As The Sopranos prequel film, The Many Saints of Newark, moves forward, series creator David Chase has started sharing some of his creative motivations for exploring this very specific time in the history of Newark, New Jersey.
The idea of Chase even doing a movie set in the world of The Sopranos came as a surprise, as he felt the show’s legacy stood on its own.
Veteran Sopranos director Alan Taylor will be helming the project, based on a script from Chase and Boardwalk Empire scribe Lawrence Konner.
I was interested in exploring that,” said Chase, who’s producing the prequel film.
