We interrupt our Emmy winner review week to bring you … drum roll … the GOAT of all Emmy winners: That’s right, ladies and gentlemen. 14 years after that controversial cut to black finale of the Sopranos — the 21 Emmy award recipient and top contender for the greatest show ever made — and 8 years after the death of its charismatic lead James Gandolfini, HBO is out with the long-awaited prequel movie The Many Saints of Newark. Set around the Newark riots of the 1960s, the film looks at the early life and influences of a young crime boss to be Tony Soprano (played by Gandolfini’s real-life son Michael).

A nostalgia ????grab, fan service or a fresh take? That’s been the perennial question surrounding this project. While the movie promises be one heck of a nostalgia trip for fans of the show, series creator David Chase points out in this Rolling Stone interview (watch, runtime: 34:41) that this is a wholly original story that also shines a light on new characters (namely Christopher’s father Dicky) and the racial tension and social upheaval of the ‘60s that made Tony the boss he was. So far the movie holds a score of 77% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.

Fans in Egypt will have to wait though: While the movie is seeing a simultaneous release on the Warner Bros. theaters and HBO Max today, El Cinema reports that the movie is due to land in theaters in Egypt on 1 October. In the meantime, you’ll have to make do with the trailer (watch, runtime: 2:22).
