While Entourage never tried to present itself as challenging television, it gained fans for being a window into the Hollywood dream-scape. Characterized by the epitome of all that is cool- sex, drugs and rock n’ roll – Entourage essentially was every man’s dream-life– our mantasy. Entourage was for men what Sex and the City was for women. We wanted that life.
Unlike other shows that grab a movie deal over cancellation, Entourage went out on its own terms and the show-runners and cast had decided eight seasons was quite enough. Still, fans of the series will be happy to hear that Adrian Grenier, Kevin Connolly, Jerry Ferrara, Kevin Dillon and Jeremy Piven are all expected to return so Vince, E, Turtle, Drama and Ari Gold will all be back for more.
Series creator and director Doug Ellin will direct the film and also wrote the screenplay. Executive producers Mark Walkberg and Stephen Levinson will remain on for the film as well. While there’s no official confirmation of what the film is likely to be about expect it to pick up where it left off.
For those that don’t remember, Ari had just pledged his undying devotion to his life and had decided to sacrifice his illustrious career to run off with her and finally be the husband she deserved. Happy ending right? Well in the very closing moments, Ari gets a phone call offering him the position of a major studio head. What was does he go? No one knows. Expect the movie to at least tackle this while also trying to go a little more mainstream, familiarizing newcomers to the characters and their oft-kilter lifestyles.
All we can hope for now is Vince in James Cameron‘s Aquaman.
