The Sopranos creator David Chase is getting into business with FX.
Chase and A Teacher creator Hannah Fidell are co-writing and co-creating a drama for the Disney-owned outlet. Details are being kept quiet, but it’s based on a previously unproduced script of Chase’s, with a contemporary take by Fidell.
FX Productions is behind the project, which has a pilot commitment. Fidell will also direct; Chase, Fidell and Chase Films’ Nicole Lambert are executive producing.
The project landing at FX is something of a surprise considering Chase signed a five-year, first-look TV and film deal with Warner Bros. Discovery in October 2021, as his Sopranos prequel film The Many Saints of Newark was being released.
The Sopranos, of course, is considered among the greatest TV dramas of all time and won 21 Emmys during its 1999-2007 run on HBO, including two best drama honors and three writing awards for Chase. Since the show’s end,...

Warner Bros is moving The Sopranos prequel pic The Many Saints of Newark from March 12 to Sept. 24. New Line is releasing.
Remember, WarnerMedia announced that its entire 2021 slate is going to theatrical and HBO Max at the same time, but big chains like AMC are negotiating terms on a film-by-film basis. So that means not everything Warners is releasing will play those theaters that are open coast to coast. It would seem conceivable that Saints is ripe completely for HBO Max since it’s a prequel to the Emmy-winning HBO mob series. However, Saints was greenlit two years ago as a theatrical release before the streaming service even existed. A move to September positions Saints to a time of year when more theaters will potentially be open, not to mention, it also puts the movie into consideration for the 2021-22 awards season. Most distributors for the first quarter are delaying...

Audiences will have to wait to return to the world of “The Sopranos.” “The Many Saints of Newark,” an upcoming film that serves as a prequel to the long-running HBO series, has again delayed its big-screen debut.
The movie will now open on Sept. 24, 2021 — an entire year after initially planned. “The Many Saints of Newark,” which is being produced by New Line Cinemas and released by Warner Bros., was originally set for September 2020 but was later rescheduled to March 12 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Traditional Hollywood studios have spent the better part of last year postponing their biggest films due to widespread theater closures and the general uncertainty over audiences’ willingness to return to the movies after cinemas reopened. But that’s not the impetus for “The Many Saints of Newark’s” latest delay since it will debut simultaneously in movie theaters and on HBO Max. Warner Bros. is taking...
