     David Chase is finally ready to return to the New Jersey turf of his iconic creation The Sopranos. 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.

     

    The script was written by Chase and Lawrence Konner, the prolific screen and television writer whose credits include The Sopranos.'

     

    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.

    Sure, why not?

      Chase will serve as producer as well as co-writer, and he will be involved in selecting a director.

        Really looking forward to this.

        Sopranos IMHO might be the best single TV series ever.

         

        The Ray Liotta casting is a nice bookend with his "Goodfellows" co star Lorraine Bracco having one of the biggest roles in the original series.

         

        I watched the 20th Anniversary reunion.

        Jamie Lynn Sigler  (Meadow Soprano) is still hot, but man, Paulie Walnuts has gotten old.
