(Gibson) Writer-director David Chase, who created HBO series The Sopranos, has reunited on an upcoming film project with E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt, who portrayed Silvio Dante, Tony Soprano's consigliere, on the show. Chase scoured the country to find the three young unknowns he ultimately cast in the yet-to-be-titled rock 'n' roll film. He also hired Van Zandt to supervise the movie's music, as well as executive produce.Set in the 1960s, the film follows a suburban New Jersey band called the Twilight Zones. The film will begin shooting in New York in January. "I am thrilled to be working with Steven again, especially on this particular subject," Chase told Billboard. "It's not just that we both worship the same songs and bands from the era, it's that he obviously knows so much. About every aspect. He embodies a particular spirit of a particular kind of rock 'n' roll. He actually is that spirit." -
