Highly Anticipated Feature Film “The Many Saints Of Newark” To Release In The UAE And KSA On 7th October

New Line Cinema’s “The Many Saints of Newark” is the much-anticipated feature film prequel to the ground-breaking, award-winning HBO drama series “The Sopranos.”  The film is set in the explosive era of the Newark riots, when rival gangsters began to rise up, challenging the all-powerful DiMeo crime family’s hold over the city.

“The  Many  Saints of  Newark”  stars  Alessandro  Nivola  (“Disobedience,”  “American  Hustle”), Tony winner Leslie Odom Jr. (Broadway’s “Hamilton,” “Murder on the Orient Express”), Jon  Bernthal  (“Baby  Driver,”  “The  Wolf of  Wall  Street”),  Corey  Stoll  (“First  Man,”  “Ant-Man”), Michael Gandolfini (TV’s “The Deuce”), Billy Magnussen (“Game Night,” “The Big Short”), Michela De  Rossi  (“Boys  Cry,”  TV’s  “The  Rats”),  John  Magaro  (“The  Finest  Hours,”  “Not  Fade  Away”),  with  Emmy  winner  Ray  Liotta  (TV’s  “Shades of  Blue,”  “Goodfellas”)  and  Oscar nominee  Vera  Farmiga (“Up in the Air,” “The Conjuring” films).

Alan Taylor (“Thor: The Dark World”), who won an Emmy for his directing work on “The Sopranos,” is helming the film from a screenplay by series creator 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.

Taylor’s behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Kramer  Morgenthau (“Creed II,” “Thor: The Dark World”), production designer Bob Shaw (“The Wolf of Wall  Street,”  “The  Sopranos”),  Oscar-nominated editor  Christopher  Tellefsen  (“Moneyball,”  “A  Quiet Place”) and costume designer Amy Westcott (“The Wrestler,” “Black Swan”).

“The Many Saints of Newark” was shot on location in New Jersey and New York, and several beloved characters from the original series that inspired the film are featured in the movie.  During its six-season run, “The Sopranos”—widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential television drama series of all time—was honored with 21 Primetime Emmy Awards, five Golden Globe Awards, and two Peabody Awards, to name only a portion.

New Line Cinema presents, in association with Home Box Office, a Chase Films Production, “The Many Saints of Newark.”    The film is being distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures and will be released in theaters in UAE and KSA from 7^th October 2021.
