“Sopranos” fans have waited a long time to see Michael Gandolfini in action as Tony Soprano in “The Many Saints of Newark.”
The prequel film, which was originally due out in theaters in September 2020, was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, sending actors back to New Jersey for more filming after they wrapped in summer of 2019.
Then the new release date — March 12, 2021, in theaters and on HBO Max — failed to materialize when the movie was pushed back again a full year to September 2021.
Now Warner Bros. and HBO Max are pulling back the curtain a tiny bit by offering a snippet of a preview within a super trailer for its 2021 slate of “same day premieres,” meaning films that will simultaneously premiere in theaters and on HBO Max.

Gandolfini, 21, son of James Gandolfini, the actor who won three Emmys for playing Tony Soprano before his death in 2013, plays a young Tony.
The younger Gandolfini, sporting ‘70s-style longish hair, can be seen fighting with another actor for a brief moment in the trailer, glaring at him and pushing him in the street.
“Antonio Soprano,” someone says in a voiceover.
The title of the film is shown using font reminiscent of the HBO show, with a gun filling in for the “R” in Newark.
“The Many Saints of Newark” which filmed in New Jersey locations including Newark, Bloomfield and Paterson, is due out Sept. 24, 2021 in theaters and on HBO Max.

“Rival gangsters, the Newark riots, and a ton of gabagool will be delivered directly to theaters and @hbomax,” Michael Gandolfini said of the film, which is partially set in the 1960s, in a Jan. 13 Instagram post. “The wait will be worth it. Love y’all.”
The movie depicts Tony’s upbringing and the 1967 Newark riots. Actors playing Newark residents, police and National Guardsmen filled city streets in 2019 for the filming of the “Sopranos” prequel.
Alessandro Nivola stars alongside Gandolfini as his mentor Dickie Moltisanti. Moltisanti becomes the father of Christopher Moltisanti, Tony’s mentee in the HBO series, which premiered in 1999 and bowed in 2007 with a famous cut to black. Moltisanti means “many saints,” hence the film’s title. Michael Gandolfini, Nivola and other cast members shared an image of Christopher’s tombstone with the new date for the film. In “The Sopranos,” Tony Soprano suffocates Christopher after they get in a car accident when Christopher drives while high on drugs.

“Sopranos” creator David Chase co-wrote the film with Lawrence Konner. Series alum Alan Taylor directed the film, which also stars New Jersey’s own Vera Farmiga (”The Departed”) as Tony’s mother Livia Soprano, and Jon Bernthal (”The Punisher”) as Tony’s father “Johnny Boy” Soprano.
Filling Uncle Junior’s shoes in the movie will be Corey Stoll (”First Man”), while Billy Magnussen (”Aladdin,” the upcoming James Bond movie “No Time to Die”) pops up as a young Paulie Walnuts.
Tony winner Leslie Odom Jr. (”Hamilton,” “One Night in Miami”) also plays a role in the film, as does Union’s own Ray Liotta and Italian actress Michela De Rossi.

The HBO Max super trailer also features footage of other upcoming releases like “Dune”; “Space Jam: A New Legacy”; and “King Richard,” a movie starring Will Smith as Richard Williams, the father and coach of Venus and Serena Williams.
Also on the way and shown in the trailer: “The Matrix 4,” “Tom & Jerry”; ”Mortal Kombat”; “Those Who Wish Me Dead”; “The Suicide Squad”; “Reminisce”; “Cry Macho”; ”The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It,” starring Jersey’s Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson; “Judas and the Black Messiah”; “Godzilla vs. Kong” and the film based on Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical “In the Heights.”
HBO Max subscribers don’t pay any additional fee to watch these films, which will be available for 31 days on streaming after their premiere (and will continue to screen in theaters after that).
