The prequel film to the critically acclaimed HBO series The Sopranos is moving forward at full steam with the expansion of its cast to include Oscar and Emmy-nominated actress Vera Farmiga (The Conjuring 2) and The Punisher‘s Jon Bernthal, according to Variety.
Farmiga can also be seen in the upcoming monster blockbuster Godzilla: King of the Monsters, which is set to hit theaters on May 31.
Chase is reportedly maintaining heavy creative control over the project, having handpicked Nivola for his role.
Long-time Sopranos alum Alan Taylor will be directing the 60s-set The Many Saints of Newark, which was written by original creator David Chase along with Lawrence Konner.
