HBO Unveils Trailer, Premiere Date For Two-Part Alex Gibney Doc ‘Wise Guy: David Chase And The Sopranos’


HBO's doc 'Wise Guy: David Chase and the Sopranos' has unveiled its premiere date and first trailer.

In Wise Guy, Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney( Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief) delves deep into the psyche of Sopranos creator and writer, David Chase, to illuminate his life and career while offering a unique window into his unparalleled work on the iconic program. On a replica set of Dr. Melfi’s psychiatrist’s office, Gibney flips the script on Chase, excavating and analyzing the origins of The Sopranos, his creative process, and the intimate connections between his own life and many of his characters. From his own upbringing in an Italian American family in north New Jersey, with a complicated mother and a fascination with cinema, Chase details his entrée into Hollywood, where he wrote for a multitude of television shows, and his relationship with HBO as he pitched and developed his anti-hero mobster Tony Soprano.
