David Chase hat angeblich „kein Interesse“ daran, Sopranos wieder zu besuchen

Dieses Sopranos-Prequel ist vielleicht doch nicht in Planung.

Die Soprane Schöpfer David Chase hat offenbar kein Interesse daran, zu der Hit-Krimiserie zurückzukehren. Während eines Interviews mit Der Hollywood-Reporter , ging Produzent Casey Bloys auf Gerüchte ein, dass ein Sopranos-Prequel in Arbeit sei. Und das sind keine guten Nachrichten.

„Du stellst die Frage, als ob es eine gäbe“, lachte er. „Ich glaube nicht, dass David Interesse daran hat, The Sopranos noch einmal zu besuchen. Und ich würde ihm zustimmen. Es ist eine perfekte Serie, die meiner Meinung nach nicht erneut besucht werden muss. Aber wir werden sehen, was er als nächstes tun will.“

Aber … das hat Warner Media kürzlich nicht gesagt.



Nach dem Erfolg von Die vielen Heiligen von Newark , war das Unternehmen bestrebt, in eine andere Serie einzutauchen, die mit The Sopranos verbunden ist. Tatsächlich war es eine Prequel-Show angeblich in Arbeit .

Leider sieht es so aus, als hätte Warner Media die Waffe übersprungen.

„Was die Serie betrifft, nicht, dass ich mit David darüber spreche“, sagte er. „Ich weiß nicht, wo sie aufgehört haben, ob es weitere Filme geben würde oder was, also zu Ihrer größeren Frage nach einer Sopranos-Serie, da ist nichts. Und mit The Many Saints gab es keine Gespräche darüber.“

Obwohl er weltweit nur 11,4 Millionen US-Dollar verdient, Die vielen Heiligen von Newark Das Interesse an The Sopranos wurde wieder geweckt, und neue Fans strömten zu HBO Max, um die 23-jährige Show zu streamen. Einige von ihnen vermutlich auf der Suche zu sehen wie die beiden Projekte miteinander verbunden sind .

Die Sopranos erlebten vor ihrem Finale im Jahr 2007 eine sechsjährige Saison, die mit endete die jetzt ikonische Überblendung der Show zu Schwarz .

Aber es sieht so aus, als ob die Produzenten es nicht eilig haben, die Show neu zu starten.

Die vielen Heiligen von Newark: Who is Who im Sopranos-Prequel-Film Tony Soprano<p> Michael Gandolfini (Ozean's director, Alan Taylor. Livia Soprano<p> Bates-Motel's 8, The Deuce) plays future DiMeo crime family boss Tony Soprano, the role made famous by his late father, James Gandolfini. <p> “There's a lot of echoes [in the film] in the kind of fathering relationship Tony had with Christopher,” The Many Saints of Newark director Alan Taylor tells IAPN. “And that's sort of the real cycle, I think, because Christopher's dad was like a dad to Tony in many ways. And then Tony rises, and becomes like a dad figure to Christopher -- with a very complex outcome, obviously. And there are cycles repeating, cycles you cannot escape. And one of the themes of the show and one of the themes of our movie is how locked into our cycles are we? How determined are we? Can we write our destiny or not? And for me, that's sort of what the movie [is about]. Anybody coming to the movie knows Tony, and knows where Tony went. So in a way he's kind of in a locked cycle. And because it's David Chase and Sopranos, it doesn't come out very well for a lot of them.<p> “Sopranos was an amazing cultural experience,” adds Taylor. “And if you start to analyze why, one thing David had was the brilliant idea to take the classic gangster movie and make it contemporary and put it on the TV instead of the big screen. So what are we doing [with Many Saints]? We're going period, and we're putting it on the big screen. So we're sort of running in the opposite direction of some of the defining things that made Sopranos revolutionary. And I can't stress enough the question of carrying on Sopranos without Jim Gandolfini is really... You can scare yourself to pieces over that too.” 12 Bilder Johnny Boy Sopran<p> Der Punisher und The Walking Dead's "nephew" Christopher (who was actually a cousin of Tony's wife Carmela) and a driven mobster whose influence over his impressionable nephew Tony will help make the teenager into the all-powerful mob boss we’ll later come to know. Dickie is played by Alessandro Nivola (Face/Off, Jurassic Park III).<p> “We do now find out what happened,” Taylor says in regards to Dickie’s fate. “And it does align with some things said in the show. It contradicts some of the things that were said in the show that I think we understood were sort of a little bit embroidery, or wishful memory, sort of. Anyway, I think, even for those who really know the show, this will play as the truth. This is behind all that.” Onkel Junior<p> Die Rolle des Onkels Corrado John „Junior“ Soprano Jr., gespielt von Dominic Chianese in der Originalserie, wird von The Strain und Ant-Man besetzt's Vera Farmiga once again tackles the role of a famously crazed mom as she takes over the role of the villainous Livia Soprano - a role played by Nancy Marchand on The Sopranos.<p> “We certainly wanted to get people that we thought would work as younger versions of the [characters] as represented in the show,” says Taylor. “The tricky part comes when you're doing the performances, you don't want it to become an impression. You want it to become a full, formed performance. Luckily we had geniuses like Vera Farmiga and John Magaro [who plays Silvio] who were doing some of the performances that most closely mirrored their role models, but also making it completely alive themselves. I think we were all a little wary of there being shtick, coming into it like, ‘You're not playing this character, but you're playing this other person's version of that character.’ But I'm pretty happy with how we threaded the needle. And there was some cases where there was some slight prosthetic work, like Vera and Billy Magnussen [for] Paulie. So in that way we were being faithful to the physiology.” 's Jon Bernthal plays Tony's dad, Giovanni "Johnny Boy" Soprano. Giovanni was only seen in flashbacks, or in dreams, on the series where he was played by Joseph Siravo.<p> “Jon Bernthal as Johnny is a similar type, but he's got a unique look,” says Taylor. “But he seemed like he completely nailed the vibe of the character. And that's sort of heightened, because there were some scenes in the movie that are direct lifts from the show, like Johnny getting arrested at the amusement park is something that happens in the show and also in our movie. And it just meant that we had Jon Bernthal, which was great, and we also could afford to have an actual amusement park [as opposed to] one ride and two flats in the show!” 's Corey Stoll.<p> “I certainly had trepidation [about this film] … it forced me to work very hard on what I thought the essence of Sopranos really was, to see if we could translate that to the big screen and keep it coherent with the show,” says Taylor. “Be more cinematic, but also be truthful to the aesthetic of the show … the absurdities and the existential lost-ness. The Russian guy in the Pine Barrens never coming back again. Or ducks in the swimming pool. And we have those [types of ] things in the movie too, of course, because it's David's voice. And those are the things that really, I think, are the yummiest for me. The moments of absurdity and transcendence and huge things happen from those trivial petty reasons.”

„Ob Sie es glauben oder nicht, ich verbringe keine Zeit damit, darüber nachzudenken, welche Shows neu gestartet werden sollen“, erklärte Bloys. „Wir verbringen unsere Tage nicht damit, darüber nachzudenken, was wir neu starten sollen, weil es eine knifflige Angelegenheit ist, eine Show zurückzubringen.“

Obwohl Bloys ziemlich sicher scheint, könnte es noch Hoffnung geben. Schließlich hat David Chase selbst es nicht ausgeschlossen. Aber es klingt sicherlich nicht gut.
