The leading men of the Sopranos in suits at a funeral: from L to R: Tony Siricio as Paulie Walnuts, Steve van Zandt as Silvio Dante, James Gandolfini as Tony Sooprano, Michael Imperioli as Christopher Moltasanti, Vincent Pastore as Salvatore "Big Pussy"...
The Big Picture Tony Soprano may have considered "remember when" to be the lowest form of conversation, but HBO disagrees. Wise Guy: David Chase and The Sopranos, a new two-part documentary from filmmaker Alex Gibney, delves into the origins and cultural impact of the series on its 25th anniversary.
In the trailer, Chase details the origins of Tony Soprano; he wanted to write about his fraught relationship with his own demanding mother, but wondered who would want to watch it. Then, however, he hit upon the idea of taking that relationship and giving it to a character who was "a really badass guy". The rest, of course, was TV history, remaking HBO and the entire television landscape to usher in the era of "prestige TV".
Who Is David Chase? Close A native of Mount Vernon, New Jersey, Chase toiled for decades in relative anonymity in the world of network television, working on shows like Kolchak: The Night Stalker, The Magician, and The Rockford Files. He co-created the short-lived Tim Daly/Eve Gordon drama Almost Grown, but it was canceled after a single season.
The Sopranos New Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano deals with personal and professional issues in his home and business life that affect his mental state, leading him to seek professional psychiatric counseling. Wise Guy: David Chase and The Sopranospremieres September 7, 2024, on Max. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates, and watch the new trailer for Wise Guy below.
