There's going to be a 'Sopranos' movie written by the show's creator - here's everything we know so far

"The Sopranos" creator David Chase wrote the screenplay with Lawrence Konner

New Line Cinema bought the screenplay

Chase will be a producer as well as co-writer. He's also reportedly involved in picking a director.

The movie's working title is "The Many Saints of Newark"

The title of the movie is subject to change.

It's set in the 60s, and will cover an era in Newark when African-Americans and Italian Americans were in conflict.

Some characters from the show will appear in the film

Given the 60s setting, we'll probably get to know Tony Soprano’s father, Giovanni “Johnny Boy,” the former captain of the Soprano crew. We could also see a younger version of Tony's mom, Livia, who appeared in the show's first two seasons, as well as Tony’s uncle Junior, one of the most beloved characters from the series.

We could also get a more in depth look at Tony's childhood, along with his sisters Janice and Barbara.
