It's one of his many projects
James Gandolfini's legacy continues, as HBO is reviving a project he championed before his sudden death in 2013.
The Hollywood Reporter says that Big Dead Place, a modern-day survival tale that delves into the drama among scientists, blue-collar workers and politicians in Antarctica, now has Sopranosalum Tim Van Patten as director/executive producer attached.
