The Many Saints of Newark doesn't have much public detail available yet, but we do know that The Sopranos creator David Chase is at the helm, having co-written the script for the film with producer Lawrence Konner.

This is the second HBO television property to be getting the movie treatment, as Deadwood is also getting a feature film.

No word on when we may possibly see this film, but we'll keep you updated.
