James Gandolfini is a gangster again in his last movie. The Drop trailer released.
I miss James Gandolfini. It still feels like he should be arriving on Sunday nights for some after-dinner espresso like he did during The Sopranos’ heyday. The trailer for James Gandolfini's last movie The Drop dropped today and it’s a crime thriller set in Brooklyn. James Gandolfini is a gangster again. He’s not Tony Soprano, mob boss, he’s just an earner. And maybe not even a good one.
The Drop was written by Dennis Lehane, who also wrote Mystic River. It also stars Noomi Rapace and Tom Hardy. According to the press release and the trailer, James Gandolfini plays Marv, a low-level criminal who runs swag out of the bar he used to own, but now is the bartender at. Tom Hardy plays Bob, who’s in his crew. The bar gets robbed after local wise guys make a cash drop and it looks like Bob and Marv get fingered in the heist.
This will be James Gandolfini’s second and, I believe but hope I’m wrong, posthumous film. Gandolfini starred with Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the critically acclaimed romantic comedy Enough Said.
James Gandolfini died of a heart attack in Rome on June 19, 2013. He was 51.
The Drop is Rated R and will hit theaters on Sept. 19.
