The HBO series ENTOURAGE ended in 2011, and many have wondered how long it would take before the movie would finally hit. In about six months they’ll get the follow-up they’ve been waiting for. Kevin Connolly, Adrian Grenier, Kevin Dillon, Jerry Ferrara and Jeremy Piven are all back, joined by faces like Billy Bob Thornton, Haley Joel Osment, Ronda Rousey, Emily Ratajkowski, Emmanuelle Chriquiand even Mark Wahlberg (who the show is based on and produced by). The film takes place where the show ended, with Ari now running a studio that has invested a LOT of money in Vincent Chase (Grenier), who wants to direct his own film. The movie is directed by Doug Ellin, who actually co-created the series with Wahlberg. The opening of the trailer below might be confusing for those unfamilar with the show, as it’s a trailer for fake movie (called HYDE) that’s being made within the universe these guys exist in. Sadly, or hilariously, it looks like a pretty legitimate trailer you’d see these days. Check out the ENTOURAGE movie posters (above and below) and the trailer underneath the press release, and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
“Entourage,” the much-anticipated big-screen version of the award-winning hit HBO series, reunites the show’s original cast, led by Kevin Connolly, Adrian Grenier, Kevin Dillon, Jerry Ferrara and Jeremy Piven.
Movie star Vincent Chase (Grenier), together with his boys, Eric (Connolly), Turtle (Ferrara) and Johnny (Dillon), are back…and back in business with super agent-turned-studio head Ari Gold (Piven). Some of their ambitions have changed, but the bond between them remains strong as they navigate the capricious and often cutthroat world of Hollywood.
Also starring are Billy Bob Thornton and Haley Joel Osment as father and son, Larsen and Travis McCredle. Returning cast from the series also includes Perrey Reeves as Ari Gold’s wife; Emmanuelle Chriqui as Sloan; Rhys Coiro as Billy Walsh; Debi Mazar as Vince’s publicist, Shauna; Rex Lee as Lloyd; Constance Zimmer as Dana Gordon; and Nora Dunn as Dr. Marcus. Emily Ratajkowski appears as herself. Rounding out the cast are Alan Dale, who appeared in the series, rapper Scott Mescudi, and Rhonda Rousey.
“Entourage” creator Doug Ellin is directing the feature film from his own screenplay, story by Ellin and Rob Weiss, based on characters created by Ellin. Mark Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson and Ellin are producing, with Wayne Carmona serving as executive producer.
The behind-the-scenes creative team reunites several key members who worked on the original series, including director of photography Steven Fierberg, editor Jeff Groth, production designer Chase Harlan, and costume designer Olivia Miles.
Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Home Box Office, Inc., a Closest to the Hole Production, a Leverage Entertainment Production, a Doug Ellin Film, “Entourage.” The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company. The film is set to open in theaters on June 5, 2015.
