The previously unseen short epilogue to David Chase’s legendary show is said to reveal that Tony Soprano survived the series. The scene allows a glimpse of his future life in a witness protection programme with his wife, Carmella (played by Edie Falco).
Falco revealed the project was directed by Jonathan Hoock, and that it was conceived and shot entirely in an attempt to lure basketball player LeBron James to the New York Knicks. “We got those requests all the time back then and Jim Gandolfini, he did nothing,” she has reportedly said. “And somehow, he agreed to this thing, which I was shocked by. I thought it was a prank when someone said Jim’s going to do it.”
