Tribeca Enterprises is rolling out its inaugural Tribeca Fall Preview, a season-long series featuring film premieres, musical performances, and more. This celebration will kick off on September 22 with the premiere of the highly anticipated The Sopranos prequel film The Many Saints of Newark at the Beacon Theatre.
The Many Saints of Newark tells the story of a young Anthony Soprano as he is growing up in one of the most tumultuous eras in the history of Newark, New Jersey. Soprano is becoming a man just as rival gangsters begin to rise up and challenge the all-powerful DiMeo crime family’s hold over the increasingly race-torn city. Caught up in the changing times is the uncle he idolizes, Dickie Moltisanti, who struggles to manage both his professional and personal responsibilities—and whose influence over his nephew will help make the impressionable teenager into the all-powerful mob boss later come to be known as Tony Soprano.
The Sopranos series creator David Chase’s The Many Saints of Newark stars Alessandro Nivola, Tony winner Leslie Odom Jr., Jon Bernthal, Corey Stoll, Michael Gandolfini, Billy Magnussen, Michela De Rossi, John Magaro, with Emmy winner Ray Liotta and Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga.
Alan Taylor, who won an Emmy for his directing work on The Sopranos, is helming the film from a screenplay by David Chase and Lawrence Konner, based on characters created by Chase. Chase, Konner and Nicole Lambert are producing the film, with Michael Disco, Marcus Viscidi, Toby Emmerich and Richard Brener serving as executive producers. The film is rated R.
