The Sopranos Creator David Chase and Director Alan Taylor join the cast in discussing the beloved icons and new faces of #TheManySaintsOfNewark, only in cinemas November 4.
I read somewhere that he actually spent a whole day with Tony Sirico, studying his mannerisms, little gestures, and anything else he could use to nail the part.
How the actor that plays Dickie Moltisanti isn’t a young Richie Aprile I shall never know. Haven’t seen the movie but I assumed that was who he was playing.
Only saw the movie yesterday but literally my exact thoughts the entire time. Only problem is he’s too tall. Then again Vera Farmiga is 10 cm (4 inches) shorter than Nancy Marchand was.
Agreed. It wasn’t an awful movie but could have been so much better. I liked Dickie’s character but they focused way to much on him, his father, and girlfriend. Should have focused more on Tony joining the mob life.
I had that perception too while watching the sopranos, but Steven Van Zandt was 11 years older than Gandolfini in real life so it's not too much of an immersion breaker that they've aged Sil up a bit.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 yeah actually now that you mention it that makes no sense whatsoever. Tony is like 39-40 at the start of the series in 1999 and Chris's birthday is in July 26th 1969. For Tony being 17 years older than him to make any sense Chris would have to be 22-23 at the start which would put his birth year at 1977-78 OR Tony would have to be 47-48 at the start of the series and would be 55- 56 at the end of it.
Just by your comments, I can say with the utmost certainty that none of yall have watched the Sopranos, this movies was a joke, it was an SNL sketch and not the good SNL sketches from the 90s but the current 2015 onward horrible, unfunny sketches.
Tony was not a bad person because bad stuff happened to him. He chose that life. He had other opportunities. He was going to college then dropped out to pursue a life of murder and stealing.
The cast for the most part was really great. One thing I don’t really understand here is how the guy playing Pussy says the hardest part of the role is getting down the way Pussy says things but he has literally less than a minute of screen time. Actually I think him saying his name was his only line.
That is true but there could be more lines that just didn’t make it to the final cut. Not to mention even with just one line, there would still need to be a lot of practice and rehearsal just so that one appearance is done properly
This was a good movie but it should have been a mini series so that we could see the card game Johnny’s death the rise of tony and the side plot with Harold. All this would have been better if it was a 7-8 hour mini series
@@danielueblacker9118 the second I saw Silvio I almost cried , I realized what David chase did and he sold his fans out trying to stay relevant for today's society
Need one more prequel, where Corrado Sr. arrives at Ellis, raises his boys, and ends in the signature blackout after Livia finds out she’s pregnant a second time. Wrote itself. Pick it up, Chase.
“Okay, we have all the parts cast. I think we nailed it! Time to start shooting.” “How about the story and script?” “Eh, we have some random ideas written on these cocktail napkins, we can put something together with these!”
sil was the worst part of the many saints david chase forgot that sil is around tonys age not 15 yrs older then him and second sil didn t wear a wig never once did they ever say anything about sil had a wig in sopanros and never see anything hinting to that yes i know the guy playing sil wore a wig for the show but sil didn t wear it on the show the many saints could have been alot better then what it was
@@johnpauldriskill8737 yes in many saints he is older but if you watch the sopranos they are around same age sil was like 3 years older than tony even said it on fan pages before many saints sil was only like 3 years older than tony not 10 years like in many saint now cause of making him alot older than tony now shit don t add up in the sopranos
@@johnpauldriskill8737 dude do me a favor just drop it your not getting it sorry but its going way over your head ok im not talking about actors im talking about the character they are playing ok one last time on the sopranos the mean show sil was only a few years older than tony they talk about being kids together then do you remember ralph telling jackie jr that when they was kids him tony sil and his dad had their own lil crew and tony asking sil hey remember when my dads had the card game when we was kids and they use to watch thru a crack in door and sil says yes jr would catch them and chase them down street all that was said in sopranos then in many saints sil is alot older then tony don t add up and i see what your doing cause i don t spell good on well its fing youtube comments who cares about spelling if your a grown up and can t figure out what im saying than than dont read my comments move on i have right to speak my mind just like rest of you people who talk shit about how someone spells not thinking maybe guy has a problem reading and writing but anyways move on maybe i can t spell but im smart enough to pick up on how chase f uped on sils age on the many saints unlike some i can think of
@@HOTD108_”original video animation” which is for Japanese anime where they release something like a movie for a t.v. show but it’s often unrelated to the plot. So not really a true prequel. It felt disconnected from the main show.
I think the cast was great. There was some inconsistencies with age. Tony seemed like he was roughly the same age as Pussy and Sil in the show but in the movie he was clearly younger. Overall I really enjoyed the movie. I think a Sopranos prequel mini series is necessary at this point tho. They gave enough stories of their youth in the original and I think you have more than enough plot points to make one.
Silvio looks at least 10 years older than Tony in the show fym. I think by season 4-5 Tony is 42 and Sil definitely does not look like he’s in his early 40s
Sil was the biggest offender to me. They made him out to be the loser of the group and he was too old. They talk about how Tony, Sil, Ralphie and Jackie grew up together- but Ralphie wasn’t even in the movie, Jackie was barely in it and Sil was a senior citizen.
@@gersonlinares2307 my gf watched the series with me last summer (her first time, my like 100th time) and she kept saying how "that guy is like a cartoon character" whenever Silvio was on screen LOL. She still loved the show though.
That movie was good we need part 2 we wanna see when & how tony earned his bones to become the Don he was like 46 when the show started that's a long gap fill it in show how he met the wiseguys
I really liked John Magaro’s take on Silvio. I found his slightly effeminate nonchalance quite frightening, even if others compared it to an ‘SNL skit’.
Ok, as a fan, don’t. The movie is good, I liked it, but you need to watch the Sopranos to get the most of it. Not only so the Characters are fleshed out, but a lot of how the screenplay is written is in The Sopranos style. Twist ending and plot points that are unresolved. If you watch the show then you’re used to it and it’s good, if you never watched the show then it’s not a good starting point
Dickie Moltisonti should have been something to do with Ritchie Aprile, look they could be related more than to Chris. Agree with other comment a series would have been great! I liked it on the whole as I’ve watched sopranos so many times I got every nod to the main show which I’m sure went over a lot of peoples head
YES! When I was watching I was constantly thinking this guy looks like a young Richie Aprile. Could've been a much more interesting story relating to Sopranos as well
you gotta leave stories to the imagination sometimes. watching the series we never saw Johnny boy or dicky, what we knew was what the characters told us, and our imagination did the rest. this film had 'corny' written all over it
It isn't wrong to make prequels, but you have to meet a lot of expectations. If the actors can't sell a younger version of a beloved character, better not to make the movie in the first place.
It's not a prequel to The Sopranos. It's David Chase making a movie about race riots and writing Sopranos between the lines. It's George Lucas all over again, but without his massive gut.
I'd be fine with a Dickie Moltisanti movie, but this movie could not pick a lane and a lot of people had that problem I guess. Personally, everything with Ray Liotta and the girl he brought over was excessive. I wish they showed more of Tony growing up, maybe scenes with his cousin Tony and Chris at the ranch/farm thing, or maybe Tonys first kill of Willie Overall that we saw a little bit of in the show.
Funny how silvo shoots the African American guy in satins of Newark but it’s really just a reference of when him and Carlo killed fat dom but his wig never came off I guess they thought that would be funny
Cory Stoll was perfect casting for young Corrado Jr. perfect!but he was so missused, I thought the story was gonna be about him and Tony's dad, and Tony entering the world of crime, shame it went a different way...and badly
Enjoyed the movie but they could have done a better job with casting, I know at least 3 guys here on Long Island who could have done better it was like a parody 🤯
Paulie barely said anything in the movie, in the show I would almost go on to say that he was a loud mouth, it was so weird not seeing him say anything. Maybe good casting but bad writing geez this movie was stupid
The whole movie was like watching a Sopranos parody with a horrendous, directionless storyline. If you feel any different then you ain’t a real Sopranos fan
@@robertthomas2601 Maybe watch the actual show, commit to the craft then your opinions will mean something is what I'm getting at. The Sopranos is more than just a tv show. Its a religion and it looks like you've been missing church brother
thank you, well said and David wanted to put the Riots in there. if he wrote this movie with more of Tony's story and the others would have been great with no Riots. Then make a second movie with the crew and then write a full story with the Riots. Everyone then would have been happy and the combined stories very understood This movie was a failure.
"Right guys act like our movie is not shit" I swear to god. Breaking bad and bc saul are great. But this film with Aron Paul was meh. I do not even remember its name Same
Why go through all that effort to literally find his son who looked exactly like him only to show a few scenes. It should have shown more of "tony" It makes no sense. Whatsoever.
It was a load of crap... really badly acted and written... told absolutely nothing of Tony's story.... it felt like you had just turned on a random episode in a tv series... I believe James Gandolfini's son had about three lines.... seriously disappointed
THIS HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST LOAD OF BULLSHIT I'VE HEARD. I'm not sure if they're acting as if they're actually proud of one of the worst movie ever made, along with the worst acting #cringe. I know no one ever sets out to make a bad film, but damnnn! who in the fuck Ok'd this?? I hope this shit did not do permanent damage to Vera Farminga, Cory Stoll & Jon Beranthal's careers, though I wouldn't be surprised.
I thought it was terrible, , storyline was all over the place, hardly any Italians, a white baby Christopher, even the acting was shi*, but worse was everyone trying so hard to be there older versions. Them ticks come with time and this had none, should have been a TV series, 😠😠😠
