Yes, entire series. {nm}

Posted by: RollingThunder on Oct 15, 11:13 in response to slipping jimmy's post did you watch The Sopranos when it originally aired?

THS: Sopranos prequel is set to begin in early March of 2019. [TMSON] Character breakdowns Antibody Oct 15, 09:33

Why do we need a Sopranos prequel? Why does Chase want to mess with this incredible legacy? {nm} Goodvibe61 Oct 15, 09:48

$$$$$ {nm} DTravel Oct 15, 09:52

Really? David Chase needs the money? To me there's so much for potential down side to this than upside. Think about it. {nm} Goodvibe61 Oct 15, 10:40

Yes, same reason other millionaires keeps working, aging rockstars keeps touring...etc. {nm} Antibody Oct 15, 10:48

Unfortunately, greed is a contagion. I'm with you - I'd pass on this project if I was still able to keep the lights on. {nm} RollingThunder Oct 15, 11:05

Yes, entire series. RollingThunder Oct 15, 11:13

Chase wanted to end the show after season 5 but got paid a lot of money by HBO to do an extended sixth season, which was pretty great slipping jimmy Oct 15, 11:18

Comes down to priorities. I'm all for preservation of things that ended on a high note. Never seen a hearse with a roof rack. {nm} RollingThunder Oct 15, 11:25

So no Godfather II? {nm} Antibody Oct 15, 11:27

No Better Call Saul? NOOOOOO!!!!! {nm} Moviesnob Oct 15, 11:36

Was before I was born. Did public sentiment at the time clamor for a sequel? If that came out today, I'd be hard pressed to make another. RollingThunder Oct 15, 11:36

original Godfather was the highest grossing movie in history until Jaws was release {nm} slipping jimmy Oct 15, 11:42

True. They never made a 'Wizard of Oz 2' for a reason, though. {nm} RollingThunder Oct 15, 11:43

Return to Oz (and it's really good) {nm} slipping jimmy Oct 15, 11:45

Oz the Great and Powerful (and it's not really good) {nm} BSmurf Oct 15, 11:47

The Wiz is awesome! {nm} Moviesnob Oct 15, 11:49

Were sequels common in the 40s? Godfather is actually the first studio film with Part II in its title. {nm} Antibody Oct 15, 11:47

Depends on how you describe "sequel". Chaplin was going strong with his Tramp character at the time. {nm} BSmurf Oct 15, 11:48

Thin Man series had several installments but it wasn't titled with "Part" {nm} slipping jimmy Oct 15, 11:51

The Road... movies with Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. Frankenstein + Bride of Frankenstein + Frankenstein crossovers. Loads of Tarzan movies - RogerMore Oct 15, 12:16

I understand you're being rhetorical, but 1) Money 2) If he doesn't do it, someone else eventually will. {nm} Antibody Oct 15, 09:52

That and WB needs to spark interest in legacy SOPRANOS content for their streaming service for 2019. {nm} notfabio Oct 15, 10:37

Chase can do mob stories, clearly. the thing that elevated Sopranos (imo) was the psychological angle. hard to see those elements getting slipping jimmy Oct 15, 11:12

because if it'sdone right, we'll all be glad it was made, if it was bad, we'll all just "fuggedaboutit"! Sleprock Oct 15, 10:46
