If there's going to be a Soprano's movie, as David Chase has implied, then killing Tony would tie an anchor to that.
However, I think Tony has to die. I can't imagine it working any other way, unless he "wakes up" to discover he actually was the salesman he dreamed he was in his coma. That ending would piss me off.
If there is a movie, it would most likely focus around AJ, possibly with a recovered Sil behind the scenes pulling strings. Paulie is the only other capo I can imagine leading the family, but it couldn't be successful for long.
