The Many Saints of Newark

'The Many Saints of Newark' is about the youth of the famous New Jersey gangster, Tony Soprano. It is a prequel to the HBO series, 'The Sopranos', and the script was written by David Chase, creator of the production. The film is directed by Alan Taylor ('Game of Thrones). The cast includes actors Alessandro Nivola, Jon Bernthal, Vera Farmiga, John Magaro, Billy Magnussen, Ray Liotta, Michael Gandolfini, Corey Stoll, Leslie Odom Jr., Chris LaPanta, Joey Diaz, Nick Vallelonga, Claudette Lalí, Alex Morf, Michael Iacono, Lara Barbieri, Faron Salisbury, Gabriella Piazza, Matthew Iacono, Daryl Edwards, David M Sandoval Jr., Kent Sladyk, Sasha Morfaw, Scott Eliasoph, Andrew Polk, Kathryn Kates, Lizzy Plimpton, Spenser Granese and Lesli Margherita. The film has garnered very good reviews from renowned media such as 'The Hollywood Reporter': " ' The Many Saints of Newark' is an absorbing detour into the family backstory on which the David Chase series was built. Efficiently directed by Alan Taylor, who won an Emmy for his work on the HBO series, and written by Chase with Lawrence Konner, the film, for better or worse, defies expectations of what a prequel to 'The Sopranos' would appear to promise. As a character, Dickie in many ways mirrors the older Tony from 'The Sopranos' ".
