I really hope so I have been wanting a movie since the 3rd Season
Tony Soprano & Co will be whacked from HBO's schedule next year, its creator promises.
But don't lay awake wondering if this means Tony will meet his end: David Chase has left open the possibilities of a Sopranos movie somewhere down the line — leaving open ever so slightly the tantalizing possibility that the Sopranos could eventually become a movie franchise:
"The Sopranos" will definitely be taken out next year, the show's creator said, though he can't say it won't hit the big screen at some point.
"It may be that in two or three or four years I could be sitting around and get an idea for a really great 'Sopranos' movie," David Chase told The New York Times in a joint interview with James Gandolfini, star of the HBO series. "I don't think that will happen. But if one morning somebody woke up and said this would make a really good, concise, contained 'Sopranos' story, I wouldn't rule that out."
It'd be hard to do that if Tony is rubbed out. Prison? That could open some possibilities. (Or on the last HBO episode will Tony wake up in bed and be Bob Newhart, realizing it was just another dream?) MORE:
Chase, also the series' executive producer, and Gandolfini reflected on the show and the trajectory of its central character, mobster Tony Soprano, in an article appearing in Sunday's editions.
Gandolfini's character never crossed the line into killing family members, except to spare a cousin a worse death by enemies.
"I think there's a place Tony knows that if he goes to, he's not coming back, and that's the place," Gandolfini said. "If you start killing family members, what's next?"
Yes, and family issues seems to be one of the underlying issues in the series. So if you thought the series will end with the death of Tony fuhgeddabouddit. With him killing his wife? Geddouddaheeyuh..
