With 'The Sopranos' set to return to US TV screens next month, the series creator, David Chase, has confirmed that the acclaimed drama will end next year, but added that a big screen outing remains a remote possibility.
Speaking to the New York Times, Chase said: "It may be that in two or three or four years I could be sitting around and get an idea for a really great 'Sopranos' movie."
He continued: "I don't think that will happen. But if one morning somebody woke up and said this would make a really good, concise, contained 'Sopranos' story, I wouldn't rule that out."
The new 12-episode season of 'The Sopranos' begins on US TV on 12 March; the final eight episodes of the series will be broadcast from January 2007.
