KEY POINTS:
There's a rumour going round The Sopranos will be made into a movie - and it comes from a pretty reliable source.
According to reports from overseas, the manager of Satin Dolls, known to fans of the TV show as the Bada Bing, says renovations of the club were put on hold following a phone call about plans to make a feature film based on New York's favourite crime family. Nick D'Urso was not willing to say who called him but insists the information is legitimate.
"I got an inside tip that they're going to do a movie, so I don't want to make any major changes," said D'Urso. "I'm not going to reveal my sources, but we got a call from somebody [working] on the script."
An HBO spokeswoman replied to D'Urso's claims with a firm "no comment".
With Journey's Don't Stop Believing playing in the background, the Emmy-winning series finished in New Zealand in September after 86 episodes, eight years and many a bloody, mob-style murder. The finale left fans wondering what happened to Tony. As he, Carmela and kids Meadow and AJ sat at a diner, a suspicious character in a Members Only jacket lurked at the counter and in the last few moments the screen went black. Creator David Chase, it seemed, had the last laugh.
The possibility of a movie is no surprise to fan Sue Sadik - widely known as "Soprano Sue," a self-made locations expert who befriended cast and crew members. Her website, sopranosue.com, is devoted to the show's filming locations.
"As soon as the finale ended, I got a call from somebody on the crew who said, `We're going to make a movie'," she said.
