Great photos with the article! The DailyMail intro continues here:
The Sopranos are back... but have been recast as their younger selves for a prequel film.
Set nearly 40 years before the HBO series aired, The Many Saints of Newark reimagines the iconic mob group in their younger years against the backdrop of the 1967 race riots in Newark, New Jersey.
The exact details of the film – which will be released in theatres and HBO Max on October 1 – remain unclear, but will see the likes of Paulie, Junior and Livia help mold Tony into the hardened criminal we later come to know.
The Many Saints of Newark... will involve the rivalry between the powerful DiMeo crime family and the several rival organisations rising to challenge them, with Tony's uncle Dickie tied up in the brewing conflict.
The series was plagued with pushbacks due to the coronavirus pandemic. The prequel was slated for a 2020 release but will now be released on October 1 in theaters and simultaneously on HBO Max.

We’ll finally find out if Tony really didn’t have the makings of a varsity athlete.

I just got done watching the entire series, I started a few months back, and watched an average of an episode a day.
Best Show Ever!

I hope Mike makes note of the last four letters of his surname.

Used to think so, but for my money Breaking Bad edges it out

Maybe. Is it “woke” now?I would guess not particularly, since it was filmed before the Floyd thing, and the release held back because of the shutdown.

I want to see who was hotter then, Carmela or Charmaine.
Frankly, given the choice I would have gone with Charmaine.

Coming from HBO I’m afraid it will be very woke.

I will say the trailer looks good. Prequels end up crap too many times.

The DailyMail makes massive numbers of mistakes. In this article, they spelled the name of
Vera Farmiga incorrectly.

Well, remember that Godfather II was a prequel. Let’s hope...

Tony couldn’t have been a teenager in 1967, so the riots can’t be that big a part of the movie, I think it will mostly take place in the 1970s.
