Producers Talk Entourage Ending & Big Screen Plans
By Jolie LashBEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- It may air on HBO, but donât expect shocking endings for any of the characters when âEntourageâ wraps up its final season later this year. âThereâs no major deaths, thereâs no major things,â Creator/Executive Producer Dough Ellin told reporters on Thursday at the Television Critics Association Summer Session 2011 in Beverly Hills as he sat alongside the cast and fellow EP Mark Wahlberg for the groupâs final gathering. âItâs really hopefully just a vibe⦠kind of [like in the] first season where people just used to go, âThese are my boys⦠I got a friend like E, I got a friend like Turtle or Dramaâ¦ââ âWe just want a vibe,â he added of how the series, which returned to HBO on Sunday, will end. âThat was it. â Ellin and Wahlberg confirmed again that they do plan to turn âEntourageâ into a movie â" eventually. âI said if I had to finance it myself I would do it,â Wahlberg told reporters. âI certainly hope that this has a chance to become a feature film and people have always complained that the episodes are too short and they want to go on a journey with these guys,â Wahlberg continued. âWeâre gonna do a movie,â Ellin added more definitively of the big screen push. âItâs a question of when, how quick [we can]⦠come up with an idea and make it happen.â While the big screen âEntourageâ journey is a ways off, Adrian Grenier, who has played Vince for eight seasons (theyâve wrapped shooting the final season), said his character remains with him in real life. âIâve always found a lot of wisdom in the show and particularly through my character whoâs been able to be a guiding force to the guys,â Adrian said. âI look up to him and I take a lot of cues from him. When he says stuff like, âGood or bad, you canât listen to what these people sayâ⦠The idea is, whatâs important is not the fame, the money, the glitz, the glam, the girls. Whatâs important is right here at home with the guys and Iâve tried to live with that line since the beginning.â Copyright 2011 by NBC Universal, Inc.
