Who stars in The Many Saints of Newark, and when will it release? Directed by Alan Taylor, the highly-anticipated 2021 movie is a prequel to David Chase's HBO series The Sopranos. Set in the 1960s, the storyline follows the life experience of young Tony Soprano, originally portrayed by the late James Gandolfini.
New Line Cinema greenlit The Many Saints of Newark in March 2018, a full 11 years after The Sopranos' cryptic series finale. From 1999 to 2007, the HBO series explored the dynamics of Tony Sopranos' personal and professional life, most notably his on-going conversations with therapist Jennifer Melfi (Lorraine Bracco). The seventh and final season heavily deconstructs Tony's mindset, and concludes with a cut to black that will forever spark debates about the fate of Gandolfini's character. The long-running series spawned books, a video game, many theories, merchandise and restrospectives.
The Sopranos: Why David Chase Changed The Original Ending
Chase co-wrote The Many Saints of Newark, in collaboration with Lawrence Konner, and the film will presumably explain the origins of Tony's deep-rooted fears. Several of the original HBO characters have been confirmed for The Sopranos prequel movie, with Michael Gandolfini starring as a younger version of his father's character. Here's everything we know about The Many Saints of Newark.
The Many Saints of Newark will premiere on September 24, 2021. The film originally received a September 25, 2020 release date but was pushed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Many Saints of Newark will have a theatrical run, and will also be available on HBO Max for the first month after its premiere.
The Many Saints of Newark stars Michael Gandolfini as Tony Soprano - the character his late father portrayed in the HBO series. Gandolfini is best known for his roles as Joey Dwyer in the series The Deuce and Cousin Joe in the 2021 movie Cherry. Several other characters from The Sopranos will be featured in The Many Saints of Newark, including Junior Soprano (Corey Stoll), Johnny Boy Soprano (Jon Bernthal), Paulie "Walnuts" Gualtieri (Billy Magnussen), Silvio Dante (John Magaro), and Livia Soprano (Vera Farmiga). In addition, Alessandro Nivola has a supporting role as Dickie Moltisanti, the father of The Sopranos antihero Christopher Moltisanti. The Many Saints of Newark cast also includes Leslie Odom Jr. (Hamilton), Ray Liotta (Goodfellas), and Joey Diaz (The Longest Yard).
The Many Saints of Newark centers on the younger years of Tony Soprano. For a dramatic backdrop, the film examines the conflict between the DiMeo crime family and local rivals, and builds to the 1967 race riots in Newark, New Jersey. Based on the available information, The Many Saints of Newark will show why Tony Soprano became involved in organized crime, and how his experiences affect the storyline in The Sopranos.
HBO hasn't released an official trailer for The Many Saints of Newark. In January 2021, an HBO Max teaser clip shows Antonio "Tony" Soprano in a physical altercation with another character. A full trailer for The Many Saints of Newark will likely be released during the early summer of 2021.
