It stars the principal cast of the show, including Kevin Connolly, Adrian Grenier, Kevin Dillon, Jerry Ferrara, and Jeremy Piven. The film is scheduled to be released on June 3, 2015.

Plot

The film picks up where the series left off, chronicling the continuing career of movie star Vincent Chase and his entourage of friends. Ari bankrolls Vince's directorial debut with a $100 million budget which goes $15 million over. He does this by securing financing from a Texas billionaire Larsen McCredle and his son Travis. Vince continues his carefree lifestyle saying if the film fails they can just move back to Queens. Now with his own studio Ari deals with the problems of being a start up movie producer in his own ill tempered way.

Cameos

The following portray fictionalized versions of themselves:

Production

In August 2010, when it was confirmed that the eighth season of Entourage would be the last, creator Doug Ellin expressed interest in writing a film after the series ended.[21]

In September 2011, Adrian Grenier confirmed there would be a film, and a script just needs to be written first.[22] Executive producer Mark Wahlberg confirmed that a film is in the works and said "I will do everything to get this film made".[23] In June 2012, Wahlberg said the cast would be "traveling abroad" during production of the film, with it possibly taking place in Europe.[24]

In September 2012, it was confirmed that Ellin had completed the script and that it would take place six months after the end of the series.[25] In January 2013, the film was officially green-lit, and it was confirmed that Ellin would direct the film and Warner Bros. would distribute.[26] However, by September 2013, amid reports that there had been significant delays in production and contract issues with the film's cast, Ellin stated the film was "less and less likely every day."[27] In October 2013, the cast had reached a deal, confirming the film would move forward.[1] Filming officially began on February 19, 2014, in Los Angeles, with additional filming in Miami.[3] The film was previously set for a June 12, 2015 release,[28] but on October 24, 2014, Warner Bros. moved it up a week to June 5, 2015.[29] In April 2015, the release date was moved up two days to June 3, 2015.[30]

In March 2014, it was reported that adult film actresses Lilly Banks, Maia Davis, Spencer Scott, and Anna Morna had shot scenes for the film.[31]

Several cast members shot a scene for the film on the red carpet at the 72nd Golden Globe Awards on January 11, 2015.[32]
