New trailer for the Tony Soprano/Dickie Moltisanti saga ‘The Many Saints of Newark’
“I want money.”
Warner Bros. has released a new, expanded look at The Many Saints of Newark, the much-anticipated prequel to HBO’s megahit The Sopranos, examining the early years of television’s most legendary gangster.
Young Anthony Soprano is growing up in one of the most tumultuous eras in Newark’s history, becoming a man just as rival gangsters begin to rise up and challenge the all-powerful DiMeo crime family’s hold over the increasingly race-torn city. Caught up in the changing times is the uncle he idolizes, Dickie Moltisanti, who struggles to manage both his professional and personal responsibilities—and whose influence over his nephew will help make the impressionable teenager into the all-powerful mob boss we’ll later come to know: Tony Soprano.
The Many Saints of Newark stars Alessandro Nivola (Disobedience, American Hustle), Tony winner Leslie Odom Jr. (Broadway’s Hamilton, Murder on the Orient Express), Jon Bernthal (Baby Driver, The Wolf of Wall Street), Corey Stoll (First Man, Ant-Man), Michael Gandolfini (TV’s The Deuce), Billy Magnussen (Game Night, The Big Short), Michela De Rossi (Boys Cry, TV’s The Rats), John Magaro (The Finest Hours, Not Fade Away), with Emmy winner Ray Liotta (TV’s Shades of Blue, Goodfellas”) and Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga (Up in the Air, The Conjuring films).
Alan Taylor (Game of Thrones, Mad Men), who won an Emmy for his directing work on The Sopranos, directs from a screenplay by series creator David Chase & Lawrence Konner, based on characters created by Chase. Chase, Konner and Nicole Lambert are producing the film, with Michael Disco, Marcus Viscidi, Toby Emmerich and Richard Brener serving as executive producers.
Warner Bros. will release The Many Saints of Newark in theaters and on HBO Max October 1.
