Production

In June 2017, when addressing whether or not he would continue The Sopranos, creator David Chase ruled it out, but insinuated interest in a prequel to the series.[1] It was officially announced in March 2018 that a prequel film would be made, with Chase writing the screenplay.[2]

In July 2018, Alan Taylor, who previously directed episodes of the series, was hired to direct the film.[3] In November, Alessandro Nivola was cast to star in the film as Dickie Moltisanti, the father of Christopher Moltisanti.[4] In January 2019, Chase, while discussing the 20th anniversary of the series, revealed that a young Tony Soprano would appear in the film.[5] Jon Bernthal, Vera Farmiga, Corey Stoll and Billy Magnussen were added to the cast that same month.[6][7] Michael Gandolfini, son of James Gandolfini, was cast in the role of young Tony.[8][9] Ray Liotta joined the cast in February,[10] with John Magaro, Leslie Odom Jr., and Michela De Rossi joining in March.[11][12][13]

Principal photography began on April 3, 2019, in Brooklyn and moved to Newark on May 7.[14][15][16]

Release

It is scheduled for release on September 25, 2020.[17]
