Director Alan Taylor will premiere The Many Saints of Newark, a prequel film set against the backdrop of the 1967 race riots in the namesake New Jersey city, 14 years after David Chase’s landmark HBO mafia drama was cut to black for good.
The Many Saints of Newark aims to tell the story of a young Anthony Soprano. In the movie, Anthony is played by the late, great James Gandolfini’s real-life son, Michael Gandolfini. The movie follows him as he navigates his way through the extremely powerful DiMeo crime family’s rivalries.
The film promises encounters with emerging powers in the increasingly divided city, with Chase himself on board as a producer and a script by Lawrence Konner, this is bound to be a good one.
What is The Many Saints of Newark about?
The Many Saints of Newark is set in 1967, at a period of political and civil unrest in which the race riot in Newark was one of 159 across the country during “The Long Hot Summer of 1967.” Young Anthony Soprano is growing up amid one of Newark’s most turbulent periods, maturing into a man just as rival gangsters begin to challenge the all-powerful DiMeo crime family’s grip on the increasingly racially divided city.
Dickie Moltisanti, the uncle he idolises, gets caught up in the changing times and tries to balance his career and personal obligations.
We watch as his uncle’s sway over his naïve nephew aids in the development of the adolescent into the all-powerful crime boss we’ll come to know as Tony Soprano.
