Steven Van Zandt consulted on The Sopranos prequel The Many Saints of Newark
-
Although a younger version of Silvio Dante appears in the film, played by John Magaro, Van Zandt isn't in the David Chase-directed movie. But Chase asked Van Zandt to consult. “I saw several of the early cuts,” Van Zandt said in a SiriusXM interview, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “He’s been tinkering now with it for a couple of years. So it may be a whole different movie by the time I see it again. He wanted me and (wife and fellow Sopranos actress) Maureen to see it and give him some input. Silvio is in it, just 30 years earlier.”
