    Thought i'd set up a thread about this.

    The Soprano's Prequel is in pre production,starring James Gandolfini's Son Michael.

    Named, The Many Saints Of Newark.

    Set in the 60's and will feature some of the cast maybe playing other characters in makeup.

    The guy looks the spitting image of his dad,and hopefully can live up to his acting ability in this show,lot of pressure here on him,especially since he aint been in anything really at all.


    Anyways, any info/pics etc post in here for all the big Soprano's fans.

    It's confirmed. Michael Gandolfini will star in The Many Saints of Newark, a prequel to the hit HBO TV series The Sopranos.

    According to Deadline, Michael will portray a younger version of Tony Soprano, the fictional crime boss originally played by his late father, James Gandolfini.

    "It’s a profound honor to continue my dad’s legacy while stepping into the shoes of a young Tony Soprano," Gandolfini said in a statement to Deadline. "I'm thrilled that I'm going to have the opportunity to work with David Chase and the incredible company of talent he has assembled for The Many Saints of Newark."

    The outlet reports Michael nabbed the role following an "extensive audition process." The team behind the film ultimately chose the 19-year-old actor because of "his screen presence, mastery of Tony's mannerisms," and, of course, his resemblance to the iconic anti-hero. Michael joins a cast that includes Alessandro Nivola, Jon Bernthal, Vera Farmiga, Billy Magnussen, and Corey Stoll.

    Many Saints will be set during the Newark race riots of the 1960s, and will focus on Tony's mentor Dickie Moltisanti (Nivola). The film will be directed by Alan Taylor, with a script by Sopranos creator David Chase and series writer Lawrence Konner. Nicole Lambert and Marcus Viscidi have signed on to executive produce.

    James Gandolfini played the * Tony throughout The Sopranos' eight-year run. He went on to win multiple awards for the role, including a Golden Globe and multiple Emmys. The actor died unexpectedly in 2013 at the age of 51.

    Never realised Jon Bernthal and Vera Farmiga were part of the cast. Lovely stuff.
