Does anyone else dislike the trailer?


It looks nothing like the HBO series and the kid has no screen presence. Also, the music choice and the tone of the whole thing is off. It looks like one of those straight to VOD action movies.

It's too hard to tell, but I'm curious about the whole premise of making Tony's character arc so intertwined with the Moltasanti family. As tragic as Christofuh's life was he was really a two-bit punk so his death in The Sopranos, while tragic, was no more tragic than Tony Blundetto or Bobby Bacala. I've watched the Sopranos series so many times over the years and I never got the impression that the Moltisanti family was all that interesting even though Chase played up Tony's connection to Christofuh to a fault even. It gets so bad I even sympathize with Paulie when he calls out Chrissy playing the "family relations card".

Some of the casting is weird as well with Uber-Nordic looking Bill Magnusson playing Neapolitan guido Paulie Walnuts. I'll hold out judgement after I watch it.
