David Chase getting ready for first movie

‘The Sopranos’ creator David Chase has made a deal with Paramount to shoot his first feature film. And as long as the movie isn’t going to drag on like the last seasons of ‘The Sopranos,’ I’m happy about it. Chase will be writing, directing and producing the movie, so don’t expect this to come out next year.

It probably won’t be a Sopranos movie either. “There’s no reason for us to foreclose the idea of ever doing a feature. But so far, that definitely hasn’t happened. I don’t think it will,” David Chase said. But his Paramount friend Brad Grey does have high hopes for the movie — naturally. “David is one of the great storytellers of our time, and his debut as a filmmaker is both highly anticipated and long overdue. In truth, David has been creating cinematic-quality filmed drama for more than a decade — spanning nine seasons and 86 episodes of The Sopranos,” he said.

I’m not sure about it spanning all the 86 episodes, but ‘The Sopranos’ did have some of the greatest TV moments of the last decade. For more on this movie, you might want to check back in a year or two.
