According to today's NY Post, HBO and James Gandolfini have come to a deal which will pay Gandofini slightly more than $1 million per episode, by increasing his take from DVD sales. Gandolfini and HBO talked into the small hours of yesterday morning, in LA. Gandofini is expected to drop his suit against HBO first, so that HBO can say the actor was the first to back down.

Great. Now get crackin on some new episodes you fuckin varments, you!

Gandolfini to back down first my ass. THeyre the ones who paid him. But on a happier note HALLELUIA or however you spell it. Its about time.

I am so glad to hear that!HBO knows that they could never continue the show without Gandolfini.

TIS

Ah, Yes, Bring on Season 5! Lets make it like Season 1 or 2!

Finally! That's so good to hear! It'll be another year before I see it though!

mick

woohooooo, GO JIMMY!lol

Here's a link to the full story.

HBO TO CUT TONY IN ON PIECE OF \'SOPRANO\' ACTION

Thats great news, Im glad they worked it out.

Thank Gawd!!

I just read the Daily news. They said it would start in th end of Fall this year if the 5th season is made

The Boston Herald had story today that JG has dropped his lawsuit as planned and production could start as early as March 30. It also mentioned that the rest of the cast would be paid for the week in delay. No real firm numbers on JG's contract but it looks like they came together somewhere in the middle. It said David Chase has the season opener written and plans to conlclude the series with a 2hr. finale at the end of season 5 (unless of course HBO can talk him into 6).
I read it hardcopy and looked on the website for a link but to no avail. They're sometimes a little late getting stuff to their site.

Thanks for the update, Tony D. At least it looks like we'll get another season out of ol' Tone.

I read today, that James Gandolfini has signed a deal, and filming for the next series starts in April

Looks like James G. will hope that many people buy the 5th seasons DVD collection..or he will not make more money!
Hey, at least they are back to work.

According to the papers, David Chase is making the 5th season the very last. Also "sex and the city" will have one more season. The HBO chief said something about them having 2 news shows to replace "Sopranos" and "sex and the city" by next year since they both will have 1 more season. Afterall "Sopranos" and "Sex and the City" are the biggest shows on HBO currently

yeah, has anyone watched 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' on hbo? its just being shownm in Britain now. Also 'Six Feet Under', both great shows. very pleased with the sopranos news though.

Both are very good...this start of the last season of Six Feet Under is getting a bit soft...two much on the weird family and not enought Funeral fun, problems and stories like the first season.
But, of course this is coming from a funeral director, but many I have talked to say the same thing.
'Curb Your Enthusiasm' is great if you just give it a chance to grow on you. Some people don't give it a chance to get rooted...Really funny if you can get that kind of humor...I like it very much!

First time I heard about Sex in the city comming back. That would be great. I just don't like when they run reruns over and over again... then you don't know if it is a rerun or a new show.

They do that with ER on Thursday nights and it really gets to you after a while. For crying out loud give us a full season.

I think Curb Your Enthusiasm is great, Six Feet Under too, I havent seen any of the new series yeh though, shame to hear it might not be as good.

This is good. Finally.
