Now Playing: CLEAN BANDIT & DEMI LOVATO - SOLO
James Gandolfini's Son Set To Play Young Tony In Sopranos Movie
This film is long overdue.
The Many Saints of Newark is the prequel movie to the classic HBO series The Sopranos. For all you fans out there you will be happy to hear the original creators will be heavily involved, including David Chase.
One of the most notable casted stars is James Gandolfini's very own son Michael. James Gandolfini's for the people who are not aware played Tony Soprano, one of the most iconic characters in television history. The film is set during the Newark riots of 1967, when the beating of an African-American taxi driver led to violent clashes on the streets of New Jersey.
Other notable mentions in terms of the cast includes Alessandro Nivola in the central role of Dickie Moltisanti, who is Christopher Moltisanti's father. Some of you may remember Alessandro as Billy in Jurassic Park III.
The cast also includes Corey Stoll and Billy Magnussen alongside Vera Farmiga and Jon Bernthal, who you may recognise from The Walking Dead and Netflix series The Punisher.
The question also remains on who will play Livia Soprano, the maternal figure that the series was hugely plotted around. Her relationship with her son Tony was always a difficult one, although it provided some classic scenes. Farmiga's role has not yet been released, so she may be playing Mrs Soprano.
Although it is still early days, we are for sure excited to see this movie. And if it is anything like the show we are in for a treat.
