The Many Saints of Newark World Premiere Will Kick Off The Inaugural Tribeca Fall Preview
Today, Tribeca Enterprises announced the inaugural Tribeca Fall Preview, a season-long series featuring film premieres, musical performances, and more. The Tribeca Fall Preview will kick off on September 22nd with the premiere of The Many Saints of Newark, the prequel to the hit HBO series The Sopranos, which will take place at the Beacon Theatre.
When it premiered on HBO in 1999, The Sopranos made an immediate cultural impact and cemented its place as one of television’s greatest dramas. We look forward to launching this exciting new series with The Many Saints of Newark, the latest Sopranos story from David Chase and director Alan Taylor.

For those who've been to the Tribeca Festival, Tribeca Enterprises promises that the Tribeca Fall preview "reflects the programming Tribeca is known for: entertaining, thought-provoking and often surprising.", boasting that they'll have a "series of events that represent excellence in all mediums of entertainment."
The Many Saints of Newark tells the story of a young Anthony Soprano as he is growing up in one of the most tumultuous eras in the history of Newark, New Jersey. Soprano is 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 nephew will help make the impressionable teenager into the all-powerful mob boss later come to be known as Tony Soprano.
The Many Saints of Newark stars Alessandro Nivola, Tony winner Leslie Odom Jr., Jon Bernthal, Corey Stoll, Michael Gandolfini, Billy Magnussen, Michela De Rossi, John Magaro, with Emmy winner Ray Liotta and Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga.
Alan Taylor, who won an Emmy for his directing work on The Sopranos, is helming the film from a screenplay by David Chase & Lawrence Konner, based on characters created by Chase. Chase, Konner and Nicole Lambert are producing the film, with Michael Disco, Marcus Viscidi, Toby Emmerich and Richard Brener serving as executive producers. The film is rated R.
I am thrilled to be participating in an event that will call attention to cinema and the arts in NYC, at such a pivotal time. I think it's just great that Tribeca is hosting this series.
David Chase
