We'll see how this prequel movie is. Can't imagine it being like The Sopranos without Gandolfini, though.

Considering they're making this movie, you have to believe that if Gandolfini were here they might have made a movie that picked up where The Sopranos left off. In one interview, David Chase defended the idea to an interviewer who said he hoped it wouldn't happen.

"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
