Sopranos Prequel Trailer for “Many Saints of Newark” Plays Up Young Tony, to Connect Audience with Film

Share

The trailer is here for David Chase’s “Many Saints of Newark,” the prequel to “The Sopranos.”

The trailer plays up Michael Gandolfini as young tony Soprano and starts with a voice over from the late James Gandolfini.

I’m told that the trailer doesn’t adequately portray the movie in its fullness as Alessandro Nivola and Vera Farmiga are the real stars, as Dickie Moltisanti and Livia Soprano. But I guess this is the way to bring back the TV audience, which is fine. I hope the next trailer shows more of the actual film. I can’t wait to see it!

And yes, “The Sopranos” theme song, “Woke Up This Morning,” is heard. A pleasure.
