Earlier this month, Michael spoke about how his father won’t be able to watch the film during an interview withWSJ. Magazine.
Speaking alongside producer David Chase and his costar, Nivola, Michael told the outlet, “I had known there isn’t a world where I’m going to make my dad proud — because I can’t.”
“I understand that,” he continued, before adding, “But I wanted to make David proud, and I wanted to make my fellow actors proud and learn as much as I can — that was a goal I could set.”
Speaking of his father’s role as Tony, Michael added, “My dad has this beautiful vulnerability on the inside of Tony and this aggression on the outside. David’s writing here kind of flipped that. I was like, All right. What if I make the vulnerability the surface and the rage slowly grows in him, right? Because of his parents. Then it was just about that.”
The Many Saints of Newarkwill be in theaters and on HBO Max on Oct. 1.
