The Prequel is Coming, Here Are the Ladies of The Soprano’s

If you loved the HBO blockbuster ‘The Sopranos’ then you’ll to hear that a prequel is in the works, featuring all your favorite characters. Yes, even Tony (using a younger actor as Tony)! The project is called ‘The any Saints of Newark’ set in the mid-60’s in Newark, NJ, a site of civil and racial unrest.

Since the show crash and burned with the last mysterious scene (to the sound of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” Edie Falco has been busy working with PETA and professionally starred in the ‘Law and Order True Crime’ portraying high powered lawyer Leslie Abramson. Look for her to star in ‘Vulture Club’ and ‘The Land of Steady Habits’ both in post-production this spring.

Lorraine Bracco has been fairly quiet, appearing on a few talk shows while working on her memoir, but she’s very excited about the Soprano’s reboot. Finally, young Jamie Lynn Sigler just gave birth to her second child Jack Adam, with husband pro baseball player husband Cutter Dykstra, yes Lenny’s son.

Suffice to say all three have told the press and producers that they are on board for the ride, expected to begin on set and location this year.
