Downtown Newark had changed so markedly in the decades after TheSopranos that much of TheManySaintsOfNewark was shot in the Bronx
” is a prequel to the beloved HBO series “The Sopranos,” but it unfolds in a much different sliver of New Jersey. This film is set in the apartment buildings and tenements of 1960s and ’70s Newark instead of the sprawling McMansions where Tony and much of his crew decamped on the show.
There were a few scenes, however, that the “Many Saints” creatives believed could not be replicated up the turnpike. Shaw and his team worked to re-create the 1967 riot while shooting in Branford Place, a prominent shopping district that they outfitted with retro signs for bars and delis and period-appropriate theater marquees. Cars were set ablaze; smoke machines were utilized; and actors in National Guard uniforms rolled down the streets in tanks and jeeps pursuing scores of extras.
Even though the setting may be more urban than that of the series, there are still familiar signposts. A key scene where Tony is supposed to have a sit-down with Dickie took place in the doorway of Holsten’s, the diner where the Soprano family eats dinner in the series finale right before the show’s infamous fade to black. Very little had to be done to dress that location, other than to outfit the restaurant with a period-appropriate awning.
