#FIRSTLOOK: NEW TRAILER FOR “THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK”

Fans of The Sopranos will be thrilled at this first look for the brand-new Trailer for THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK, coming this Fall to theatres.

Synopsis:

Young Anthony Soprano is growing up in one of the most tumultuous eras in Newark’s history, becoming a man just as rival gangsters begin to rise up and challenge the all-powerful DiMeo crime family’s hold over the increasingly race-torn city. Caught up in the changing times is the uncle he idolizes, Dickie Moltisanti, who struggles to manage both his professional and personal responsibilities—and whose influence over his impressionable nephew will help make the teenager into the all-powerful mob boss we’ll later come to know: Tony Soprano. 

Cast: Alessandro Nivola as Richard “Dickie” Moltisanti, and Michael Gandolfini stepping into his father’s iconic role of Tony Soprano, they are bolstered by a long list of powerhouse actors rounding out the film’s global cast: Leslie Odom Jr., Jon Bernthal, Corey Stoll, Billy Magnussen, John Magaro, Italian discovery Michela De Rossi, Ray Liotta, and Vera Farmiga.

THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK arrives in theatres October 1, 2021 via Warner Bros. Canada.
