If we see a fit bird one of us will say

 

"Born again Christian"

 

The other will say: "Oh yeah?"

If we hear a gang of lads or whatever acting like twats we'll say: "and you thought the Germans were classless pieces of shit."

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

 

EXCLUSIVE: 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.

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. The groundbreaking show ran for six seasons from 1999 – 2007. It put HBO on the map, established the market for DVD sales of popular series, and won 21 Primetime Emmy Awards, five Golden Globe Awards, and Peabody Awards for its first two seasons. It launched the stars of a slew of actors and revived others, most notably the late James Gandolfini, Edie Falco, Steven Van Zandt, Lorraine Bracco, Michael Imperioli, Dominic Chianese, Steve Schirripa and on and on.

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.

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

This is a real coup for Warner Bros Pictures Group chairman Toby Emmerich.

“David is a masterful storyteller and we, along with our colleagues at HBO, are thrilled that he has decided to revisit, and enlarge, the Soprano universe in a feature film,” Emmerich said.

Chase’s last feature was the 2010 critically acclaimed Paramount film Not Fade Away. Chase Films’s Nicole Lambert will be executive producer.

Chase’s deal was made by his UTA agents Peter Benedek and Andrew Cannava, and attorney Michael Gendler of Gendler and Kelly. Konner is also repped by UTA.

Interesting that moltisanti translates as many saints

[Scott_M]

When's it out? I've booking the day off now.

[rubble-rouser]

This should be great. Loads of young Vito getting bummed. Anything like this has to stand in its own two feet and not be an Easter Egg fest. Better Call Saul gets the balance just right - a show in its own right, not a prequel.

I guess I'm the only one sceptical about this. It may turn out to be great, it may not, but the fact Chase is not doing a project which can stand on its own strengths rather then using a Sopranos association as leverage does not bode well for me.

 

Was that Not Fade Away film of his any good?

[littletedwest]

Back on sky box sets. Still think the blue comet is the best episode of anything I've seen

[TheBitch]

 

Catching? Not pitching?

 

The news inspired me to watch some episodes last night. 

 

In 6B at the Cleaver after party where Tony asks Phil: "How was Florida?" and he replies "Hot and sticky, like my balls"

 

Been here since 2010. Can't believe I haven't been using that. Could have been dining out on that one for years.

 

I'm sure Section uses this line in real life.

Just when I thought I was out...

[VladimirIlyich]

I'm not sure about the wisdom of a 'prequel.' It could end up being a classic or his version of 'Rock n Chips' the appalling Fools and Horses prequel.

 

BTW,I saw David Proval aka Ritchie Aprille crop up in an episode of Aquarius the other day and he looks pretty awful. Old and fat and nothing like his Sopranos perfermances.

I gave out mortgage broker a bottle of Glenfidich and said: "you looked thirsty last time I saw you."

[RedKnight]

 

That line was put in because a guy in the mafia told David Chase that he loved the show but "a Don doesn't wear shorts."

[Kevin D]

1:09-1:11. "He's lucky I didnt punch his fucking lights out"

 

 

 

 

 

 

Still laugh at that. Noah was remarkably skilled at being insufferable.

Meadow looks a bit like a porn star that coincidentally goes by the name of Isabella Soprano
