Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema obtained the rights to produce The Many Saints of Newark alongside HBO Films. The film had its world premiere at the Tribeca Fall Preview on September 22, 2021, and was theatrically released in the United States on October 1, along with a month-long simultaneous release on the HBO Max streaming service. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, with many praising the performances of Gandolfini and Nivola, though some criticized the script. However, the film was a box-office bomb, grossing $13 million against a budget of $50 million, while attaining streaming success on HBO Max and contributing to a spike in viewership for The Sopranos.

Plot

In 1967, a young Tony Soprano travels with his mentor, Dickie Moltisanti, to welcome home Dickie's father, "Hollywood Dick" Moltisanti, and his new Italian bride, Giuseppina. Moltisanti is a soldier in the DiMeo crime family, which also consists of Johnny Soprano and his brother Junior, Silvio Dante, Paulie Walnuts, Pussy Bonpensiero, and "Buddha", Pussy's father. After a black taxi driver is assaulted and robbed by white police officers, riots break out in Newark. Dickie's black associate, Harold McBrayer, kills a looter and is forced to flee to North Carolina to escape criminal charges. Before leaving, he gets $500, equivalent to $4,600 in 2023, from Dickie as a gift.

At a carnival, Tony sees Johnny and Junior arrested for engaging in violence during the riots. Johnny is sentenced to four years in prison for assault with a deadly weapon. During an argument, Hollywood Dick kicks Giuseppina down a flight of stairs. When Dickie finds out, he confronts him. An argument leads to a physical altercation where Dickie kills his father in a fit of rage. He covers up the murder by dumping the body in a warehouse and burning down the building.

Guilt-ridden, Dickie visits his father's twin brother, Sally, who is serving a life sentence in prison for killing another made man in his own family. He begins seeing Giuseppina as his comare. In elementary school, Tony is suspended from school for starting a gambling operation, and Dickie makes Tony pinkie promise him that he will follow the rules.

In early 1972, Johnny is released from prison and Harold returns to Newark determined to form a black criminal family. Giuseppina has an affair with Harold after fighting with Dickie. Harold kills one of Dickie's men and steals their extortion money. Dickie and his crew torture and question Harold's lieutenant, Cyril, with an impact wrench before shooting him dead. Harold and his gang then engage in a drive-by shootout with Johnny Boy's crew, during which Buddha is killed. Harold and Dickie engage in a standoff, but both leave when they hear police sirens.

After Tony steals the answers for his geometry exam, the school guidance counselor tells Tony's mother, Livia, that he has a high Stanford–Binet IQ and the Myers–Briggs personality traits of a leader. The counselor relates how Tony told her about a time in which his mother hugged him and read him a book about Sutter's Mill and how it was one of his best memories. Livia tries to show her affection for Tony, but she mentions how her doctor wanted to prescribe her antidepressants. When Tony suggests taking it, she antagonizes him. At Buddha's wake, Tony asks Dickie if he could get Elavil for his mother, but Dickie is hesitant.

After the wake, Junior slips and falls on the church steps, causing Dickie to laugh uproariously in his face, infuriating Junior. Dickie reconnects with Giuseppina and promises to finance a beauty parlor for her to run. During a walk on the beach, she confesses to her affair with Harold. An enraged Dickie drowns her in the ocean. Dickie again visits Sally. Sally says that everyone close to Dickie ends up dead sooner or later, and that he should stay out of Tony's life.

Dickie listens to Sally's advice and begins to avoid Tony, refusing to see him or answer his calls. An upset Tony throws the speakers Dickie gave him out his window. Later that night, Silvio encourages Dickie to reconcile with Tony, and Dickie relents. Before he can arrive home, Dickie is assassinated by an unknown assailant on Junior's orders.

At Dickie's wake, it is revealed that Dickie acquired the Elavil for Tony and had it in his pocket when he was killed. Tony looks sadly at Dickie's corpse and imagines doing another pinkie promise with him, like the two had done years before. Sometime later, Harold moves into a white neighborhood.

Development

 
David Chase in 2015

I was against [the movie] for a long time and I'm still very worried about it, but I became interested in Newark, where my parents came from, and where the riots took place ... I was living in suburban New Jersey at the time that happened, and my girlfriend was working in downtown Newark. I was just interested in the whole Newark riot thing. I started thinking about those events and organized crime, and I just got interested in mixing those two elements.

—David Chase in 2019, writer and producer of The Many Saints of Newark[4]

The origins of what ultimately took shape as The Many Saints of Newark happened when David Chase finished film school, having the idea of making a film about four white persons living around Newark, New Jersey, who joined the National Guard to avoid being drafted to the Vietnam War only to be sent instead to the 1967 Newark riots, though the film went unproduced. Following the release of The Sopranos, it was suggested by Oz creator Tom Fontana that Chase write a film centered on Tony Soprano's father Giovanni "Johnny Boy" Soprano set in the 1930s or 1940s. The idea eventually fell off due to Chase's lack of interest.[5]

Chase ruled out the idea of continuing The Sopranos story in June 2017, while simultaneously expressing an interest in a prequel to the series.[6] He had earlier been against the idea of making a film based on The Sopranos, especially a sequel to the series, given James Gandolfini's death in 2013, but became interested in Newark due to the 1967 Newark riots and his family ties to the city: "I was interested in Newark and life in Newark at that time ... I used to go to down there every Saturday night for dinner with my grandparents. But the thing that interested me most was Tony's boyhood. I was interested in exploring that", acknowledging that a prequel film could explore the period of Tony's life that he glorified in the show's early episodes.[7]

Chase said that the main storyline centers on the 1967 Newark riots and racial tensions between the Italian-American and African-American communities.[4] Chase's biggest challenge during writing was the inclusion of many storylines for different characters. Some aspects of those storylines were dropped during editing to let the storylines "take shape" within the film's overall narrative.[7]

In March 2018, New Line Cinema announced that it purchased the rights to produce the film along with HBO Films,[8] with Chase co-writing the screenplay with Lawrence Konner.[9][10] New Line's chairman, Toby Emmerich, stated, "David is a masterful storyteller and we, along with our colleagues at HBO, are thrilled that he has decided to revisit, and enlarge, the Soprano universe in a feature film".[9] Chase was not concerned about alienating audiences unfamiliar to the show. For him and Konner, their intention was to tell a realistic and respectable dramatic criminal story, under the "auspices" of The Sopranos.[5]

Alan Taylor, who directed several episodes of The Sopranos, was hired to direct the film in July 2018.[11] Chase offered Taylor the opportunity to direct the film one day while they lunched together, feeling that Taylor had worked on the show's best episodes and had given him "the most trouble".[12] In contrast to the show, Taylor felt that Chase allowed more creative control over the film than when he ran the show, as Chase spent most of the time outlining the story sequestered in the writer's room.[7]

Casting

 
Alessandro Nivola stars as Dickie Moltisanti

In November 2018, Alessandro Nivola was cast to star in the film as Dickie Moltisanti, the father of Christopher Moltisanti.[13] Dickie never appeared in the show despite being mentioned, though Chase did not have any plans to feature the character physically then.[5] In January 2019, while discussing the 20th anniversary of the series, Chase revealed that a young Tony Soprano would appear in the film.[4] Jon Bernthal, Vera Farmiga, Corey Stoll and Billy Magnussen were added to the cast that same month.[14][15]

Michael Gandolfini, son of James Gandolfini, was cast in the role of young Tony.[16][17] He was not immediately cast and had to audition for the role, but Taylor and Chase felt that they were right in casting him when Gandolfini thanked all the production team for allowing him to "say hello and goodbye again" to his father.[12] Gandolfini, having never watched The Sopranos, watched the series to prepare for the role, describing it as an intense process.[18] To keep Gandolfini's performance from being too similar to that of his father, Taylor occasionally reshot a scene if Gandolfini acted like he were already an experienced gangster, as the young Tony is "still a kid" during the film.[12]

Ray Liotta joined the cast in February,[19] with Leslie Odom Jr. and Michela De Rossi joining in March,[20][21][22] as well as John Magaro, who starred in Chase's debut feature film Not Fade Away (2012).[23] Liotta had been previously approached by Chase to appear in the third or fourth seasons of The Sopranos, but the plan did not work out.[24]

Edie Falco filmed scenes as her character Carmela Soprano which were intended to start the film, but her scenes were cut. Taylor explained, "There was some confusion as to how best launch the movie. How to start the movie. So we tried a few things and that was one of them. If you've seen the movie you'll see that we begin it in a very different way now but that wasn't always the idea".[25]

Filming

Principal photography began in Brooklyn on April 3, 2019,[26][27] moved to Newark on May 7,[28] and wrapped up in June 2019,[29] with a $50 million budget.[2] Branford Place, a street in Newark, was transformed to fit the 1960s time period for the riots, including detailed storefronts, the old Adams Theater marquee, and the neon sign for Hobby's Delicatessen.[30] Retired Newark police officer Luther Engler served as a technical adviser for the film.[30]

Filming also took place in Bloomfield.[31] Satriale's Pork Store was featured in The Sopranos and was recreated in Paterson.[32] Planned reshoots were halted upon the start of the COVID-19 pandemic,[7] and the production returned for reshoots in September 2020,[33] during which the filmmakers shot some important aspects that improved the film's story.[7]

The film uses the 1967 Newark riots as a backdrop for the tensions between the Italian and black communities.[34] To accurately depict the riots, Taylor directly recreated some of the film shots from archival photos and footage of the event.[12]

During post-production, there were some serious talks about whether the film's depiction of the Newark riots would still seem appropriate in the wake of the George Floyd protests, but Taylor concluded that the film's treatment of the riots would avoid controversy.[12] Christopher Tellefsen worked as the film's editor. The editing process took longer than expected due to the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the film industry, though Taylor felt that the extended period helped him and Chase to discuss what the film's final cut would consist of.[7]

Release

The film was initially scheduled to be released on September 25, 2020.[35] Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on theaters and the film industry, its release date was rescheduled to March 12, 2021.[36][37] It was delayed again to September 24, 2021, so it could premiere on the film festival circuit and better position itself as an awards contender, before later moving to October 1.[38][39]

The film was simultaneously released in theaters and on HBO Max, for a limited period of 31 days, as part of the 2021 Warner Bros. film release schedule plans.[40] The film had its world premiere at the inaugural Tribeca Fall Preview at the Beacon Theatre on September 22, 2021,[41] the same date as the film's early release in the United Kingdom.[42]

The film was released on Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD and DVD on December 21, 2021. Special features include deleted scenes and two featurettes–"Making of Newark" and "Sopranos Family Honor".[43] It debuted at the 33rd position for overall disc sales in the United States according to the "NPD VideoScan First Alert" chart, and the 18th position in Blu-ray sales. Blu-ray accounted for 60% of sales, with traditional Blu-ray making up 48% of the sales and Ultra HD Blu-ray making up 12%.[44]

Reception

Box office

The Many Saints of Newark grossed $8.2 million in the United States and Canada, and $4.8 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $13.1 million.[3]

In the United States and Canada, The Many Saints of Newark was released alongside Venom: Let There Be Carnage and The Addams Family 2, and was projected to gross around $10 million from 3,180 theaters in its opening weekend.[45][46] The film made $2.1 million on its first day, and debuted to $5 million, finishing fourth at the box office.[47] Following its less-than-expected opening weekend, Variety wrote that the film "stands to lose millions".[2] The film dropped 69% in its second weekend to $1.9 million, finishing fifth.[48]

Streaming viewership

The Many Saints of Newark was a streaming success.[49] According to Samba TV, it was viewed one million times during its opening weekend.[50] It outperformed similarly budgeted films such as Reminiscence and Cry Macho that were released on HBO Max, with WarnerMedia stating that it was streamed three times more than the second-most viewed film of the weekend. The Sopranos broke HBO Max viewership records around the time of the film's release, attributed to The Many Saints of Newark sparking renewed interest in the series.[49] By the end of its first month, the film had been streamed in more than 2.1 million households in the United States.[51] During its second week of availability on HBO Max, the film was the eighth most-streamed film in the United States, according to TV Time.[52][53]

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 72% based on 222 reviews, with an average rating of 6.8/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Even as its storytelling chafes at the edges of its cinematic constraints, The Many Saints of Newark proves The Sopranos' allure is still powerful."[54] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 61 out of 100, based on 48 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[55] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "C+" on an A+ to F scale, while those at PostTrak gave it a 77% positive score, with 60% saying they would definitely recommend it.[47]

In a review for The Boston Globe, Don Aucoin said that "as a Goodfellas-ish crime drama that vividly evokes time and place, Saints is rendered with enough bare-knuckled verve, unpredictability, and darkly glinting wit to make it work."[56] In a positive review for the Chicago Sun-Times, Richard Roeper called the film "a sharply honed, darkly funny, ultra-violent and wildly entertaining late 1960s period piece" and an "immensely satisfying companion piece to The Sopranos", giving it 3.5 stars out of 4.[57]

Owen Gleiberman of Variety called Many Saints "a sharp, lively, and engrossing movie, one that provides a fascinating running commentary on how the world of The Sopranos came into being" but noted "[the audience] can't help but notice the difference in tone" when compared to the series.[58] David Fear of Rolling Stone said in his review "Chase has delivered something that walks the tightrope between social melodrama and fan service, and that sometimes teeters on the edge of falling."[59]

Manohla Dargis of The New York Times called the film "a busy, unnecessary, disappointingly ordinary origin story" and said that "the best thing about The Many Saints of Newark is that it makes you think about The Sopranos, but that's also the worst thing about it."[60] Reviewing the film for RogerEbert.com, Glenn Kenny gave the film 1.5 out of 4 stars and said: "The movie's flabbiness, its unfocused flopping from scene to scene, its disinclination to provide any individual scene with any dimension beyond its immediate impact, practically vitiates the entire theme of Dickie's ostensible mentorship of Tony Soprano."[61] Richard Brody of The New Yorker wrote: "The Many Saints of Newark, by contrast, reduces characters of potentially mythic power to a handful of defining traits and pins them to a diorama-like backdrop of historical readymades."[62]

Possible sequel

Chase has expressed interest in producing a sequel to The Many Saints of Newark which follows Tony Soprano in his 20s, provided that he could collaborate with former Sopranos writer Terence Winter.[63] Upon hearing this, Winter replied that he would do it "in a heartbeat. Absolutely."[64]

Chase revealed that he received an offer from WarnerMedia to produce another season of The Sopranos which bridged the gap between the end of the film and the beginning of the original series, but admitted to The Hollywood Reporter that he was not especially interested in making such a series. He noted that he wished to make one more film set in The Sopranos universe because he had an idea of what he might do, adding: "But I don't think they want that."[65]

ProductionDevelopment nbsp David Chase in 2015 I was against the movie for a long time and I m still very worried about it but I became interested in Newark where my parents came from and where the riots took place I was living in suburban New Jersey at the time that happened and my girlfriend was working in downtown Newark I was just interested in the whole Newark riot thing I started thinking about those events and organized crime and I just got interested in mixing those two elements David Chase in 2019 writer and producer of The Many Saints of Newark 4 The origins of what ultimately took shape as The Many Saints of Newark happened when David Chase finished film school having the idea of making a film about four white persons living around Newark New Jersey who joined the National Guard to avoid being drafted to the Vietnam War only to be sent instead to the 1967 Newark riots though the film went unproduced Following the release of The Sopranos it was suggested by Oz creator Tom Fontana that Chase write a film centered on Tony Soprano s father Giovanni Johnny Boy Soprano set in the 1930s or 1940s The idea eventually fell off due to Chase s lack of interest 5 Chase ruled out the idea of continuing The Sopranos story in June 2017 while simultaneously expressing an interest in a prequel to the series 6 He had earlier been against the idea of making a film based on The Sopranos especially a sequel to the series given James Gandolfini s death in 2013 but became interested in Newark due to the 1967 Newark riots and his family ties to the city I was interested in Newark and life in Newark at that time I used to go to down there every Saturday night for dinner with my grandparents But the thing that interested me most was Tony s boyhood I was interested in exploring that acknowledging that a prequel film could explore the period of Tony s life that he glorified in the show s early episodes 7 Chase said that the main storyline centers on the 1967 Newark riots and racial tensions between the Italian American and African American communities 4 Chase s biggest challenge during writing was the inclusion of many storylines for different characters Some aspects of those storylines were dropped during editing to let the storylines take shape within the film s overall narrative 7 In March 2018 New Line Cinema announced that it purchased the rights to produce the film along with HBO Films 8 with Chase co writing the screenplay with Lawrence Konner 9 10 New Line s chairman Toby Emmerich stated David is a masterful storyteller and we along with our colleagues at HBO are thrilled that he has decided to revisit and enlarge the Soprano universe in a feature film 9 Chase was not concerned about alienating audiences unfamiliar to the show For him and Konner their intention was to tell a realistic and respectable dramatic criminal story under the auspices of The Sopranos 5 Alan Taylor who directed several episodes of The Sopranos was hired to direct the film in July 2018 11 Chase offered Taylor the opportunity to direct the film one day while they lunched together feeling that Taylor had worked on the show s best episodes and had given him the most trouble 12 In contrast to the show Taylor felt that Chase allowed more creative control over the film than when he ran the show as Chase spent most of the time outlining the story sequestered in the writer s room 7 Casting nbsp Alessandro Nivola stars as Dickie Moltisanti In November 2018 Alessandro Nivola was cast to star in the film as Dickie Moltisanti the father of Christopher Moltisanti 13 Dickie never appeared in the show despite being mentioned though Chase did not have any plans to feature the character physically then 5 In January 2019 while discussing the 20th anniversary of the series Chase revealed that a young Tony Soprano would appear in the film 4 Jon Bernthal Vera Farmiga Corey Stoll and Billy Magnussen were added to the cast that same month 14 15 Michael Gandolfini son of James Gandolfini was cast in the role of young Tony 16 17 He was not immediately cast and had to audition for the role but Taylor and Chase felt that they were right in casting him when Gandolfini thanked all the production team for allowing him to say hello and goodbye again to his father 12 Gandolfini having never watched The Sopranos watched the series to prepare for the role describing it as an intense process 18 To keep Gandolfini s performance from being too similar to that of his father Taylor occasionally reshot a scene if Gandolfini acted like he were already an experienced gangster as the young Tony is still a kid during the film 12 Ray Liotta joined the cast in February 19 with Leslie Odom Jr and Michela De Rossi joining in March 20 21 22 as well as John Magaro who starred in Chase s debut feature film Not Fade Away 2012 23 Liotta had been previously approached by Chase to appear in the third or fourth seasons of The Sopranos but the plan did not work out 24 Edie Falco filmed scenes as her character Carmela Soprano which were intended to start the film but her scenes were cut Taylor explained There was some confusion as to how best launch the movie How to start the movie So we tried a few things and that was one of them If you ve seen the movie you ll see that we begin it in a very different way now but that wasn t always the idea 25 Filming Principal photography began in Brooklyn on April 3 2019 26 27 moved to Newark on May 7 28 and wrapped up in June 2019 29 with a 50 million budget 2 Branford Place a street in Newark was transformed to fit the 1960s time period for the riots including detailed storefronts the old Adams Theater marquee and the neon sign for Hobby s Delicatessen 30 Retired Newark police officer Luther Engler served as a technical adviser for the film 30 Filming also took place in Bloomfield 31 Satriale s Pork Store was featured in The Sopranos and was recreated in Paterson 32 Planned reshoots were halted upon the start of the COVID 19 pandemic 7 and the production returned for reshoots in September 2020 33 during which the filmmakers shot some important aspects that improved the film s story 7 The film uses the 1967 Newark riots as a backdrop for the tensions between the Italian and black communities 34 To accurately depict the riots Taylor directly recreated some of the film shots from archival photos and footage of the event 12 During post production there were some serious talks about whether the film s depiction of the Newark riots would still seem appropriate in the wake of the George Floyd protests but Taylor concluded that the film s treatment of the riots would avoid controversy 12 Christopher Tellefsen worked as the film s editor The editing process took longer than expected due to the COVID 19 pandemic s impact on the film industry though Taylor felt that the extended period helped him and Chase to discuss what the film s final cut would consist of 7 ReleaseThe film was initially scheduled to be released on September 25 2020 35 Due to the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on theaters and the film industry its release date was rescheduled to March 12 2021 36 37 It was delayed again to September 24 2021 so it could premiere on the film festival circuit and better position itself as an awards contender before later moving to October 1 38 39 The film was simultaneously released in theaters and on HBO Max for a limited period of 31 days as part of the 2021 Warner Bros film release schedule plans 40 The film had its world premiere at the inaugural Tribeca Fall Preview at the Beacon Theatre on September 22 2021 41 the same date as the film s early release in the United Kingdom 42 The film was released on Blu ray 4K Ultra HD and DVD on December

Sopranos allure is still powerful 54 On Metacritic the film has a weighted average score of 61 out of 100 based on 48 critics indicating generally favorable reviews 55 Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of C on an A to F scale while those at PostTrak gave it a 77 positive score with 60 saying they would definitely recommend it 47 In a review for The Boston Globe Don Aucoin said that as a Goodfellas ish crime drama that vividly evokes time and place Saints is rendered with enough bare knuckled verve unpredictability and darkly glinting wit to make it work 56 In a positive review for the Chicago Sun Times Richard Roeper called the film a sharply honed darkly funny ultra violent and wildly entertaining late 1960s period piece and an immensely satisfying companion piece to The Sopranos giving it 3 5 stars out of 4 57 Owen Gleiberman of Variety called Many Saints a sharp lively and engrossing movie one that provides a fascinating running commentary on how the world of The Sopranos came into being but noted the audience can t help but notice the difference in tone when compared to the series 58 David Fear of Rolling Stone said in his review Chase has delivered something that walks the tightrope between social melodrama and fan service and that sometimes teeters on the edge of falling 59 Manohla Dargis of The New York Times called the film a busy unnecessary disappointingly ordinary origin story and said that the best thing about The Many Saints of Newark is that it makes you think about The Sopranos but that s also the worst thing about it 60 Reviewing the film for RogerEbert com Glenn Kenny gave the film 1 5 out of 4 stars and said The movie s flabbiness its unfocused flopping from scene to scene its disinclination to provide any individual scene with any dimension beyond its immediate impact practically vitiates the entire theme of Dickie s ostensible mentorship of Tony Soprano 61 Richard Brody of The New Yorker wrote The Many Saints of Newark by contrast reduces characters of potentially mythic power to a handful of defining traits and pins them to a diorama like backdrop of historical readymades 62 Possible sequelChase has expressed interest in producing a sequel to The Many Saints of Newark which follows Tony Soprano in his 20s provided that he could collaborate with former Sopranos writer Terence Winter 63 Upon hearing this Winter replied that he would do it in a heartbeat Absolutely 64 Chase revealed that he received an offer from WarnerMedia to produce another season of The Sopranos which bridged the gap between the end of the film and the beginning of the original series but admitted to The Hollywood Reporter that he was not especially interested in making such a series He noted that he wished to make one more film set in The Sopranos universe because he had an idea of what he might do adding But I don t think they want that 65 References The Many Saints Of Newark BBFC Archived
