COULD James Gandolfini's legal battles with HBO get him whacked? Nevermind that
few people would want to watch "The Sopranos" without him - the latest
unsubstantiated rumor from the troubled set is that the producers are so fed up
with Gandolfini's demand for a reported $2.5 million per episode, they've
decided to kill him off on the first show of the new season, tentatively to air
next January. "Unless your source is David Chase," an HBO rep says, "he would
be mistaken." According to our tipster, Gandolfini will never shoot any new
footage, so they'll splice together Tony Soprano's hit from old footage of him
walking into a diner in Nutley, N.J. Series co-stars Michael Imperioli, Aida
Turturro and Robert Iler will be on hand later this month to film the scene, in
which gunshots will be heard but the actual murder won't be shown. "People will
at least tune in to see him get whacked," the source tells PAGE SIX's Ian
Spiegelman. Supposedly next to die is Drea DeMatteo, who won't survive the
third episode.

Hope this doesnt happen i will still watch the show but with out tony will be a lot diffrent.

Where did you hear this propiganda?

Im guessing in the New York Post, Don Ferro. :rolleyes:

Honestly I would watch the show if Gandolfini wanst in it. It would be like watching the Godfather without Al Pacino.
