'Sopranos' Prequel Movie Adds Jon Bernthal, Vera Farmiga
The family is growing: The "Sopranos" prequel movie has added two more stars to its cast.
"Conjuring" franchise, the sequel "Godzilla: King of the Monsters") have ed the mysterious project, titled "The Many Saints of Newark," which takes place in the 1960s during the infamous riots in Newark, New Jersey. No details about their roles have been revealed yet, and Variety reports that studio New Line could not be reached for comment.
That's par for the course for "The Many Saints of Newark," which has been doing its best to keep its plot and characters under wraps during development, though "Sopranos" creator James Gandolfini on the series) will appear, and several other "Sopranos" favorites are also expected to pop up as their younger selves, though not much else has been confirmed.
What we do know is that the film will focus most closely on Dickie Moltisanti (Michael Imperioli on the series). Dickie is eventually killed by a crooked cop in the '70s, though it's unclear if the film will explore that storyline.
Chase is co-writing the flick, and will produce. Alan Taylor ("Thor: The Dark World," "Game of Thrones") is directing.
