The Sopranos creator David Chase has signed a deal to write, direct and produce his first feature film at Paramount Studios according to Variety . Chase's relationship with Paramount chairman and Sopranos exec-producer Brad Grey has allowed him a lot of freedom, including final cut. The film will reportedly have nothing to do with the mafia.
