Some months ago we were dismayed to learn the 'The Sopranos' star James Gandolfini's upcoming HBO pilot 'Criminal Justice' wouldn't go to series, despite its impressive pedigree and established BBC predecessor. Now, it seems that 'Criminal Justice' will return Gandolfini to HBO after all, moving forward as a limited series! Find out about Tony Soprano's next gig inside!
Sorry folks, but Tony Soprano isn't coming back to HBO just yet. Despite a fairly high-profile project the pay-cable network has officially passed on the James Gandolfini-fronted pilot 'Criminal Justice,' adapted from the 2008 Peter Moffatt BBC crime drama of the same name. Of course, Gandolfini still retains his partnership with the network, having appeared in HBO Pictures' 'Cinema Verite' and executive produced the recent 'Hemingway and Gellhorn' but what about 'Criminal Justice' couldn't HBO get behind?
Don't count your cannolis just yet, but it seems like HBO might have its most recognizable star Tony Soprano James Gandolfini returning to the cable network that made him an icon. The former 'Soprano's' star has just signed on to become the lead in the pilot episode for 'Criminal Justice,' adapted from the 2008 Peter Moffatt BBC crime drama of the same name. However, will Gandolfini stick with the series if HBO decides to pick up the pilot?
