From the Cleveland Leader:
Ever since the “Sopranos” stopped airing in 2007, many fans have been holding out hope that one day it could be revived in the form of a big screen movie, a la “Sex and the City”. Producer David Chase has remained coy about such a possibility since the show’s demise, however cast members have already let it slip, suggesting that a script is already on the page.
The rumor to date has been that James Gandolfini, who plays mafia boss Tony Soprano in the series, has been reluctant to sign on for the big-screen version. However Lorraine Bracco, Tony’s psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Melfi on the show, says that the rumor is far off the mark.
Rather, she says:
“I don’t think it’s that at all. I think it’s really trying to get the right script. Without the right script, it’s really not worth doing.”
Bracco added,
“We’ve all talked to David to give him a kick in the booty to get it right.
On Monday HBO shot down rumors of the existence of a script, however, Steve Van Zandt ( who plays Silvio Dante, one of Tony’s colleagues on the show) added fuel to the fire. He let it slip to a Belfast newspaper that his character, who was struggling for his life in the show’s ending, is still alive.
Bracco also added that she isn’t content with just one movie – she wants lots of them:
“I want us to be like ‘Sex and the City’ or ‘The Bourne Identity. I want to make a million of them.”
