I finish watching this I’ll wish I could watch another 10 hours of this...

[nonamenoname]

Just when I thought I was out. They pull me back in.

[tdevil]

When Tony said “what did you say”

Goosebumps

[kylewillis]

Hope I see uncle junior not face his friends after Tony missing that fly ball.

[channing]

All I want to know is will we see Richie Aprile get the jacket off Rocky DeMeo??

[josephballard]

20 years in da can. I wanted a Soprano's spinoff. I compromised, I settled for a prequel instead

[giovannidiaz]

Tony ruined Chrissy's life, Dickie ruined Tony's. This adds so much more depth to the series and explains Tony's paternal feelings and latent rage towards his nephew. David Chase is a genius. I can't wait.

[_harrington_]

2:11 that fade into the original theme was freshhh

[mariyatakeuchi]

this may have the makings of a varsity prequel

[IcedOutCheney]

Imagine the movie opening with the theme song I get goosebumps just thinking about it.

[thatONEmachine]

Yes he looks like his dad. But more importantly. He is nailing Tony Soprano's somewhat nasaly voice.
