The Sopranos creator David Chase held court during the 60th edition of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (KVIFF) in the Czech Republic on Tuesday. A day before appearing at the expanded and broadened KVIFF Industry Days program of the festival, the seven-time Emmy winner was in much demand but took time to chat with groups of reporters about his work and the state of the industry.
Of course, much time was dedicated to The Sopranos. But Chase was also asked about his new project at HBO, which was unveiled in the fall. He optioned John Lisle’s nonfiction book Project Mind Control: Sidney Gottlieb, the CIA and the Tragedy of MKULTRA to adapt it as a limited series. The drama project, entitled Project: MKUltra, should it go to series, will be Chase’s first HBO effort since his Sopranos prequel film.
