After a nationwide casting call, "The Sopranos" creator David Chase has tapped John Magaro, newcomer Will Brill and John Huston's grandson Jack to star in his still-untitled feature directorial debut, Paramount announced on Friday.
Steven Van Zandt, the E Street Band guitarist who played Silvio Dante on "The Sopranos," will exec produce the film and produce/supervise the music for the coming-of-age tale, which follows a group of suburban New Jersey guys making their way in the 1960s as a rock band called the Twilight Zones.
Paramount Vantage will release the picture, which is set to begin production in January in New York.
