Production is underway on “The Sopranos” prequel movie, “The Many Saints of Newark.” James Gandolfini’s son, Michael Gandolfini, is playing the young version of his late father’s iconic mob-boss character, Tony Soprano.

“The Many Saints of Newark” is set in the 1960s during the Newark riots, five days of violence in the New Jersey city sparked by the beating of a black man by white police officers. At the time it was especially lethal among African American and Italian American gangsters involved in the fighting — 26 people died and more than 700 people were injured during the riot.

Alan Taylor (“Thor: The Dark World”), who directed nine episodes of the groundbreaking HBO series, is directing the film co-written by “The Sopranos” series creator David Chase and Lawrence Konner. Chase and Konner will also produce. Nicole Lambert and Marcus Viscidi are executive producing.
