The opening title sequence of HBO’s The Sopranos is an iconic piece of TV history. In it, Tony Soprano drives from Manhattan to his home in New Jersey in a 1999 Chevy Suburban. To dramatically demonstrate that the all-new, All-Electric Chevy Silverado is a next-generation truck, for a whole new generation of people, Commonwealth//McCann teamed with director David Chase (Sopranos creator) to create a modernized, scene-by-scene reshoot of the famous opening credits, but now, we see Tony’s daughter, Meadow, driving the First-Ever All-Electric Chevy Silverado. (A next-generation Soprano, driving a next-generation vehicle.)
Chase directed this Super Bowl spot, “New Generation,” via Park Pictures.
