THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK | David Chase, Michael Gandolfini, Alessandro Nivola Talk SOPRANOS Prequel

[@JakesTakesTV]

Thank you for watching my interview! If you liked it, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE! I’m posting new celebrity interviews every week!

[@KiambuX]

Done.

[@andrewbundy252]

Very good

[@maureen669]

That was fabulous, Jake! What a coup to get together with the the heart of Many Saints. I'm from Jersey, I "tawk" like it, and I still cannot think of James Gandolfini without crying. I went to bed dreaming about it on opening night. I was thrilled to see locales in Jersey I know so well. You were a gushing fan and it really showed. Great questions. It's hard to impress David Chase lol! Bravo.

[@marcomorbeck831]

Just when I think my Sopranos addiction is ending..... THEY PULL ME BACK IN !!

[@brettbaratheon9776]

It never ends. I saw it live every Sunday as a young adult, and I still get through the whole series at least every two years. This movie continuously getting bumped further and further drive made me so angry!

[@spade2w]

Very Nice Nod to the Godfather III and later Silvios impression of Michael Corleone

[@GabGotti3]

David Chase seems so shocked and proud of Jimmy Gandolfini having a secret room to study his lines and work on his acting. He genuinely didn’t know that.

[@AllThatJuice-]

Genuinely hope this show lives up to the legacy of The Sorpanos. Wishing the best for Michael, for him to do this would have required an immense amount of maturity and respect

[@davelynch8494]

It's really good and if you're a fan of Sopranos then you'll like the film. There's a lot of fan service in the film, sometimes to the point of being cheesy, but the film was a mixture of serious and humour and so it's true to that. Just don't go into it thinking it will be a story about Tony

[@lifer8294]

Don’t go with high expectations not every mafia movie has to be like casino or godfather. I say appreciate the movie for what it is, not what you want it to be

[@Gemmarose9012]

The movie is nowhere near being on the same level of the show. I hope that Michael moves on from this and gets to be his own person and actor instead of James Gandolfini’s son.

[@mikey-domagala]

My favorite part of this interview is seeing Chase genuinely intrigued & smiling (doesn’t happen often) when Michael talks about his dad. Almost like Chase was/is so intrigued by James/Tony & wants to know EVERYTHING about him. Chase 100% respects & is grateful for the Gandolfini’s ‼️

[@Ofinfinitejest]

Portraying the sociopathic aspects of Tony really troubled James Gandolfini. You can see this and learn about it in various interviews. I think living that role for years took an emotional toll on him. It makes perfect sense, and is a tribute to how great a father he was that he did not show that to his son in any way.

[@mikey-domagala]

@@Ofinfinitejest Well said

[@SauceWorld]

Remember when T showed his musclehead bodyguard some James Toney when he slammed the refrigerator door

@2:13. David Chase's mind is blown. James Gandolfini had a secret room where he practiced being Tony Soprano.

Watch Michael when Jake asks them about the ending of the Sopranos, he just clamed up and slid into his own world for a moment. It touched him very deep and it's so moving to see. And heartbreaking, in a way.

Back when the Sopranos was on the T.V., it was a happier time in my life. Sundays were the best.

[@salbonpensiero3837]

Back in 2002-2003 The Sopranos, The Wire and Oz were all playing on HBO simultaneously. They really set the standard for how great TV shows can be and stepped outside the box of the PG-13 procedural NBC cop dramas that ruled cable TV back then.

[@dub_dub1504]

[@rsmith7994]

Yeah, a guy who was born, grew up, spent a few years in the army, a few more in the can, and here he is, a half a wise guy. So what?

[@ChristianVedder1]

Excellent interview! Really great questions that produced some really compelling Sopranos content!

[@bubblegum1948]

Who would’ve thought this man’s imagination would turn out to become possibly one of the BEST, if not THE BEST show about a day in the life of someone involved in mob life. This show is globally recognized as being a top favourite. The thing I like about him is that he is so modest (yet a total genius) and has said that he didn’t even expect it to turn out to be what it is or what it became.

[@veevee305MIA]

This movie was great. It answered so many questions and revealed that Tony was just pulled into the whirlpool. Like wow. Great great great.

[@donnapiraino3323]

I had two alternate endings for the Sopranos…. 1. Tony and Carmella are old and he is sitting by her hospital bedside and her is telling her the truth….His Confessional so to speak… as to all of the things that he has done throughout the years both personally and in “business”…..hence this has all been Tony really telling this all to Carmella….This is the last story as now Carmella passes away and a Nurse comes in as it fades out slowly… 2. You hear the alarm sound and the Loud bang of the prison doors closing The guard screams Lights out as Tony wakes up from his dream… He has been in prison for a decade and Tony has been dreaming of his entire life and every path that he chose..

[@TrumpFanNetwork2]

Chase said a long time ago, the Sopranos would never be a total dream sequence.

[@freddybeer]

I wish this was longer! Brilliant questions! Seeing the movie this Friday and I can't wait!

[@TrumpFanNetwork2]

Nothing brilliant about asking the actor what Dickie might think.... The only answer is, "Whatever David Chase writes, is what is going to happen."

WHY DOES DAVID CHASE LOOK PISSED OFF ALL THE TIME? 😂

[@tonybates7870]

Chase is brilliant at TV but he has little respect for it - his heart is in movies, he seems to think cinema is 'superior' to television. Perhaps that's got something to do with it.

[@mr.diabolik5997]

Cause he is

[@BELL314159]

I think the reason may have slipped out during this interview. He mentioned he may have been depressed when he was writing the original Sopranos series. So my bet is he’s still somewhat depressed. After all, Livia was modeled after his own mother. 😳

The look of annoyance on Chase's face when you asked him about the ending was great. He's too classy to tell you to go to Hell, but he's struggling to pretend he isn't thinking it. No offense, but I'm not sure what you expected any of them to say to that question. These guys aren't thinking/obsessing about the show's ending the way fanboys and critics on the Internet do.
