Academy Award-winning documentarian Alex Gibney, known for his deep dives into subjects like Scientology, Enron, and Lance Armstrong, is turning his attention to *The Sopranos*. In 2007, Gibney won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature for *Taxi to the Dark Side*, which examined the U.S. “war on terror.”
His latest project, a two-part Max documentary titled *Wise Guy: David Chase and The Sopranos*, delves into the mind of the groundbreaking show’s creator. Speaking with *The Treatment*, Gibney reveals his interest in the complex relationship between three key figures: David Chase, the late actor James Gandolfini, and the iconic character Tony Soprano. Gibney also shares why he meticulously recreated the therapist’s office from the series for the documentary and how he managed to get the famously private Chase to open up.
