THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK - Meet The Cast: Old But New

The Sopranos Creator David Chase and Director Alan Taylor join the cast in discussing the beloved icons and new faces of #TheManySaintsOfNewark, only in cinemas November 4.

[@giants2k8]

The guy playing Paulie was brilliant. He had his mannerisms down to a tee.

[@VideoGameAutopsy]

I read somewhere that he actually spent a whole day with Tony Sirico, studying his mannerisms, little gestures, and anything else he could use to nail the part.

[@prebenjaeger]

That's great but why the fuck would young Paulie have the exact same mannerism as old Paulie? Same goes for Silvio. It makes no sense.

[@VideoGameAutopsy]

@@prebenjaeger that’s just human nature. People hardly ever change their mindsets, morals, or characteristics.

[@prebenjaeger]

@@VideoGameAutopsy i disagree. They seemed like dipshit parodies.

[@RandomShowerThoughts]

@@prebenjaeger it definitely makes sense. I have a lot of the same mannerisms from when I was younger, and I'm not even old

They were childhood friends and went to school together IIRC

[@jackhughes9811]

I had that perception too while watching the sopranos, but Steven Van Zandt was 11 years older than Gandolfini in real life so it's not too much of an immersion breaker that they've aged Sil up a bit.

Also, Tony was maybe 10 years older than Chrissy at most. Not 17.

[@genericwhitemale9566]

@@flightofthebumblebee9529 yeah actually now that you mention it that makes no sense whatsoever. Tony is like 39-40 at the start of the series in 1999 and Chris's birthday is in July 26th 1969. For Tony being 17 years older than him to make any sense Chris would have to be 22-23 at the start which would put his birth year at 1977-78 OR Tony would have to be 47-48 at the start of the series and would be 55- 56 at the end of it.

[@danielueblacker9118]

this was an enema....

[@Howard_T_Duck]

The cast for the most part was really great. One thing I don’t really understand here is how the guy playing Pussy says the hardest part of the role is getting down the way Pussy says things but he has literally less than a minute of screen time. Actually I think him saying his name was his only line.

[@Scolio]

That is true but there could be more lines that just didn’t make it to the final cut. Not to mention even with just one line, there would still need to be a lot of practice and rehearsal just so that one appearance is done properly

[@jottaz144]

Thats right, but just listen to his only line, the way he pronounces it, he talks just like the original big pussy bonpensiero.... said no one ever

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

Tony was not a bad person because bad stuff happened to him. He chose that life. He had other opportunities. He was going to college then dropped out to pursue a life of murder and stealing.

[@AbsentBabyDaddy]

Yeah bruh Idk if you watched the show

[@jessehopson291]

I think the cast was great. There was some inconsistencies with age. Tony seemed like he was roughly the same age as Pussy and Sil in the show but in the movie he was clearly younger. Overall I really enjoyed the movie. I think a Sopranos prequel mini series is necessary at this point tho. They gave enough stories of their youth in the original and I think you have more than enough plot points to make one.

[@nicholasbenitez8453]

Silvio looks at least 10 years older than Tony in the show fym. I think by season 4-5 Tony is 42 and Sil definitely does not look like he’s in his early 40s

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

Paulie and Pus were good in the movie but the guy playing Silvio was just doing a lame impression of Steven Van Zandt

[@Finchese]

i wanna see a young richie aprile retrieve the jacket

[@sterlingarcher74]

Sil was the biggest offender to me. They made him out to be the loser of the group and he was too old. They talk about how Tony, Sil, Ralphie and Jackie grew up together- but Ralphie wasn’t even in the movie, Jackie was barely in it and Sil was a senior citizen.

[@Johnny8109]

They should have replaced Sils character with Richie Aprile

[@krayzeejojo]

Need one more prequel, where Corrado Sr. arrives at Ellis, raises his boys, and ends in the signature blackout after Livia finds out she’s pregnant a second time. Wrote itself. Pick it up, Chase.

I've always wanted to get into The Sopranos, but never have. This looks great tbh, I'd love to see this and then the series.

[@JessieBlackheart]

Ok, as a fan, don’t. The movie is good, I liked it, but you need to watch the Sopranos to get the most of it. Not only so the Characters are fleshed out, but a lot of how the screenplay is written is in The Sopranos style. Twist ending and plot points that are unresolved. If you watch the show then you’re used to it and it’s good, if you never watched the show then it’s not a good starting point

[@BradBrassman]

I got the box set cheap, but I believe you can download the series off Netflix now?

[@krayzeejojo]

I suggest you watch the movie twice to make sure you catch every single detail, then the original series to see what blows your mind.

I enjoyed it a lot. But John Magaro hammed up Silvio Dante. He really over acted it. Corey Stoll nailed Junior though.

I'd be fine with a Dickie Moltisanti movie, but this movie could not pick a lane and a lot of people had that problem I guess. Personally, everything with Ray Liotta and the girl he brought over was excessive. I wish they showed more of Tony growing up, maybe scenes with his cousin Tony and Chris at the ranch/farm thing, or maybe Tonys first kill of Willie Overall that we saw a little bit of in the show.
