Get ready for excitement! The first glimpse of “The Many Saints of Newark” has arrived, and it looks absolutely stunning. If you’ve been reminiscing about that unforgettable night on June 10, 2007, when we last saw Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano in that diner, you’re in for a treat. This highly-anticipated prequel to the legendary HBO series The Sopranos is set to hit theaters later this year, but the trailer is so captivating, it will keep us satisfied during the wait.
The trailer opens with an older Tony narrating, “When I was a kid, guys like me were brought up to follow codes,” and trust me, it instantly gave me chills. We see a young Tony Soprano getting into a scuffle, and I mean it when I say it sent shivers down my spine. The actor portraying young Tony is none other than Michael Gandolfini, the son of the late James Gandolfini, and it’s a perfect fit.
Young Gandolfini embodies the role, echoing his father’s voice, mannerisms, and undeniable screen presence. The story will explore Tony’s youth as he gets mentored by his uncle Dickie Moltisanti (yes, the father of Christopher Moltisanti) while navigating the “family business” against the backdrop of the Newark riots. According to Variety, the film showcases a band of gangsters challenging the DiMeo crime family’s reign over the Jersey underworld.
Produced by Sopranos creator David Chase and directed by Alan Taylor—who also directed several episodes of the series—the trailer captures the gritty essence of the original show beautifully. Fans of The Sopranos will remember how Tony played a similar mentor role to Dickie’s son, Christopher, making it intriguing to witness the development of those relationships and understand Tony’s loyalty to Christopher.
And let’s not forget Vera Farmiga’s remarkable portrayal of a younger Livia Soprano. She truly nails Livia’s toxic parenting style, particularly in a scene where a school counselor tells Livia that, despite Tony’s lack of effort, he shows exceptional intelligence. “The results tell us he’s a leader,” the counselor states while Livia rolls her eyes. Farmiga’s version of Livia also carries a bit of a Carmella vibe, which is an interesting touch.
If you haven’t yet experienced The Sopranos, I highly recommend binge-watching it now so you’ll be ready for Many Saints when it releases on October 1 in theaters and on HBO Max.
