“The Sopranos” are reborn in the first full length trailer for “The Many Saints of Newark,” a film that will follow a young Tony Soprano as he’s introduced to the mob…
“When I was a kid, guys like me were brought up to follow codes.”
Those words spoke by the late, great James Gandolfini in his award winning role as Tony Soprano opens the first full length trailer for “The Many Saints of Newark,” which will be released on October 1 in theaters and HBO Max.
“The Sopranos” prequel comes from series creator David Chase with director Alan Taylor behind the camera after he was a mainstay on the hugely popular HBO series for many years.
The new trailer introduces plenty of fan favorite characters from the original series but with some new faces playing those parts as well as the introduction of Tony’s mentor Dickie Moltisanti, who was often mentioned in “The Sopranos” but never seen before now. Of course, Dickie was also Christopher Moltisanti’s father on the series.
Here’s the full synopsis for “The Many Saints of Newark”:
“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).
