For years it seemed like a mere dream. “An Entourage movie? I’ll believe that when I see it,” said people who think with their brains and not with their shriveled egos, adding, ” Oh god please no one make an Entourage movie.” The culmination of American cinema was first mentioned all the way back in 2009, and now, four years later, the greatest HBO series not named Game of Thrones, The Wire, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Veep, and basically every other HBO series ever will be turned into an honest-to-God film by Warner Bros, on like the big screen and sh*t.
Warner Bros has tonight given the green light on a movie version of Entourage, the HBO series that ran from 2004-2011.
The film will be directed by series creator Doug Ellin, who wrote the screenplay and who exec produced the series with Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson. Deals are starting to be made with Adrian Grenier, who played Chase, Kevin Connolly, who played his manager Eric “E” Murphy, Kevin Dillon, who played the actor’s brother Johnny Drama, Jerry Ferrara, who played their entrepreneurial driver Turtle, and Jeremy Piven, who played the show’s iconic type A talent agent Ari Gold. I’m sure Drama’s agent Lloyd (Rex Lee), E’s girl Sloan (Emmanuelle Chriqui), his management partner Scott (Scott Caan), and their quirky director collaborator Billy Walsh (Rhys Coiro) and Ari’s agency partner Barbara Miller (Beverly D’Angelo) will all be in the mix, along with a swarm of real Hollywood talent, playing themselves.

We haven’t seen the script, but we did hear a conversation between two bros after this news was announced.
INT. SOME SICK CRIB WITH NOTHING BUT POSTERS OF TWO GIRLS KISSING STRADDLING A FLEET OF ON-FIRE SPEEDBOATS ON THE WALLS.
CHET: Yo, Date Rape Steve, didja hear the news?
DATE RAPE STEVE: Wut?
DATE RAPE STEVE snorts a line of cocaine laid out on a DVD boxset of Burn Notice
CHET: The Entourage movie, they’re finally making it.
The two frat brothers jump out of their chairs, whip out their comically small penises, and start twirling them around in a celebratory fashion, stopping only occasionally to pop their collars and exchange stories about the time they saw Sublime NOT with Rome. But then DATE RAPE STEVE stops, as if to ponder something.
DATE RAPE STEVE: Do you think Vincent and his entourage…
A third friend, HEATH, bolts awake out of the pile of socks and used tampons and beer cans he was sleeping in.
HEATH: Oh, now I get it!
HEATH passes out again, his face falling into a puddle of his own vomit sprinkled with Hot Pocket packages.
DATE RAPE STEVE: Anyway, Vincent, Turtle, and the rest were, to put it bluntly, terrible people. I mean, for instance, not an episode went by where Ari didn’t criticize Lloyd, just because he was gay and Asian. They don’t deserve our empathy or our admiration. If anything, this film should be condemned, banned even. They were racists, misogynists, and they never suffered for any of their misdeeds over 96 episodes. Entourage was a consequence-free show that hailed its stars as God’s gift to not only women, but to the Earth as a whole.
CHET stares at DATE RAPE STEVE blindly for a moment.
CHET: Woah…but remember when that motherf*cker Turtle gets laughed at by 50 Cent?
DATE RAPE STEVE: Aw, hell yeah, broseph.
They go in for a high five, but when their hands connect, they explode in a giant fireball. The noise awakes HEATH.
HEATH: Heh, Warner Bros. has “bros” in its name.
THE END.

I accept that Jeremy Piven is pretty much a huge douchebag. But I don’t know him personally, so it really doesn’t matter that much to me. He’s an actor, you see. I’m not around him when he’s playing himself.
Anybody else enjoying Mr. Selfridge?
I wish Piven’s career had ended after PCU.
PCU was the shit. “Can you blow me where the pampers is?”
I hope Adrian Grenier can clear his busy schedule to make time for this.
Kevin Connolly might be too busy doing voiceovers for Best Buy commercials
Hopefully they’ll add a small Capuchin monkey…..for comic relief…
Seriously, can we stop talking about this dumb shit and talk about The Following? That show is fracking awesome.
yeah…. actually let’s just stop talking about entourage and never talk about the following.
Six movies and a season, broheim! Really, anything to keep them busy and off my lawn.
The theaters that screen this are going to reek of Axe Body Spray for months afterward.
They should do a My Life is Twilight for douche bags: “My Life is Entourage” where douches talk about how they totally crush life like the dudes on Entourage.
Odds on Marky Mark making a cameo where he flexes his muscles?
I stopped watching midway through the pilot. So you mean to tell me that they never grew as characters and never had to deal with any of their misdeeds? I’m hard pressed to believe that Marky Mark could condone this sort of juvenile wish fulfillment. HE IS AN ARTIST!
Um, er, uh…Oh yeah!

Rather watch TMZ
the cast of Entourage is like Voltron, only when they come together they form a Bro of average height.
And the Oscar for best supporting actor in a motion picture goes to Bobby Flay, playing himself.
I can only hope that Turtle, Drama and Piven all get doped with PCP during the shoot and go into a murder rage, attacking each other while the cameras film it and some how kill each other brutally and extremely violently.
A man can dream.
I am still waiting for the entourage bros to see this post and come defend the show. Those posts are always some of the most entertaining.
I’m pretty sure most self-respecting fraternity guys never liked Entourage and its new money, California dreamin’ shittiness.
The sad part isn’t that this movie is being made. It’s that it’ll end up making 100 million or more. 3 to 1 odds on a sequel that is based out of Bollywood.
here’s how this show could have had potential:
Intro: Four friends come to hollywood all with the goal of being famous/successful/rich, while declaring no matter what that their friendship remain the most important thing.
Conclusion: Four friends achieve said goal, but in the process do so, slowly throughout the show, by sacrificing the most important thing to them – their friendships – for it. In the end they all end up successful but hate/are indifferent to, one another for various reasons.
The main character of Vince dies tragically in the finale in some celebrity/actor way bringing the remaining friends together one last time as they realize the only solution is to move on with their lives completely separately, carrying the weight of all the bad shit that led to their success and their friend’s death.
i was hoping that it ended with vince going broke and E abandoning him. later Turtle and Johnny Drama go with E proving how full of shit they are and to end it all vince kills himself.
in truth i enjoyed this show up to and including, Vince firing Ari. Up until that point the concept was still pretty original and fresh, i felt it was pretty funny and enjoyable to watch on a sunday night. There were a bunch of solid moments on the show and progression up until that point with the characters. Eric was going from pizza boy to fake manager to real manager, Vince was becoming more and more famous while telling hollywood to fuck off in the process taking chances by doing things like telling off the studio for want to colorize Queens Boulevard and turning down Aquaman 2, Ari was struggling with his dickhead boss and then trying to build himself a business and was funny as hell going through those stresses.
And i thought ‘E’ firing Ari was a pretty awesome moment. Turned out that was the peak of the show. After that it went quickly to shit. The rest of season 3 sucked despite Carla Gugino. i thought they were going to get back on track when the opener of season 4 had the whole episode of Medillion as a film documentary and the promos of season 4 made it seem like that was going to be the whole season, them on location trying to get their movie off the ground throughout the whole season, investing their lives and livelihoods in this one project, making or breaking them and watching how that kind of experience affects people.
Instead it was one episode, and then the rest of season 4 went back to the usual bro douche stuff. And it just sucked from then on and on and on….
I dont understand why the writer of this article and all the idiots who commented think Entourage was a bad show…..it was entertaining, had hot chicks and celebrities playing themselves and misbehaving. What else do you need?There are plenty of shows out there that are worse. Give me a freakin break. You people just bash the show to make yourselves feel good like you are soooo sophisticated and only watch quality television shows (yeah right). Get off your high horses bc I am positive most of you watch shows that are way more garbage than entourage. I have never been in a frat nor do I like that culture so you can leave that out of it when you calculate your sophisticated responses….
1. I can see hot chicks wherever I can get internet access.
2. Do you really believe that the celebrities in the show were being ‘themselves’?
3. People bash the show because it had terrible writing. The plot line in nearly every episode revolved around some overblown life problem that typically worked itself out within 1-2 episodes. Throw in the same hahaha Lloyd is a gay Asian joke and you have a season wrap up party.
There was never any character development through the entire life cycle of the series. It was the same rehashed b.s. the entire way through. Any time something ‘bad’ happened to any major character, did you honestly think to yourself “they’ll never get out of this one”? You knew everything would work out just fine, because that’s what always happens.
I seriously doubt people who bash the show secretly love it and are just trying to make themselves feel good. It was just a terribly written show that showed tits and celebrities in every episode to hide that fact there was no substance, because deep down the producers know that people will watch…and they were right. Hooray for pandering to the lowest common denominator!
I enjoyed this show and im excited about the movie. There, i said it, shoot me
Is Entourage a terrible show? yes
Have i watched it several times? ABSOLUTLEY!!
i am pretty much obsessed with this show because it could have been a great drama if it had some writers with guts. E should have become a soulless hollywood suit because thats essentially what he was the whole time. Vince should have lost all of his money because he was an Idiot who refused to take any accountability for doing terrible things and not giving a shit. Turtle should have abandoned Vince to be a sycophant for E and eventually went back to New York to become a sad fat drunk for the rest of his days. LLoyd would have become the new Top agent because he was collecting blackmail the whole time on Ari and had him destroyed. Ari not being an agent and being dumped by his wife has to marry dana gordan and become her stay at home husband.
Johnny Drama should have won an Oscar because he was the only character i actually liked.
in summation i have spent way too much time and energy thinking about this but its not easy being obsessed.
also the ending scene was vince killing himself
I seriously hope I fucking die before this movie comes out.
the hatred is strong within this one
This show is stupid, and I grant you that the writing was very uncreative and weak, but I watched the whole series and found it to be entertaining. I guess pandering to the lowest common denominator works on me! But I love Community and Happy Endings, so don’t dismiss me as a fool.
Also, Ari was clearly the best part of the show. He was an awful human being, but that’s what made him amusing. He was supposed to be a misogynist, racist dickhead.
The fact that a film about a group of men trying and succeeding to have sex with as many women as possible is STILL the gayest movie that will ever exist has created a paradox that even Joseph Gordon Levitt can’t talk his way out of…
