The
film follows a young Tony Soprano “as he grows up in one of the most tumultuous
eras in Newark’s history.” He’s played by Michael Gandolfini, the son of the
late James Gandolfini - who portrayed the crime boss during
the show’s 10-year run beginning in 1997.
Last
September, the
cast and crew returned to New Jersey to film reshoots put
on hold by the pandemic. The “Many Saints” cast was in Bloomfield to film at
the famed ice cream shop Holstens – also where the last scene of the last show
took place.
