"The Sopranos" sequel "The Many Saints of Newark" will soon roll for the cameras. However, this project from series creator David Chase won't be another television show. Instead, it will be a feature-length movie about the life of Richard "Dickie" Moltisanti. Alessandro Nivola has been cast to play the lead in "The Many Saints of Newark." He confirmed in an interview with Esquire that work on the film will begin this coming April. 

So far, however, production hasn't announced any additional casting, including who will play a young Tony Soprano. But Nivola also revealed that Tony would be a teenager needing guidance in "The Many Saints of Newark" and Dickie will be the only person watching over this young man's welfare.
