Denied: No Sopranos Movie

Sorry Sopranos fans! There won't be a big screen version of the hit HBO series, says one of its stars, Michael Imperioli.

"I've heard a lot of rumors but the last thing I heard David saying was that it wasn't happening," Michael said, referring to Sopranos creator David Chase.

"I'd be surprised if it did because David never did stuff just for the sake of it," he continues. "I think he found a way to close the story."

Michael,who now plays a hard-boiled detective on ABC's upcoming drama Life on Mars, set in the 1970s, said he loved the cryptic Sopranos finale.

"I thought it was perfect," he said adding that the show is still "part of my life" and that he sees the cast "from time to time."
