David Chase, the creator of «The Sopranos» series, is finally receiving the recognition he deserves. The writer, producer, and director will take center stage in the upcoming HBO documentary «The Many Saints of Newark», - which showcases David’s career and his thought process behind creating the show that, as the documentary trailer notes, «changed television».
«The Sopranos», - starring the late James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano: an Italian-American mob boss from New Jersey who struggles to balance his personal life with his criminal business.
Hollywood Life magazine has gathered all the details of the upcoming documentary about «The Sopranos».
The two-part documentary shows David reminiscing about the creation of the six-season series. In the trailer, the writer noted that everyone told him, «You should write a show about your mother and yourself. And I thought, 'Who's gonna watch that?' Then I thought, 'Maybe if [the character] was, like, a real tough guy.'»
Documentarian Alex Gibney analyzes the behind-the-scenes moments that formed the basis of the show’s creation.
The documentary also reveals that, as David mentioned in the trailer, «no one else» besides HBO wanted the series. Although he was already a «television veteran», - others in the industry knew he lacked directing experience.
«I had no idea what I was doing», - David admitted in another part of the trailer. «But I knew it was about money and death». Other creative individuals noted that the theme in David’s pitch was controversial at the time, but they still decided to move forward.
When asked if he sees himself in the character of Tony, the trailer switches and focuses on David’s confession: «The more I did 'The Sopranos,' the more I realized that the movie never ends. It goes on and on. It always fascinated me».
Both parts of the documentary will be shown consecutively on HBO on September 7 at 8:00 PM Eastern Time. It will also be available for viewing on Max
